The television has really affected as in more ways than one. Did anyone catch the V TV series 2009 premiere? It was good – which is surprising for a remake. For those who missed the memo – the V TV series 2009 is indeed a remake, the original came out back in the 80s. The first miniseries was in 1983. A sequel came out in 1984, and then a TV show in late 1984.) ABC broadcast the return of the Visitors during the World Series, and it was awesome. No word on when a guinea pig will be eaten or alien babies will be birthed yet – but the producers say we will! If the rest of the V TV series 2009 are as good, instant cash for the DVD would be worth it.

Well, I'm freaking out over here. Her husband doesn't love her and treats her like dirt, but she should suck it up to keep the family together? That sounds kind of "pre-feminist movement" to me. You want to revolutionize the American marriage by having affairs so that couples can stay together for the sake of the children? I'm not big on divorce, but that sounds excrutiatingly painful to me - and very retro.

How is it not getting your way to complain when the guy who promised to love and cherish you till death do you part is having sex with lots of other women and lying to you about it? Don Draper ruined his marriage, not Betty.

As for Betty, a 1960's housewife about to get divorced - she's in deep mud financially. Back in those days everything belonged to the husband: house, car, credit record, his income. She hasn't worked in a while and she may not have finished her education. Spoiled brats aren't brave enough to put happiness above financial comfort.

The series must have some pretty good writers. And us 21st century women are in for a bad time of it if Don Draper becomes the new standard of behavior.
