I boycotted Snapple when they were sponsors for Howard Stern way back when. And I like Melissa. She deserved better and now she's getting it. And I don't care one way or the other about Kate being on the show. There are plenty of dancers to go around for all tastes as far as I'm concerned. If I could hang in there with Evel Dick, Natalie from last BB and Russell both last season and this, I think I can manage most anyone.

Brenda-I felt that way about watching Friends, too. I watched it in the beginning years then tapered off, now I can't even watch the reruns!

Alot of shows don't hold up when you watch them as reruns. For example, I loved Mad About You when it was on. The reruns, not so much.

Melissa's claim to fame is she was jilted on national TV. Had that not happened, she wouldn't have been on DWTS, or anything else she's been on. (Note it's all ABC btw, she has no claim to fame anywhere else.) I loved Mad About You. It did lose a bit of the luster after the fifth or sixth viewing of a show. Except for the episode where their dog kept running down the hall in the background, and crashing into the wall. I still crack up thinking about that ep. I boycotted grapes, way back in the 70's. And still don't drink that wine (can't remember, was it Gallo? not a great wine anyways). And I'm boycotting. Last season, I halfheartedly watched. This season, there are far more than just 1 "star" that I find distasteful, and boycotting makes more of a statement. DWTS got dreadful reviews last season, no matter the ratings, btw.

The Beverly Hillbillies is WAY funnier now than when I used to watch it. I don't know why, but I can't pass it up when it's on!

Beverly Hillbillies is hilarious! I Love Lucy cracks me up, still. The Andy Griffith Show, the Dick Van D y k e Show and Leave it to Beaver hold up pretty well in the hilarity department, too! I loved Bewitched and I dream of Jeannie when I was a kid, but they don't seem too funny on reruns.

I think the "classics" totally withstand the test of time. And as you get older, you can really catch some of the subtleties of the humor. I know some jokes were way over my head when I was in my teens!

Lucy and MASH mostly stand the test of time. I can still burst into tears when the whole cast goes to cheer up Father Mulcahey and they sing Dona Nobis Pacem (on NYEve or Christmas Eve in the middle of the Korean war). Only boycotts I have going currently are Carl's Jr for the ads and Woody Allen and Roman Polanski. At least those come to mind. ======= I liked Melissa.

Right now I am boycotting Jack in the Box because of an ad they were running, and I agree about Woody Allen and Roman Polanski. I would boycott Frank's hot sauce because of their current radio spots but I never ate it anyway.

I boycott pretty much anything to do with Mel Gibson, even if its on TV. I loathe Mel Gibson with a 'passion'.

Mame, I only feel sort of that way about one person, Rush Limbaugh. Not because of his stand on things, it's his know-it-all personality. His pontifications make me want to tear my hair out. To speak the way he does he should be able to walk on water.

OG, I agree, I think Rush Limbaugh is a pompous windbag.

For a second I thought I'd hit the wrong thread and wandered into the political forum. I usually avoid those like the plague. Back to the show, I just got a look at those promo photos and was happy to see Ashly is returning. Where did Damian Whitewood come from, and why does he look so frightened by Pamela Anderson? So many of these pros are so much younger than their celebrity partners.

I wait with anticipation for our talented mods to make our banner with the pics. I do hope that Damian is a tall man, lol!

Yey, pretty banner!! Thank you banner mod! Shannen and Mark's pic doesn't see very dancey - more like they're dating.
