Seasons Greetings!

Dear My Yahoo Groups,

The new season starts tonight. Yay! This means that for the first time in almost four months you will have something relevant to post. It means you no longer have to fill the time squueeeeeeing over the actors’ ability to successfully use an accent that is not his. We know this is an impressive feat of actorness. We also should keep in mind that other actors have successfully achieved this Herculean task in the past and we should move on to other things show related. “Other Things” do not include endless threads titled "OMG WASN:HE TEH SEX ON LENO!!!111111", because this group is allegedly about the show, not the actor. Please keep this in mind. Don’t make me hunt you down and burn your 144 copies of TV Guide that feature the show/actor/tour of set.

You remember the show, the reason for this group? It is not called "Actor is teh hawt" it’s named after the series. You remember that right? That it’s a TV show that we are talking about here after all. Another gentle reminder, if you want to bash a certain character because she get’s to be the characters girlfriend and you do not, create a Yahoo Group for the bashing and leave this group for discussion of the show. Bonus points if you hate the character and the actor because she’s thinner, blonder, more attractive or successful then you are, fat, brunette and with a “good personality” may be great in real life, but in TV world it renders characters invisible. If you can see the character it is because they are thinner, blonder and prettier then you are. Get Over It. I all ready think you are a loser, don’t prove it to me by preaching about Fat Acceptance. I will send you diet bars.

Speaking of the show, once it has aired, there is no such thing as spoilers for that given episode. If you did not watch the show, do not come to the group until you have done so. Posting bitchy comments about how the episode was "ruined" for you because you “accidentally” read a thread title with a spoiler in it, well it sucks being you. Don’t go online until you have watched the episode. If you gasp! Missed The Episode Entirely, and won’t be able to watch it until whenever, do not post tearful posts begging the rest of the group add 47 rows of spoiler space to each and every post about the episode to protect your sensibilities. It doesn’t matter that all three of your VCRs you had recording the show all died/ran out of tape/were set for the wrong day, and left you bereft - it sucks for you. Please do not badger the group to supply you with a tape or DVD or download of the episode. It will rerun very soon. It will also be recapped at the beginning of the next episode. If you keep begging, I will hunt you down and burn your home made action figures.

Also, this is a group about a TV Show. This is not a place for you to come and try to receive the psychiatric help you need. The group isn’t here to help you through your issues. There are Yahoo Groups dedicated to all forms of mental illness, please do a search and take your problems to the correct group. The Group is also not a forum for you to discuss:

1. Your Kids
2. Your Spouse/Husband/Partner/Room mate
3.Your craft projects
4.Your car problems
5.What You Made For Dinner, what you may make for dinner, what should you make for dinner.
6. Home Improvements you watched on TV and your opinion of same, Home Improvement projects you would do but can’t afford right now because of Un-named responsibility you don’t “feel comfortable discussing here”,(but have, at length, over and over, check the archives under “ Re: Does Anybody else have chronic ear odor?)
7. Your devotion to Clay Akin.


Love,

Me
