[apocalypsos]

You know, I don't think I could ever bring myself to hit my own kids, but the more I watch Lynette with her kids, the more that all I can think of is my grandmother and her seven kids, five of them boys and all of whom she used to spank with a wooden spoon. (Which my aunt Irene still has. Yeah, there's a childhood memento to keep around.) And as much as I'm against spanking for my own kids (should I ever have any), I keep screaming at the TV when Lynette's onscreen, "Damn it, spank the little bastards already!" (And the neighbor, Mrs. Landingham -- which isn't what her name was, but hello, West Wing -- was very cool in the end.)

Aw, Rex just got so puppy-excited about Bree doing the domination thing. And he has a box of S&M toys in the closet! BWAH. Why the hell didn't Bree ever find them in there? And I give her credit for trying, although seriously, Bree, I love you but you need to loosen up just a wee bit. Handcuffs in the dishwasher? No, Bree, sub-dom games now, intense scrubbing and disinfectant later.

Okay, so, Susan? Yeah, don't you think that now would be a good time to stop dating Mike? I mean, you know he has a stash of money and a gun in his cabinet, and now he's got a mysterious gunshot wound. And I know he seems like a great guy, but he also seems like a freakin' criminal. Also, if my mother had ever walked into my bedroom and just blurted out anything involving the words "cervix," I'd still be jamming Q-Tips through my eardrums in an attempt to get the bad brain cells outs. Stop warping Julie's fragile young mind.

As for Gabrielle, it's good that she's getting knocked down a peg, because that Pretty Pretty Princess routine was getting really, REALLY old. And next week, bad Gabrielle! No gardener!

EDIT: Why aren't you watching Boston Legal, damn it? William Shatner and Candice Bergen are flirting, and it's actually kinda hot in a very weird, old way. :)

OTHER EDIT: The first season of Night Court is on DVD?! Yes, yes it is! And it's twenty-one bucks?! *squeals, keels over, dies*

"Denny ... Denny, Denny, Denny Craaaaaaane." BWAH. Candice Bergen is awesome.

Also, Freddie Prinze Jr. next week? ACK. I feel fear. Hold me? *whimper*

Appropros of Night Court:

LOOK AT ME NEW YORK!

I tuned in to watch Shatner create this bizarrely wonderful character after he won his Emmy, and now, with the addition of Candice Bergan, I'm addicted. Betty White recently joined the cast and she's just the cherry on top with her sparkly, saccarine snark. I think they're getting all the old actors out of retirement to go be wonderful on this show.

My mother broke the wooden spoon she used on us. Over my brother.
*sigh* Good times, good times.

My mother had a piece of balsa wood labeled "dad's helping hand". She broke it on my elbow. (You don't REALLY think I was just going to meekly turn over, do you?)

SQUEEE! Night Court! My gods, I loved that show as a kid... *puts it on 'to-get' list*

Rex is being a bit of a twit, in my opinion. It's obvious Bree wants to do whatever, but isn't very comfortable. You don't start out with a dominatrix video and handcuffs, for pete's sake.
