I just got an email from A&E saying this show runs again beginning tonight. I went to the site and did not see a definative answer as to whether it is over now or being rerun in addition to it continuing. Anyone know.

Not sure Aus...but tonight's episodes are repeats (I think) of earlier episodes. They sound familiar...the one where Shonna has to ready a body in a half hour and then Chuck oversleeping.

Lori thanks for posting that tid-bit. I to thought the DTV description sounded familiar. Now I can check out Colonial House.

I just love Chuck!! He seems to care about not only his daughters but Jon/John as well. Melissa {the one who dates Rich} seems to come across at times to be really into herself. I could not believe she really felt her hair appointment was more important than getting her Niece and Nephew. Sure she did get them... but if I had told my sister I would pick them up....traffic or no traffic..... I would NEVER have phoned to see if someone else could do it...because it might have made me late to get my hair done.

Shonna was the only one I recall seeing on todays episode that had a smoke. {That doesn't mean the others didn't... but I was bouncing back and forth between this, Swan and Colonial house....what a busy night.}

I'm pretty sure the youngest sister was outside having a smoke while she was talking about the problems w/her husband. Anyway, she was out WHERE they smoke! No tape to check it with.

I'm glad I looked that the TV section and checked it at 9pm. It had already started and at first, I was wondering if it was a new episode, since they had shown the sisters going out after work once before.

I don't think the Melissa came off looking well, either. Even though the show was interesting, I'm not sure the main focus being on their personal lives/marital problems, fit all that well. If it had been more of the side story, perhaps. While a lot of it occurred while they were there, there wasn't that much of the program focused on the job. I almost felt uncomfortable a bit hearing the sisters, esp. the youngest, talk to and about her husband. If there were marital problems due to their jobs, it would have made more fitting to me, but it was more about the girls going out w/o them.

Chuck does seem like a big ole softy and he hasn't come off as crude and clueless as in earlier episodes.

Well Melissa got hers when the boy told her she was ugly! lol..I felt so embarrassed for her, poor thing, she must have been horrified knowing the camera was rolling. Did anyone notice she reached for her glasses when he told her her eyemakeup was ugly?

Chuck is a great guy. I loved how the sisters fought and then quickly let it go.

I really like this family, they make me want to move to San Diego when I am ready to die.

Insider report:

Girl's Night Out - I feel kinda useless posting on this episode. While we did get to know the girls better in this episode (which was nice), the funeral business side was kind of put on the back burner. Shauna definitely needs a night out...that lady works! And works hard. Four bodies to prep, time to go do a removal, and still had energy to go out. Wow!

First calls: While this was touched on briefly during the show, I've got to say I agree with David (if I recall correctly), that the first five minutes of a first call is soooo important. Imagine if you will....standing with friends or family at the funeral home during a visitation or service. Do you always know just exactly what to say? Or do you feel like your just rambling words, saying what you think you should say? Now...imagine being a total stranger and trying to do the same thing. I think I come off sounding in-sincere. And when a family calls, that's the last thing you want to be seen as....in-sincere. It's tough...let me tell ya. You want to do your job, but you also want to let the family know you care.

Now, I've never been on a home removal. The embalmers/directors did that. But I can tell you....some of the stories they tell. Staircases that are unaccessable by the gurney, people who wanted to ride on the gurney with their loved one, uncompromising situations, and for lack of a more tactful way of putting it....family members who were just plain "weird!" I think you ask any mortician and they'll tell you that they prefer a clinical removal over a home removal any day of the week. It's definitely one of the most "surprising" aspects of funeral directing. It rates right up there with odd funeral traditions. I'll tell you those when we've covered them in our next family plots class.....:-)

Riding on the gurney got me, too! Add me as a fan of your inputs Aus!

Pamy, Wow you remember me from BB feeds?! What year did you start? I think I lurked most of Season 2, but then figured I'd take the plunge w/season 3. I always have admired the people who can get most of the conversations. I can do transcription, but doing BB is lacking one big factor - the backup pedal! LOL :-) I saw a promo for this summer. Let the games begin! :-)

I started lurking during Will's season (2??)
I started posting after 9-11, I think you must have done some in season 2.

LOL backup pedal!

Shouldn't I remember if I had posted some in season 2 since it's no longer considered "short term memory?!" LOL Now that you mention 9/11, I do believe I DID post some. I remember all of us wondering why they didn't notice any planes going overhead AT ALL. Gives me the shivers just thinking about it.

Wouldn't it be a riot to see Chuck in the BB house this summer?
