Pizza?
You can't eat flowers, it's the more practical apologetic gift.
You have a lot to learn.


I feel strange saying it, but I think Everwood on the WB is one of the best shows on TV right now. It's a little homey, and tends to simplify complicated problems (what TV doesn't?) but it at least tries to add some moral complexity into hard problems. Plus it doesn't play it safe - the show ventures into hard areas and doesn't take formula exits from them. This allows it a couple of things: It isn't predictable (like the wonderfully guilty pleasure The OC) and more importantantly it allows for some real character development. There are tensions in the relationships that carry over to the audience because we don't already know what will happen, we can share in that tension instead of knowing the plot will go where the formula requires it to. It's good tv and if you like family drama's at all you should tune in - Monday nights at 9pm.
