There are two stories that will come into play in this blog (my final one, I promise.) The first ist the story you are thinking of right now. The other is the story I am about to tell.

In the time before man (I'm using evolution as it fits my purposes better)...In the time before man there were other creatures, specifically fish. One of these fish is called Ralph. Ralph was living in a very big ocean. Swimming in the seas he liked and having a good time with all his fishy friends (yes, we're all fish, get over it.)

The seas that Ralph like to swim in started getting rough. He decided not to swim so near the top. He swam lower because he didn't know what to do. He kept on his fish friends. He watched as some of those above him disappeared. He felt sadness, but could not abide the rough waters.

He tried, of course, but swimming in the rough waters was not the same. Then they got rougher still Ralph was so disheartened. He was sad and he was angry. He was ready to close his gills and sink to the bottom of the ocean.

He cried out to his friends that was what he was going to do. And his friends, as true fish friends would, his friends begged him not to go and reminded him of what he was leaving behind. Fish can cry.

Ralph started thinking about some of his fish friends who had "disappeared." In testing the new rougher waters he noticed them...standing on a shoreline not too far away. He heard them calling out to him. He saw that they had grown legs...

...and he noticed that he had legs too.

So Ralph the fish walked from the waters...and decided to find a new home.

You'll have to cut and paste to get there. Give me a little time to get set-up and running, but at least for the next five weeks that will be my new blog home.

I mentioned two stories. The one I told...and the one you were thinking about. You were thinking about the boy who cried wolf...you were, weren't you?

In closing, I really appreciate the things that were said here and in other blogs and comments on other blogs. That is what really pushed me to finding a new home. I invite you all to visit me there, and I will continue to look for you, my friends in other places. You mean something to me.

And... if you wanted to drop me a line, you know my name Ralphellis which is @ a Good place to send mail.com . (put the orange bits together.)

Thank you all.

So, The last blog was Hello to a new year, and goodby to here. This is goodbye to hear and hello to somewhere else. We'll make it through, I promise.

See you on the other side.

Well, with a new year upon us it's time to make changes and start fresh.

...Or end fresh.

Yeah.... I am finally fed up with all the changes here. I really don't like this even newer new tvdotcom. I have come to terms over the past few months that I would have to give this up. It's been hard coming to that decision. ...the realization that I will be leaving you all...losing you all. Many of my friends have already left...now I must go too.

I love you all, as much as man can love people he's never really met. You gave me good times...and good advice, kind words, laughs and warm feelings. I will miss you all...

The next step in my little thingy here is to leave a comment about shows you think shouldn't be cancelled.

Shows that are legal to be included are shows that aired this season. New, old, whatever. If it has aired or is going to air in this television season then it can be included. For instance: Moonlight is not eligible, but Lost is. Does that make sense?

It also doesn't matter if it was included on the list of shows to be cancelled.

So, tell me what shows should be cancelled and give an explanation.

Continuing the tradition, I'll add shows as comments come in.

This will be up until Tuesday.

See you next week for part 3.

I am soliciting you comments. I would like to generate a list of shows that should be cancelled. So, please drop me a comment with shows that should be cancelled and why you feel they are worthy of cancellation. I am asking that we not step to the aid of our favorites at this time. I plan on giving you an opportunity to defend your maligned shows at a later date. This is just stage one in a multi-stage blog.

There you go. Drop me a comment, what shows need to be removed from existence?

Thanks!
