1. Come on now, am I really the only one enjoying this campy series?

its great....

2. Did they have a wedding story on there a month ago?

The one with the blonde "self-made" millionaire in the nutrition business who ran her 35 year old daughter's wedding? She even officiated? Was that on Sheer Dallas?

(I lived there from 1988 to 1993.)

3. yep... that's the one!

The people they are profiling are sure larger than life characters! I wonder how they found some of them; and all in one place!

4. I have a morbid fascination for those people.

How about that real estate sales lady who puts her dog on his own treadmill when she exercises. And she tucks $2 in his collar for the doorman to let him out to go do his business.

5. I must say that I thought that was the cutest thing I had seen in a long

time! That dog on the treadmill was too cute. When she turned it off, he even slid to the back of the machine and got off! and the $2 in his collar for the doorman downstairs was entirely too much! The real estate lady herself is something else, huh? a larger than life character!

Steve, the party planner, is also on 'Whose Wedding Is It Anyway'. Have you seen that?

I also loved the episode where the restauranteur's wife wrote a movie screenplay, and got to pitch it to bigwigs in Hollywood. She was a hoot, because her whole life was wrapped up in her script about a woman who is in love with David Letterman. She actually had one of the best lines of the whole series so far. At the end of her episode, she was talking about having a passion for something in your life. She says, 'You need to have passion in your life, and if you don't have a passion, MAKE ONE UP!' I thought that was fabulous...

6. Yup. I've seen all of them.

Or, maybe I should say that after watching those (definitely!) bigger-than-life Texas characters:
I HAVE NOW SEEN IT ALL. What a hoot they are. The show is worth watching just for the clothes. Where are Stacy and Clinton when you need them? I'm sure if they were in Texas, they wouldn't even let Steve out of the house. And the screenplay writer - did you see the shoes? Lime green, right? How about that car she rented? Wow. She sure has passion - she's like a walking testimonial to self-help books.

Fun fun fun!
