In my early twenties, I remember being at some sort of a party - a BBQ perhaps? A dinner party? I can't be sure. While the details of the party are a hazy mystery, I do recall the conversation, which stunned me."I can't wait," my friend Janet said, "for the fall television lineup. I have it all planned out." She then went on to list which shows she was watching, the times and channels. As it was ten years ago, I cannot quite recall what they were. But I do remember both her excitement and conviction.

Close To Home: Why I'm Still Thinking About "Homeland"

Upon learning that Showtime (which is home to two of my favorite shows - Dexter and Weeds) had developed a dramatic series about domestic terrorism, I was intrigued.

"House, M.D." Is Cancelled. Somehow Life Will Go On. Somehow.

House, M.D.

Oh Lindsey Lohan. What's Become of You, Girl?

Oh Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay. No, I'm not trying to channel my inner Jan Brady here, I just wanted to take a moment to sound maternal. I mean, if anyone could use a mother, it's you.

About Me: 

A former nurse with a penchant for tomfoolery and mischief, Becky Sherrick Harks rocks the suburbs and raises her three children, Alex, Ben and Amelia. Or maybe they raise her, no one knows for sure. She uses her medical knowledge to feel smugly superior to television hospital dramas and lives an elaborate fantasy life married to her televison husbands. It's not perhaps the life she envisioned for herself, but she's happy. Also: if she had a camel, she'd name it Stampy. Wouldn't you?
