Sylph

Dr. Will Kirby's face looks so greasy.

Vicki looks like a mixture between a body builder and a woman-cat.

None of them is sympathetic.

And how fast did Gretchen get drunk?!!

Orange County. They are all blonde?! And so interchangeable?!

It's so trashy. I'm five minutes in, and I don't know if I can watch this. It's repulsive.

I was wondering what's all this work Kim and Kyle seem to have.

Camille is back? Yay!

I love Adele. Though I did laugh when one critic said something like: I hope she experiences something else besides betrayal for her next album.

I am not Rihanna's biggest fan, but yes, those songs are great radio/dance-pop hits.

I don't lake Only Girl. It's nauseating. I momentarily feel sea sick when I hear it. A weirdly mood-killing song.

So, Carl, you are fluent in German?

Look at that...

Robert Redford

Actor and director

"I believe he's a really good person. He's smart. And he does represent what the country needs most now, which is change."

July 2008

"President Obama has certainly done more than any other president to advance clean energy, yet he never seemed to roll up his sleeves, bring lawmakers to the table and work to rally the American public behind it."

July 2010

Angelina Jolie

Actress

"Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay."

November 2008

"How is Obama's approach to Sudan an evolution of justice? And when the administration says it intends to work to 'improve the lives of the people of Darfur', I would like to know what that means, besides the point that their lives could hardly get worse."

December 2009

Maria Shriver

Journalist

"He is about empowering women, African Americans, Latinos, older people, young people. He's about empowering all of us."

February 2008

"While I am confident that Obama never intended to offend anyone [with a joke about the Special Olympics], the response his comments have caused... demonstrates the need to continue to educate the non-disabled community."

March 2009

Spike Lee

Film director

"Everything's going to be affected by this seismic change in the universe."

June 2008

"Before this [Gulf of Mexico] catastrophe, our President was in favour of offshore drilling. And when this thing happened, he backtracked real quick."

August 2010

Lisa looks good:

She said Camille coming back was 50–50, but apparently now it's almost been confirmed.

It's positively hideous. I can agree with everything you've just said. Furthermore, she seems like a wreck, all bloated and weird. Is she up for a flop?

This one is even more pathetic than the previous one.

That is exactly what it is: a mainstream art-house flick. I like that designation.

Do you know whether Evelyn Napier will be back?

Oh, well, we agree on much more than you care to admit.

I'm not really looking forward too much to the whole war & hospital thing, but I have faith.

You are right, Julian Fellowes is too crafty to be writing this juiciness filled with cliches without it all being deliberate and calculated. It's a sort of a 'soaped up' Gosford Park. Was Gosford for you a mainstream piece, even a little bit? I inferred that from you post. I don't really think so, I think it was niche-y, but I'm not saying that in a disparaging way. More like a kind of art-house film or something.

Do you have any other spoilers? Apparently, ITV is doing well with this new team, Norman and Crozier, so more dramas might be on their way.

Don't know where to put it, but Central in London has a soap writing course:

I don't see who's in charge.

I hope people won't be annoyed if I ever watch anymore and post here - I know you've all seen all these already.

Of course they won't. It's always interesting to see differing opinions.

It's original, bellcurve!!! She outdid herself! Shame on you for not getting it! :angry:

:lol:

Well Slyph, obviously you suck at searching on YouTube. Here's Part 1, the rest are easy to find. Now that it's been brought up, maybe I'll take a second look see.

Thank you, Amello!

<span style="font-size:9pt;">If you could suggest or if you know where to find the original 1971, 5-season Upstairs, Downstairs, let me know. I'd like to revisit it.</span>

Selling New York, of which this new show is a spin-off, airs on HGTV.

Apparently, Mauricio will be in Selling Los Angeles.

I won't, Cheap, but I'm not exactly thrilled!

In other news, Camille is CNN's Oscars commentator:
