NBC Afraid of Commercial?

I received an email today from T. Boone Pickens that contained an ad he wanted NBC to run. NBC declined the 15 second spot. I think for a mere 15 seconds, the ad says a lot and could inspire our country to do more to become less dependent on foreign oil. This is the ad. See how it feels to you.

Bonnie Hunt Show is Coming September 8th!

I have a lot to look forward to after the Olympics are over. The first thing is that the girls will be going back to school in a couple of weeks and this is the first year I will have the whole school day to myself since my youngest will be in school all day. The second thing I have to look forward to is the premeire of "The Bonnie Hunt Show" on NBC daytime. I have loved Bonnie since the first time I saw her. You might recognize her from the "Beethoven" movies, "The Green Mile", or from her short lived sitcom, "Life With Bonnie." I think she is the funniest, most sincere television personalities out there. She is perhaps even funnier than Ellen DeGeneres. I think the show will be a hoot. She is just a naturally funny person and I love to watch her in action. The show is on NBC and the website is http://www.thebonniehuntshow.com/ if you want to see some funny clips or get tickets to her show. I can't wait for September 8th!

Opening Ceremony Tonight on NBC! Go USA!

Tonight is the night we have been waiting for for the last four years! The opening ceremony for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China begins at 7:30 tonight. At our house, this is a big occasion and I have planned our dinner (pizza) around the event. Everything we are having is food we can eat while watching television. Normally, in our family, the rule is that we sit at the kitchen table with the tv off, and eat dinner together. For the next two weeks, that rule will be a little more relaxed so that we can see all the sporting events. Pretty weird, I know, but I just love the Olympics and want my children to have good memories of them just like I have. Go team USA!
