So we're watching Larry King before turning the bedside lamp off, and there's Donny and Marie Osmond. Excuse me? Did I just hear him tell Larry King that he's a grandfather? Husband and I both look at one another and say, "We're old." Dear Lord... wasn't it only yesterday that we were singing "Go Away Little Girl" and "Puppy Love," hanging our Tiger Beat posters of him on the wall, and only wearing purple socks in his honor? I mean, it seemed to take years for his voice to even change, right? Now, he's a grandfather at 47? Got me to thinking about those guys we were crazy for oh, so many years ago....
Did anyone else watch Here Come the Brides? Oh, how we swooned over Jeremy Bolt, played by Bobby Sherman. What a hottie, before we even knew what a hottie was. Speaking of hotties, remember watching Davy Jones with The Monkees? Another favorite was Big Valley with Lee Majors as Heath Cartwright, the blond, hunky, and moody cowboy. We wanted to tame him, all the while wishing we looked like his sister Audra (Linda Evans), coming down that winding staircase each episode. Later, it was on to Medical Center and wishing Chad Everett (as Dr. Joe Gannon) was our personal physician. Those were the days...
These days? Um.... after seeing Meredith with Dr. McDreamy Monday night... I'm needing cold showers. I almost wore out the TiVo on that one scene...sigh.. what will she do? Those who have not, really need to tune into Grey's Anatomy in the fall.

OK I love Grey's Anatomy, but I was rooting for the vet. I loved that Mer dould say to Addison "Not after I knew he was married" when she was asked if she was sleeping with McDreamy. Now she has crossed the line. I think that she was getting close in a real way to the vet and had to sexually act out to push him away...and McDreamy? He takes his wife to the dance, affirming that they are starting again after he sees her true pain and then shags Mer? And then publically "claims" her in front of everyone including his wife who is in obvious distress? He and his adultery just irked me. What a mess.
But the loss of Denny Douquette? Now I wept tears for that one. Sigh. And could Sandra Oh's acting be any more magnificent than the scene in the Chief's office ("Tell me how you do this?")
Personally I think Meredith will turn and walk away from both. Or at least that's my hope--that she'll recognize that acknowledging anything more than uncertainty would be a sign of maturity. But hey, this is television, anything can happen!
As for Donny, Bobby Sherman (I never did catch on with David Cassidy), et al, yes, those were the days! A friend and I were so enamored with Jeremy Bolt that we made up our own stories for episodes of "Here Come the Brides." And then, of course, was my favorite series of that era, "The Young Rebels," which never made it past its initial 14 episodes (and I even have some of them on tape!). I guess youthful avengers in the name of Patriotism during the American Revolution was a bit before its time! Heehee! My friend and I wrote scripts for those shows, too, but that is so much another story...
Purple socks, I'd forgotten about those. He loved dogs, too. (wink)
David Cassidy! How could I forget Keith Partridge and "I Think I Love You????" :c)
Not sure what Mer will do, but I do hope she won't string Finn along. He's way to vulnerable and will be really hurt. On the other hand, Derrick has been such a poop head about all of this... what a mess.
