Las Vegas

Hi friends, 

The title of this blog may be a bit deceiving. While I have visited the city of Las Vegas several times (my sister used to live there!), this blog is instead about the TV show, "Las Vegas." 

It's a program that used to be on NBC on Friday nights and was pulled off the air on Feb. 15, 2008. I really got hooked while it was on. (I think it started in 2003.) But life got really crazy and I couldn't keep up with it. 

It turns out that TNT is showing two episodes each weekday morning in reruns. In October, I set the DVR to record and I was catching up on the program when time allowed. One night, Chuck started watching with me and soon it turned into one of our nightly rituals. It was an hour of quiet time for us to snuggle close on the couch. I really looked forward to that hour. It was a nice way to wind down. Mind you, this is not any kind of heavy program ... more just mindless TV with an interesting plot line. 

So last week we were finally at the last episode ... this was not the season finale or anything ... NBC stopped the show mid-season. However, it was getting really good. In the final episode there were three weddings about to happen, one funeral and loads of question about who actually owned the Montecito (the hotel the entire show is based around). And what happens in the final episode? 

WE DON'T KNOW! Not only did NBC pull the plug mid season ... the final episode actually says, "To be continued." That's right. They left us hanging without any idea of what actually happened to anyone. 

*sigh* 

I know there are a lot of things going on in the world today, and I should probably be blogging about something so much more important. The truth is, Chuck and I were both really disappointed. I mean, "To be continued ..." on the final episode? Couldn't they have made just one more so we'd know what actually happened? 

Okay, rant over. : )
