That's the problem with TV--you have to keep upping the ante with the
storylines, and there are just so many involving the central characters
that will work before the whole thing jumps the shark.

You aren't the only one! I sure hope they aren't going to add Cajun guy

While dancing. Dancing! <big grin>

He dislocated his knee pretty badly, and had to have surgery to put it
right. No laughing matter there.
