Better than Animal Planet

We've all been watching the West Wing, episode by episode, since the very first month Husband and I started dating*.

We love them.  Not is the show smart and honorable, but full of the fascinating details about government that I never even realized that I wanted to know.  And oddly enough, right now we're now in Season Five, which are the ones featuring the Isreali/Palestinian conflict. 

Afterwards, we had a family discussion about the current situation in Gaza.

*Lillie missed the first few months, but we quickly got her up to speed.

East ending

A British show called EastEnders is on right now. It's some kind of BBC soap-opera show that I've been hearing about for years.

So when it followed one of the news shows I keep on in the morning, I didn't change channels. It's been on in the background while I have been meandering about doing whatever it is I do during the day.

But I am constantly jumping because it will be semi-quiet for a while; then the characters will suddenly yell mean things at each other.

Must change channels. It's much too dramatic for me.
