Excellent idea for a v-log! Will write more after I've seen the whole thing....

Okey, seen all of it now... *grins* I never bothered to get into the whole degrassi thing, and after this I don't think I will... I was wondereing if I should start watching that murder club thing, but I'm still on the fence on that one. Not that that has anything to do with this, but I've just heard a lot of mixed reviews about, some think it's utter crap and others loved Angie it..  And don't even get me started on Buffy... I'm so glad I own all the Dvd boxes and can watch it anytime I want...

Loving the rants, and this was big fun!

Wow, i love the opening theme, its kinda fancy!

i cant believe Katherine has done that, she could have done anything. i never got into Degrassi and i'm glad i didn't now, Cheers for that, i wont bother downloading it now :)

Love your ranting can't wait for the next!

Okay first off no one rants like a lesbian, I know this statement supports the stereotypical comment about the angry lesbian but lets face it, it's true. lol When a lesbian gets ticked off and rants it's funny. The ability to rant is I believe a predisposed gene that us lesbians are fortunate enough to be born with :)

That being said Sarah and Lori? This video blog ruled. I love it.

Katherine Heigl sponsoring a line of scrubs? For real? Next thing you know Emily Deschanel will be launching her own plastic skeleton brand for all future science class o_O

Sorry but I have absolutely no sympathy for celebrities that screw up and keep screwing up their lives.

This started off my week perfectly ;)

that so looked like showtime's station id (the flashy laser thing). cool!

Is great!

I guessed that "Degrassi" would be number 1.  Do I get a cookie?

Loved your rants, especially about Michelle Rodriguez.  I think she's hot and all, but come on, don't drink for 90 days when you have an alcohol monitoring device attached to your ankle.  It's called common sense.

Woot! on the Faith comic in the background.

I was disappointed with this too, having read james patterson's books i expected a lot but it failed to deliver, i never saw the pilot that u's did but in the book these female characters are far stronger than they have been made out in this first episode, i only hope it will get better.

great vlog though, you cant beat a bit of ranting and raving!

Nice that you made a blog just for ranting.

Palex- Oh. My. God. You hit the nail on the head, they could have gotten Alex off the show so easily by getting accepted to a university out of town.

WMC- I was sad I couldn't fit it into my Friday schedule. Now, not so much.

"Bad jokes are us, ur me."

Well,

Sarah and Lori must be downright "dizzy with power" by now! Jeeez!

Entertaining vlog though! Thanks!

"call me old fashioned but I prefer feminism that leaves a little something to the imagination!"

Have the writers not seen shows such as, oh I don't know, Law and Order and CSI? Both of these shows and their respective spin-offs have successfully - for the most part - given us female characters who are strong, intelligent, and more than competent at their jobs without making us suffer through the Ally McBeal crap (I liked Sarah's categorization of this type of "dumbing down"). Granted, we do get brief glimpses into the personal lives of many of the characters on these shows (i.e. Grissom and Sarah, Catherine's relationship with her daughter and in earlier seasons, her ex-husband, and Jamie on L&O and her divorce), but they do not supplant the characters' primary focus in the workplace.

I watched WMC and was quite disappointed, and after learning of the original focus of the show, I am even more frustrated.

On another note - what the hell Degrassi writers?!!!??!!!

I agree with you both about Degrassi. I sat a my computer for hours and talked to myself about how pissed off I was about that episode. They should have never brought them back together last season if this was how they were going to end them. That had to be the worst episode ever, I am very disappointed in the writers. Although I don't think that was Deanna's last episode. So...?

I think I should start recording my rants to share with everyone. I think people would find them very entertaining.

First: loved the new segment, this is a spin-off that is deff worth watching :)

Second: Scrubs?...Seriously??

Third: what's wrong with Michelle Rodriguez, can she really be that dumb?? I love celebrity gossip but this is getting a little over the top.

Last but not least: I'm glad I never downloaded Degrassi, I hate it when writers destroy lesbian relationships that way (remember The OC?)

you guys have nothing to worry about, though....awesome blog!

