Wait, I got it.....a way to bring Medium back.....with a few changes, of course, to appeal to CBS execs and today's audience!

First some remakes of the characters: Allison has to be slutty hot, walking around in 4" heels and low cut tops.

Joe has to be surly and always ready with a sexist comment and really lame jokes.

The girls have to be ill mannered and dress provocatively, hurling insults and demeaning comments to both parents and stupid jokes among themselves.

Then have scripts with absolutely no story line whatsoever; and there has to be lots of juvenile humor involved--the more stupid, the better.

The District Atty and Detective have to be remade with the foregoing character attributes, plus made to sound and look ignorant.

There you have it.....the return of Medium and another hit show!

It occured to me last night while watching Medium about the Friday night line up. Someone said that Friday night was the "death" spot for shows. How can that be? Ghost Whisperer was on for years. Blue Bloods is supposed to be a top hit and it's on Friday night! Medium, CSI:NY, Blue Bloods. Sounds like a strong Friday night line up to me.

Was last night's eppie a shadow of things to come and it going off the air? Allison not letting Joe make the decision of her going back to school for her? Applying anyway? Sounds to me like Joe and Allison are heading for rocky shores.

Good "remake", YNot. That sounds about right.

obviously both the high viewing of two n a half men and the horrible programming choices by networks only supports the theory that unsupervised 10 to 12 yr olds are the target audience and have the most input into programming

Bummer, I work Saturday mornings so I usually stay home on Friday nights, being able to watch that show always made me feel better about it.

Next Friday is the series finale. That's kind of too bad, I have enjoyed watching this series. I say "kind of" because after seeing the real Allison Dubois on the Beverly Hills Housewives, I found myself not enjoying the character on the show last night, knowing that the real one is just the opposite of the charming, nice Allison that Patricia Arquette portrays.

Thanks, Patricia, it was a nice ride. Too bad it really was all fiction.

Just noticed that Blue Bloods is getting moved to Wednesday nights - and wait for this - Fringe moves to Friday nights! Can that mean the kiss of death to Fringe?
