Gee, think Patricia Arquette's weight had anything to do with the axing of "Medium?"

Ah, c'mon, I like Patricia Arquette.

But it's guaranteed - if I watch a TV show, it gets cancelled. Okay, maybe Medium has been around for 5 years but I don't think NBC bouncing it around the schedule helped much this season.

NBC honchos insist the show has no fans, etc. etc., but I don't buy that. It sure looks like weight discrimination against Arquette? She's been fighting with skinny-obsessed studio execs for years - and they finally won. I guess they didn't think it was believable a mother of three would look as if she actually eats meals with her kids. 

First I lost "Intelligence" and now this. When "Fringe" goes, that's it for me for regular TV schedules. (I know, I'm way behind most of the population who eschewed TV schedules long ago.) I'll do all my watching by buying full seasons of series like, "The Wire" and "Damage."

Been doing a lot of flying lately, so I've seen too many bad movies. However, I can recommend, "I've Loved You So Long," with Kirstin Scott Thomas. It's in French with English subtitles. I loved it, but then I didn't see it on a plane.