"i don't suffer from insanity...i enjoy every minute of it"

Ladies as always you rocked!!!

This was clearly a good idea ;-) keep it up!

"I'm gonna give you all a nice, fun, normal evening even if I have to kill every person on the face of the Earth to do it"

I haven't even watched the vlog yet, and I know I'm gonna love it.

Now we have about one vlog for each day of the week! How great is that?

Fashionable scrubs? I may not yet be working in the medical community but isn't the purpose of scrubs is that it's cheap clothes because blood and other bodily fluids gets on it? I mean they are going to get ruined eventually. When I go to the hospital I want a health care provider who is competent not fashionable. I agree...bad idea.

As for the Buffy musical I went to the one in NYC. It was awesome. I got to bask in my own dorkeyness with my sister. Now fox has viacommed this small group of Buffy fans! Screw you FOX! How I hate Fox and viacom.

Your new vlog is just GREAT, loved it.

I was pretty much sure that degrassi was the #1 of the list, and I couldn't agree more with everything that u've said. I was DISRESPECTFUL to us fans.

I'm still steaming

I'm sure there's a law somewhere that says Mondays can never be normal, regular days. Nope, something HAS to go wrong. It's incredible.

Thank god for people like you guys, that keep working to balance out all the crappy things that Mondays bring! Thanks for this Vlog, it IS a great idea!

Great idea for a vlog Sarah!

Awesome job on the 1st one, too ladies :)

I'm wondering: with 2 vlogs going, will wardrobe selection for you both become a challenge?

You always look good together - no clashing colors, ever!

I find myself distracted and wondering "what will they wear NEXT time????"

Love the rants!

Great idea for a vlog!

I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but there is a petition to bring back the Buffy Musical screenings at www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BuffyMusical. Last time I checked, it had a little over 2500 signatures, so if you haven't signed it already, you should. The more people who sign it, the more likely it is to be successful.

I have to say I really enjoyed the vlog.  I don't know if I'm taking it too seriously, but I did like that it was a slight shift in attitude from the other vlogs (which are great too :)).  Although it had a couple comedic moments, something about you two really caught my attention about the topics you brought up.  It was really insightful, articulate and a great change of pace in my opinion.  Thanks Sarah and Lori. 

"Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from."

Sarah & Lori, thanks for your take on the revamp of WMC. Damn, that bites. You mentioned this briefly, but one thing that really worried me (besides Laura Harris having sex in her office with her boss... gag) was the hint of the old Wise Negro trope. It didn't make me wretch, but it was touch-and-go.

Great new vlog!

the dissolution of Palex was disappointing. That was a poor excuse for a send-off. The whole thing just didn't make any sense. The last season ended with them looking as if everything was going to be ok. How is this an appropriate way to end things? I didn't even see it coming! And when it happened, I was like "okayy? That's odd'. It seemed like the characters took two steps back in their personality. Paige was acting like a bitch, not cutting Alext any slack like usual but i thought they resolved that at the end of the last season! And Alex was so far out of character, it was ridiculous. I'm not even gonna say! God that was sad!

Total and utter disappointment. Poor poor writing. (Ahh, I'm done now)

Glad to see that someone else besides me was pissed about that!! Good blog, ladies.

Don't be a slave to the unavailable!

I totally agree with everything said in the VLOG! Once again you two rock...

As for Degrassi...well I haven't seen the episodes yet (ironic that we're even getting our own shows second hand up here now, here being in Canada). Either way I'm pretty upset about the scenario you described. One of the big things about Degrassi (specially true of the original series which was on during my early teens)...the writers always used to consult their teenaged actors about the storylines to make sure things were coming across as genuine and true to life. Seems like a little success as made them abandon their roots. Sad...SON is no Emmy winner by far, but I doubt they would even chuck Spashley that way.

Looks like all the pressure is gonna be on Cashmere Mafia to provide decent visibility and strong rational female roles this year!! (with being Bionic Sackhoff and Sarah Headey Connor!!)

Thanks again Sarah and Lori...
