If you don't mind watching online... Hulu has all ten episodes of the PBS series Carrier available online.

I hadn't heard of the show until a Hulu popup recommended it based on other shows I've watched. I ended up watching the entire series over two days. The series takes place on the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, attempting to shine a light on shipboard life for the 5,000 people on a six month deployment. I thought the series was really well done, attempting to show people at all levels of the Naval hierarchy, in all different types of roles, in all different parts of the ship. It was interesting to see all of the moving parts that come together for a ship of that size to function in an orderly fashion. The series takes place over the course of a six month deployment that took them to Japan, Guam, the middle east, Guam, Australia, Bahrain, Pearl Harbor and back to San Diego.

Good show, interesting, nicely produced -- available online only.

Canadians - starting next Saturday (Sept 11th) on Slice - Real Housewives of DC, NY - Season 3 and NJ - Season 2 I think it will be a little overkill to watch all in one go, thank goodness for a PVR. As well Season 3 of Shear Genius is replaying if you missed it. Season 3 of Tori and Dean, not sure if this is new. Season 3 of Millionaire Matchmaker as well. Premiere of something called Princess, new season of Love Inc.

Keeping an eye out for Project Runway Season 8 to start as well.

E! is doing a reality show where soon-to-be brides compete in wedding-themed challenges. The twist? The winner of each challenge gets to have a plastic surgery operation of her choice- the show is called "Bridalplasty"...

"Raising Sextuplets" star arrested:

http://www.popeater.com/2010/09/20/raising-sextuplets-brian-masche-arrested/?icid=main%7Cmain%7Cdl2%7Csec1_lnk3%7C171579

Reality show dad Bryan Masche was arrested in Camp Verde Saturday and charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and threatening domestic violence.

The arrest was made after 'Raising Sextuplets' star allegedly threatened his family and began yelling profanities, E! Online reports. A call was made to 911, and the investigation escalated when he did not comply with the deputies' requests.

He was taken into custody at the Yavapi County Detention Center and subsequently released on $3,500 bond.

It is not known whether Masche's wife and TV costar, Jenny, was involved in the incident. Masche is the father of Arizona's second-only set of sextuplets, born three years ago. The family currently lives in Florida and star on a WE reality show.

Back in 2009, Bryan and Jenny admitted that raising six young children was difficult and caused a lot of tension between them. "We have totally brutal fights," Jenny told PEOPLE.

The couple were a "work in progress" and hoped to work through their marital problems. "When you understand that there's no way out of marriage, that forces you to work on your marriage," Bryan added.



JMO, but I never liked this father. Seemed VERY lazy and selfish.

I posted this in the Quints by Surprise thread yesterday, only because Scout and I had been talking about him. It was hard watching him because you could see he had issues.

Sorry, never saw your post in the other thread. We definitely have too many shows about multiples, don't we?

We really do! When we were young, it was quite the big thing to even know someone who was a twin and now it's the norm to have more than triplets!

I predict the next new TLC show will feature a family of little people raising multiples that they enter in pageants, with a father that makes cakes and a mom that works for Kat Von D.

LOL Kellirippa!

I am sorry to hear about the Raising Sextuplets dad but I am not surprised.

I was always around twins - my older sisters, I was friends with twins in gradeschool/brownies, and in HS became friends with male twins -my DH's best friends and one of them is my son's godfather! My cuz also has boy/girl twins!

Did you see his mugshot? Masche has a full-on grin. What a father figure for his kids.

Heard a bit of the 911 tape from Masche's FIL to the police. Sounds like Masche had all these guns in his van. I think he said for hunting, but they weren't hunting guns. The dad sounded terrified of what Brian was going to do.
You know, even on the show, we've seen him act abusive to not only his wife and kids, but to his in-laws. On one episode, he was wanting to leave and jerked two of his kids away from his MIL so hard, you could just see her cringe.
It seems like the whole family is used to walking on eggshells around him. You have to wonder if he acts that bad with the cameras on him, what he is capable of when they're not there.

And on that same note, anyone else watch Teen Mom and think that the level of abuse is horrifying? The way Catelynn's mom speaks to her is so sad, and Amber? There's no words to describe her.

Scout, I so agree about Teen Mom. I know that Amber's boyfriend is really no prize but she is very abusive to him. And Catelynn's mom has her own issues. I think there is some kind of addiction there, not that I know for sure but it sure seems so. And Farrah and her mom have a whole lot of issues as well. I see Farrah being the same way with Sophia as her mom is with her.

I initially believed that Teen Mom had good educational value. However....without an ongoing, public counseling component for all parties, I'm beginning to wonder. Amber should not be allowed to put her hands on the boyfriend without immediate consequences viewed by all. She is an unfit "mother" with no redeeming motherly qualities. Catelynn and her siblings should not be exposed to the constant ridicule and cigarette smoke in that home either. Unfortunately, this show is probably indicative of way too many homes in America.

I watched the abuse episode on Teen Mom, and couldn't believe that Amber got away with smacking Gary. He had bruises on his face when they showed him driving off in his van. Why is Amber not in jail right now is beyond me.

Big Bliss...Say Yes to a Big Dress... really? really TLC? Really?
Is that entertainment now? What's next, say yes to a manly dress, Say yes to a little person dress? How about Anorexic Women trying on wedding dresses? Sister Wives saying yes to a bunch of dresses..
Oh TLC... that used to stand for The LEARNING channel, did it not?
