According to Reuters- “President Barack Obama has apologized for a gaffe in which he described his bowling skills as akin to participants in the Special Olympics, a sports program for people with intellectual disabilities.”

Are you wondering what I am wondering? Is Obama going to be the late night humor replacement for the ever so intelligent President George Bush? I hope not, I like Obama and want to continue my ever so yummy love affair with him (don’t let him know, it will spoil the fun).

So the story goes like this, while being interviewed by the charming Jay Leno, Obama describes his bowling skills as such, “It’s like — it was like Special Olympics or something,”. I guess his PR folks didn’t prep him before hand.

Now Obama did apologize - but you know what they say about hindsight, ” You should never need it”.

While doing a little late night channel surfing I happened upon reruns of a show from the 70’s, “Love, American Style”. Now I am not sure if you have ever heard of it or watched it - but I have to tell you, I laughed and laughed until my sides hurt, and still couldn’t stop laughing. Even now, while writing about it, I am chuckling to myself.

“Love, American Style” premiered September 29, 1969 and was
a compilation of vignettes filled with the perils of relationships, love and yes, that very dirty, dirty word…..you know the one “SEX”

I think with a little promotion “Love, American Style” could be an instant pop-cultural hit. So how about it T.V Land….how about a little “Love, American Style” rehash?

Sunday nights will never be the same. - Airing on Showcase at 10 PM, “United States of Tara” is a must-see for anyone who is juggling the many faces of being a woman (isn’t it all of us girls?)

Okay, so Tara is a suburban wife and mother of two, who just happens to have  Dissociative Identity Disorder. When life’s little stresses get to be too much for Tara, one of  her alternative personalities comes to the rescue.

In the opening pilot we meet “T”, a spunky 15 year old who takes over for Tara when Tara finds a prescription for the morning-after-pill in her daughter Kate’s things. Later “T” tries to seduce Max, Tara’s husband whose conscience will not allow him to accept the offer - Oh, and he has promised not to take advantage of Tara’s alter egos.

I like “T” and cannot wait to see more antics she will  undoubtfully get up to.

We also get to meet “Buck”, a gun-loving, ultra redneck, male, who surfaces after Tara witnesses Kate arguing with her goth boyfriend - I wonder what Tara’s husband Max, thinks about Buck

Who knew suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder could be so much fun - visit back next week to read the “dish” on episode 2

Family Guy has to be one of the funniest, wittiest shows on TV.  I’d never really watched a full episode until recently, and now I’m hooked.

You have to pay close attention, though, or you’ll miss half the humor–there are so many little things thrown in that are pretty clever.

Check it out if you’re looking for a laugh, even if it is at the expense of Rhode Islanders!
