Why Watch TV: It will make you smarter
by Bob Sassone, posted Apr 25th 2006 3:50PM
In honor of the stupid tradition known as TV
Turn-off Week, The Toronto Star's Melanie Arpe has a
list of great TV quotes from over the years. Who says you can't learn anything from television?Some of my favorites:
- "I thought I was in love once, and then later I thought that maybe it was just an inner ear inbalance." - Fraser, Due South.
- "Never get caught in bed with a dead woman or a live man." - J.R., Dallas.
- "Ever since we said 'I do' there are so many things that we don't." - Lucy, I Love Lucy.
- "Sometimes the road less travelled is less travelled for a reason." - Jerry Seinfeld, Seinfeld.
The Five: Reasons NOT to kill off Ana Lucia

I wholeheartedly disagree with this
editorial in the Toronto Star. The writer calls for Ana Lucia's character to be killed off on Lost. He'd
like to see her get scurvy, mauled by a polar bear, "vanish into a black cloud", or get shot in a special
guest appearance by Dick Cheney. He says that, despite her tragic back-story, Ana Lucia is not a captivating character.
He thinks she lacks depth and doesn't like her attitude. He also calls for the "killing-off" of Izzie on Grey's Anatomy, so he may just be completely out of his mind.Here are five reasons to keep Ana Lucia alive:
5. We love to hate her. Why does everybody have to get along? So she's abrasive and lacks common sense or civility. She has a management style thats, um, different. That makes for a great, strong character. Even if we do hate her.
