Whoever the nominated in this guys category I want to win! That's about the only reason I'm watching...
I wasn't so sure at first, but her character has evolved nicely.
Natalie, is a little softer than Sharona...I liked the episode where Monks brother decided that he wanted to have a 'date' with Natalie...it was all very sweet and innocent...
I thought it was refreshing when you found out she was rich but refused to kiss up to the snobbish family and made her own way.
She was banned without explanation. She's entitled to bash a site that does that and the site deserves it.
This thread was nothing like the Live Award Threads of days gone by and this site is the poorer for the incomprehensible banning of not only her but her friends. Smart, witty, clever. Oh, yes, I can see why they would be persona non grata...not.
HLL? Are you referring to Hillary's Lovely Legs, an old time freeper who made these live threads a joy to come to?
Unfortunately, yes, she was banned, no reason given.
I agree, it is to the detriment of this site.
Glad that you used Comcast Cable as your reference, because that is the cable company that I called to make my inquiries...
I carefully read over what you printed up here...nowhere do they say that they use any information, which could in any way, ,be used to influence ratings of particular TV shows...what they seem to be concerned about, is what services they provide, do people use those services, how often do they use those services, and of course, things such as billing, marketing, customer satisfaction, etc...but nowhere is it ever mentioned that they do anything that can be construed as contributing to influencing ratings for any particular TV show, which is what we were discussing...
As far as I know, the main way that TV ratings are obtained, (and verified to me, by Comcast), is those Nielsen boxes, that x number of certain families voluntarily agree to have put on their TVs to specifically monitor which TV programs they watch...other ways could of course, things such a phone surveys, mail surveys, and the sponsors seeing an upsurge in their sales...
But as far as cable companies being able to know each and every show that their subscribers view, ,and then pass that info onto the TV industry, and thereby hope to influence ratings, is something that is just not so...
I did not find you crabby, just perhaps a little oversensitive to who was or was not talking about you behind your back..But I ,just found your view to be one which I do not agree with at all...
Stephen Fry's fruity portrayal of the imperturbable Jeeves totally ruined the piece for me. Fry is a homosexual's homosexual, not a gentleman's gentleman. His mincing and condescending gay posturing utterly destroyed Wodehouse's most memorable character, at least in my mind. I read every Bertie Wooster story I could find years ago and really looked forward to this program. I could only stand to watch about 5 minutes of it.
I didn't think Stephen Fry acted as 'homosexual' as you thought he did. He wasn't swishy, just supercilious.
To each his own. Have you read the stories? IIRC, Jeeves is never supercilious, just quietly imperturbable. He's the perfect calm, correct counterpoint to Bertie's nutty irresponsiblity. Fry is far more believable as Oscar Wilde than Jeeves, IMO.
I haven't seen Fry's protrayal of Oscar Wilde, but I can imagine he would do it well. I did like him as Jeeves, though.
Somehow, I find that rather hard to believe.
I have been here since 2001. In that time, I have personally had my account suspended twice, and in both instances there was a good reason behind it. However, one thing I have yet to hear of is someone being outright banned from here without good reason.
I am sure she knows good and well what the reason is. She just doesn't want to talk about it because it will besmirch (sp?) her victim status.
Got a problem with facts, do you?
Sorry, but it's true. Others were banned without explanation, too.
I really don't care what your particular history is. I've read the board since '97 and am well acquainted with the peculiarities that surround the place.
Sorry, but it's true. Others were banned without explanation, too.
Name them.
And keep running your mouth. I am sure the powers that be won't have any qualms with you joining those numbers.

Excuse me? Feeling threatened are you? Goodness. I didn't realize I was so intimidating.
It's one thing to bite the hand that feeds you, another to use their bandwidth to do it.
I'm stating my opinion on the open forum because it's what I think. I think they made a mistake to ban them, especially in light of some of the posters allowed to remain.
If they think my negative evaluations outweigh my opinions on the political scene and wish to ban me, that would be yet another foolish decision, but theirs to make.
Don't flatter yourself. You are not all that.
I'm a valuable forum member as were the others.
What view?Comcast rules are here for all to read they MAY do anything they want.Are you talking about Ellen Degeneres turn her off as fast as you can.What view -comcast-Ellen?
