[CharmingP4]

Starring: Lori Laughlin (Full House, Secret Admirer, Back To The Beach), Shawn Christian (One Life To Live, As The World Turns, Charmed: Josh, Is There Woogy In The House. When Bad Warlocks Go Good), Merrin Dungey (Alias: Francie, King Of Queens: Kelly Palmer), Ryan Kwanten (The Junction Boys, Home And Away), Jessie McCartney (Dream Street, Law&Order, All My Children), Kay Panabaker, Nick Benson, Taylor Cole.


A young woman (Laughlin) with three roomates and a beautiful beach house in California, getting into her own clothing line, suddenly becomes a legal gardian for her sisters 3 children. She and her housemates are immidiately thrown into parenthood, with no idea how to do it. The children Derrick (8), Nikki (12), and Bradin (16) cope with loosing their parents and moving across the country...plus all the normal age appropriate life events.


Okay, after the premere episode i was unsure. It could be almost summed up as a TV verson of Raising Helen...but so different too. I have come to like it now that I have seen two episodes. Lori Lauchlin is of course, fabulous, but no where near squeeky clean as her previous role as Aunt Becky. The kids are wonderful as well. They are really playing their roles well. WHile the show started off sad, it seems to be picking up. The issue of the parents death is far from over, but they do not harp on it, which is good. This show has excellent startings and we'll hafta see how it goes!!

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Starring everyone's favorite carpenter from TLC's Trading Spaces, Ty Pennington. Ty hosts this home makeover show on ABC Sundays at 8pm (And since most of us are otherwise occupied at this hour, sometimes you can catch reruns at 7pm ABC Sundays). Ty and his crew of desingers and carpenters, remodel homes of very deserving families, and help their dreams come true. During the week that their home is being redone, the family is sent on a perfect family vacation. Be forewarned, every episode of this show is garrunteed to make you CRY! Great show!!

Desperate Housewives
Starring: Eva Longoria (L.A. Dragnet, The Young and the Restless); Andrea Bowen; Teri Hatcher (Lois and Clark: The Adventures Of Superman); Felicity Huffman; Nicolette Sheridan (Knots Landing); Brenda Strong; Emily Christine; and Marcia Cross (Everwood, Melrose Place, One Life To Live)

Sundays at 9 on ABC

The motto of the show is that everyone has dirty laundry. The show is about a typical suburb community and the families in it (all of which are a bit above middle class). And all of the families seem perfect on the outside, but of course are far from it. In fact, they are very messed up. There are too many stories to summerize every cast member, but it is very easy to catch onto. The main part of the show is that one neighbor woman commited suicide in the begining of the series and the other women on the block are very suspicious about what her husband is now up to after her death and wonder if it really was a suicide. The show is easy to get sucked into, what with double-crossing, adultry, affairs, craized mother in laws, divorce, jealousy, and of course competing for the same man.

I missed the first several episdoes of this show, but once I started watching it I was hooked and watch it whenever I can. It's a guilty pleasure for sure. I adore it and the actresses/actors are amaizing.
