Calling Rick Berman

Lenore and I could use a new good TV show. We were just lamenting this last night. It has been a while since we had a show we liked to watch. We can remember being big ER fans for some time. But, that has been unwatchable for at least a couple of years. We were big X-Philes for a while. But, then they jumped the shark by giving Scully ample proof every week to believe in UFO's and she continued to disbelieve!!!!! They needed to steer away from that one note song. One of our favorite episodes was "Bad Blood" with Luke Wilson. Loved it.
We have recently kinda stopped watching CSI religiously. No reason really comes to mind. I never really liked the spin-offs. William Petersen is great. But, CSI Miami????? I have a congenital aversion to David Caruso. (Did you catch the Parade Magazine on Sunday? Walter Scott’s Personality Parade® - Q. Is there a reason why David Caruso tilts his head and talks hesitantly on CSI: Miami? —Jan L., Saginaw, Mich. - A. Yes. It’s called acting. They aren't usually so flip with their answers. But, lo and behold they were running a feature on David Caruso in the same issue. "It’s called acting????" Puhleeze, it's called still smarting from my appearance in "First Blood." William Petersen is your Great Great Great Great Grandfather as far as acting is concerned.)
Our best run really was with the Star Trek Next Generation spin-offs. For some strange reason we never picked up on Next Generation itself. But we really went in for DS9 and Voyager and to a slightly lesser degree Enterprise. We loved Terry Farrell and Avery Brooks and the character of Odo. And, ooh the Jem Hadar and their dependence on the Ketracel White. And also, Kate Mulgrew, Robert Beltran, Tim Russ, Ethan Phillips, Robert Picardo and Jeri Ryan from Voyager. And of course, let's not forget Jolene Blalock in Enterprise,...:) I guess we need Rick Berman to put together some more shows for us.
