    You sound like my best buddy of 35 years...she just now got cable :shock:
    We have very little time to watch too and usually DVR a few favorites and fast forward through them.
    Wish I could see some of your British dramas...I think I would dig that alot.
    :lol: Yeah I had cable then I moved house and decided not to get it ... I found when I had cable I watched almost anything now that I have 4 channels I can be much more selective ... but then with only four channels I guess I have no other option :oops: :lol:
    Britain goes entirely digital this summer ... if I don't do something about it I'll lose all channels ... seriously considering giving up the t.v all togther and sticking to dvd's via the computer.
    You should try some British drama's online at http://www.channel4.com :)
    Thats what happened to Carol too the digital thing plus her roomy liked TV...Carol was always busy doing something but I think she has settled into some shows now.

    Thats a cool website...says there is 175 dramas...mmmm where to begin

    Thanks much, I will investigate :D

    Oh I'm a General Hospital fan, the daytime drama
    it's very special ;)

    I watched it as a teen in highschool 40 years ago :shock:
    :lol: I watched General Hospital when I was living in Canada :lol: ... it has been running for 40 years :o man :lol: .... we have a soap drama here called Coronation Street ... I have never watched it but it recently had it's 50th year anniversary,it was hard to miss what was going on there were documentaries about the phenomenon it is ... can you imagine a show running for 50 years ... I think it airs three times a week!

    You know I think GH is coming up on 50 soon. The one here we had just got canned at 50 years, I think.
    GH is awesome. The other day in a matter of a few minutes at the end of the show there was a setting of many different kinds of love played to music ...made me cry it was so lovely. :D

    He is one of my faves. I am a few episodes behind...and trying to catch up! Darn PVR...it just keeps piling them on.

    I need to watch the Vegas episode and the Top 24...then the fun really starts. I love the transformation that occurs from the top 12 on.

    Oh I love that too,
    they say it every year but there really is some great talent there this season.

    next week i think 4 go home ...2 guys and 2 girls to get the top 20...pretty sure

    Casey went to the hospital this week and if he's not better by today I think he has to drop out.
    He is SO talented and the stand up bass...man he just plays it! I hope he stays.

    Another fav for me Scotty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj2Q6vSQHn0 love me that baritone ...
    sweet young man :D

    Enjoy getting caught up and tell me whatcha think :D

    I do not even know if my favourite guys made the cut! I should turn off the computer and start watching!

    Its fun starting to get to know them all!

    For me too it's Casey but sometimes the early favorites...they lose favor. I wish he could have that bass with him...a real connection there to his instrument.

    And Scotty, the baritone smooth old style country singer...mmmmm....what a lovely voice.
    I don't think there has ever been an old school type country singer on AI ...always more popish.
    He is sweet as sweet can be.

    I also like the rocker James Durbin. He is a humble young man. Great voice and stage presence.
    Big heart with a lot of passion.

    Man, Paul McDonald doing Rod Stewart was very different...to the point I really liked him. His voice very unusual and he's just so nice and easy going.

    Wonderful group this year... I'm loving the judges ... which I was not a fan of Steve Tylers but thats changing. He seems thoughtful. Really thinking and caring about the kids. I'm glad he's there ....he's a good fit.

    Girls tonight! I can't remember any rockers? They are my favorites usually.

    I love this! :D

    Yea it was a good first show, some very solid voices.

    I thought the back up singers and band/orchestra was a little overwhelming for some of the voices. But they haven't gotten much voice coaching yet though so maybe they are hiding them some :lol:

    Time to pick your faves even if you aren't caught up! I think 2 guys and 2 girls
    go home Thursday. Girls tonight! :D

    Not sure I have a favourite at the moment. There are some I do not really care for...and quite a few I like. They grow so much as they meet all the weekly challenges, then I usually pick a favourite that I root for. I am excited for the show this year, the talent is so great. In previous seasons these early shows were almost painful to watch, this year not so much pain. Can't wait until tomorrow to see who stays! ;)

    I thought the poor audio mixing was just my TV ;)
    I think they mix it poorly on purpose, because I remember thinking the same thing in the early shows every season!

    It gets hard to see them go as it moves on.

    We don't vote...I tried that once and got very upset when my rocker girl went home pretty early on...
    I thought maybe I brought her bad luck. :lol:
    For me its better to just leave it up to the powers that be.

    I agree lots of talent...most especially the menfolk this year.

    I have a few faves for the ladies...I lean toward rockers and thats not defined this season

    Lauren Turner http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfbnBlPKtjw

    Kendra Chantelle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfgnYS07OBY

    could bring a little rockin though

    Rachel Zevita .....she's the quirky one... different
    not spot on last night doing Fionna Apple's Criminal but good
    I didn't think as bad as the judges made it out to be.

    We'll see tonight :mrgreen:
