big stars on tv

Today my dog, Marilyn, turned on the tv. Then she changed the channel from yoga to Magnum P.I. I guess she likes Tom Selleck. The bad guy on the show was Ted Danson, who met his maker by having a boat back over him. Magnum even shouted, "Yo! Ted! Look out!"

But it was too late. The boat ran him over.

This got me to thinking about what I would do in that situation. If I was in the water and a boat was going to back over me, I think I would try to dive down as low as I could to avoid the boaty things tearing me to shreads. Pehaps that wouldn't help though, because Ted Danson probably would have tried that, too.

If I was on the other side of that situation, in Tom Selleck's shoes, I don't know if I could have told Ted to watch out. I mean, the guy just threatened him with a gun and then some big metal hook deal (I think it's known as an "anchor" to people who hang in the boating circles)

The other day I saw that Lifetime has started playing the episodes of the Golden Girls where Blanche, Rose, and Sophia bought a hotel. Bea Arthur had left the show at that time and was replaced by Cheech Marin and Don Cheadle. Talk about star power! Why did the show end soon after they came on? In yesterday's episode Dorothy came back and wanted Sophia to come live with her, and then Sophia ran away and checked herself back into Shady Pines. Nobody knew where she went until the taxi driver (Jack Black!) came to the hotel to return Sophia's purse.
