  Cable, dramas, women and excellent acting and writing!

  Hey, Rebecca, I can't remember when I have had more wonderful Mondays than this past July and August. Strong, middle aged amazing women with flaws have had kick-ass roles backed by interesting males with flaws as well. The writing has been mostly great! You do have to pay attention or you miss something hysterically funny or profound!

  The stuff you are talking about for fall doesn't interest me one iota! I want strong female and male charactors who are real and facing life's real problems from the top or from the bottom. I don't need fantasy, I crave real drama and studies of reality. I want to see the old, middle aged and young drag themselves through life and try to get it right this time or the next time.

  I want some maturity, people mostly dressed, less mindless sex and violence and more relationships. I am sick to death of superficiality. I think my new venue for entertainment will be mostly cable. I seldom watch network anyhow. May have to wait until next July since summer is their time to blossom.

  I also want fewer commercials that interrupt the flow, even if the remaining commercials have to be longer and more actors of a certain age starring in quality vehicles on cable dramas. Men seem to show up but women are but in the freezer when a wrinkle appears. PLEASE put these women to work. They are a blessing!!!
