"Guinness" is on Tuesday nights on Fox.It is a disgusting show that I regret watching.The producers seem to show the sickest records.There is nothing wrong with the book,and it's an honor to be in it,for the most part.The program,however,doesn't show the record for the person who lifted the most weight.Instead,they show the person who lifted 30 pounds with his ears and tongue,which was truly disgusting.Television can do without a show like this.

"Saturday Night Live" is not the same show that it once was.Now the weekly comedy show struggles to come up with a single funny scene.Despite the good acting and the interesting hosts,the humor is simply not there.As the ratings continue to drop,the show must find a solution to its growing problem of lack of funny material.Until then,it will probably get worse."Saturday Night Live" can be seen on NBC on Saturday nights from 11:30 p.m-1.00 a.m.

"The Wayans Bros.",an exciting comedy starring Shawn and Marion Wayans,airs every Wednesday at 9:00 p.m.In the show,Shawn and Marion play brothers who live together and own a news stand.Shawn,the smooth-talking one of the two,and Marion,the younger brother who is forever acting like a five-year-old,seem to have a conflict every week,but always resolve it with a brotherly hug.

"Gilmore Girls",now in its seventh (and final) season,is an amazing television show that follows the lives of the mother/daughter team of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore.Lorelai got pregnant with Rory at the age of 16 and decided to move out of Hartford,Connecticut,to seek refuge in a small town nearby.She and Rory have a close relationship and share everything.

We've all been blamed (責(zé)備) wrongly sometimes in our lives. How do we deal with it? Not with anger, hurt and tears, but in a collected way…

●If you've been in trouble before, it may be easy for people to doubt you. So win your respect back in their eyes by behaving with honesty.
