Swine flu goes waaaay back it was even around in the 80s..

You thought swine flu was a recent thing didn’t you?

Well, I did. Until last night. 

While watching a particularly sad episode of Cheers (it’s an 80s sitcom) one of the characters mentions the words swine flu (she mentions it at 2:38) to disparage the main character.

Imagine my shock and surprise when I found out that swine flu was flying around the world even back than?  I was left wondering however why they weren’t calling the virus by it’s ‘ proper name’  H1N1 (honestly, don’t those letters remind you of a formula for a mineral or something?) ?

The Centers for Disease Control and the US Department of Agriculture are unaware of this episode existence they must be?  Because if they had they certainly would have asked for that part to be dubbed over with the correct term for the virus…I can just see H1N1 rolling off Diane’s tongue just as easily as swine flu can’t you? LOL 

The Golden Girls are now on Hallmark..

For the past few days I’ve been frantically flipping through Lifetime’s t.v schedule. I’ve been searching for The Golden Girls  and I couldn’t find the show’s listing anywhere! I thought I had screwed up the schedule or that I was just going crazy. But I finally solved the dilemma.

It’s moved! 

The Golden Girls are now on Hallmark.

After eons on Lifetime Television the iconic 80s sitcom (and one of the best show on tv) has found a new home on the Hallmark channel.

Some of Lifetime’s most loyal viewers aren’t too happy with the network’s decision and many are planning on boycotting the network. Many want the network to return GG to their lineup or apologize for taking it off the air. One fan even declared they were having GG withdrawal.

I don’t know if the nework has to the capacity or desire to accomodate their demands but I can sympathize with these fans because I don’t know what I would do without my girls!
