To the producers of ABC's "Monday Night Football" I'd give the gift of courage to admit that the Dennis Miller experiment in the booth didn't work. His HBO specials are fine, but his "comedy" during the football games sounds scripted and forced. All of a sudden, Dan Deirdorf isn't looking so bad afterall.
To the producers of "7th Heaven" I'd give the gift of respect. Despite being the highest rated show on the WB the past several seasons, "hip" shows like "Angel" and "Smallville" continue to get all the publicity and promotion from the network.
To the fans of CBS' "JAG" I'd give an episode in which Mac and Harm finally admitted their feelings for each other. The producers have teased viewers far too long. It is time to take this storyline to the next level.
To PAX-TV's "The Ponderosa" (the prequel to the classic western "Bonanza") I'd give some action in their plots. Memo to the producers: this is supposed to be a western. Throw in some gunfights, range wars and bar fights once in a while, won't you? Didn't these people ever watch the original "Bonanza"?
To "Alias," the exciting freshman spy series on ABC, I'd give big ratings. Simply put, this is the best and brightest new series of the season and it deserves a wide audience. If you haven't seen it yet, please give the show a try. It airs Sunday nights at 9 p.m. on ABC.
To the producers of the new CBS series "The Guardian" I'd give a social services consultant. I volunteer with a national organization called Court Appointed Special Advocates. I've been in family court and working with social services personnel quite often. The family court hearings depicted in this series are nothing like they are in real life. There are plenty of compelling, even gut wrenching, stories to tell about social services cases and "The Guardian" deserves credit for exploring them. It would be even better if the producers could be more realistic, however.
