And I love Calista Flockheart.

The episodes about her brother being in the Army and getting stop-lossed really hit home. :cry:

Does this make me a bad person? :(

1. Boycotting ABC?
Guess I missed that one. And if watching ABC makes me a bad person then so-be-it because there is nothing that'll keep me from Alan Shore, Shirley Schmidt and Denny Crane on Tuesday nights. I ADORE Boston Legal.

7. I'm watching "Ugly Betty" religiously.
I'm not giving up one of the best written, best cast, best shows on the air period.

I'm not a bad person under any circumstances.

8. The boycott is LAME
Unless you're one of the few who are a Nielsen subscriber, you accomplish nothing by boycotting (except maybe a smug satisfaction).

It's not like ABC "knows" what channel you're watching. And you're not hurting ABC's profits one iota by boycotting.

So why bother? :shrug:

If you want to have real impact, write to their advertisers. But for crissakes don't boycott.

9. Why not boycott ABC sponsors instead?
I only watch one ABC show -- "Desperate Housewives."

10. Brothers and Sisters is a great program.
Sally Field, Rachel Griffiths...the whole cast is wonderful.

We've cried at almost every episode. We're suckers that way.

11. The ABC boycott has always made ZERO sense.
Unless you're a Neilsen household, it doesn't matter.
