LOL, now that's something I'd watch in reruns: Season 3 in a MST3K format. Three little heads at the bottom of the screen translating the script from SO-speak to English (with a twist)! I've got a few nominations to fill those theather seats too. Actually, we would have to rotate commentators - there are so many satirists on board!

I hear you! I actually lowered the television volume, and found myself looking around to make sure that noone in my house had wandered downstairs the day the ladies had their "sex talk" in group. After they implied that Antonia must --- well, you remember -- I thought, "well what a surprise -- the 22 year old isn't comfortable volleying the details of her intimate life around the SO circle, and it's the peri-menopausal women (and one 31 year old) who are talking over each other because they don't want to miss the opportunity to "share". Jodi, Christy, Jill - I didn't want to get near their memories or their interpretations of the carnal delights, LOL. I'm not saying that women over thirty should head for the convent, but I still believe that some degree of discretion and tact goes a long way - especially when family members, neighbors, and co-workers can tune in.

So, I'm not of the opinion that the general lack of sexual subject matter had much to do with the demise of SO. Besides, there were more than a few soap operas playing on other channels in that afternoon timeslot, and they have plenty of scripted love to offer. I know, I know - soap operas aren't spontaneous and the actors aren't "real people"...but in this case, that's the point.

Edit - removal of a wayward apostrophe...
