Maybe Baby

In last night's episode of Modern Family, "When A Tree Falls," Gloria has her baby.  Or at least starts too.  She's being held in a CostCo back office with Claire when her water breaks  Except she was only pretending so they could get out of there.

I doubt many people were fooled.  Not because this wouldn't be a classic sitcom way of giving birth, but because it wasn't publicized.  In fact, what promotional ads had promised wasn't a baby, but a big showdown between Jay and Phil, who'd put on some (comically oversized) boxing gloves and have it out.

I like it when a big moment comes unexpectedly on a show.  These days, however--at least on network sitcoms--it rarely happens.  They wouldn't consider having something big like this go down without letting viewers know about it.  I suppose the idea is anything to get people watching, but it does spoil the surprise.  And in this case spoiled the non-surprise.

the better range, prices and high availability that online retail shops offer, it is no wonder that many Chanel aficionados have a preference of purchasing their Chanel accessories online, instead of limiting their choices to that of the official boutiques and other brick and mortar retail outlets. http://www.verynorthface.com Touch them, pinch them, swipe or shake them, find out where you are with them: the most effective ads exploit this rich user interface to incorporate elements that people interact with, turning passive advertising into active engagement. north face canada Here a quick rundown of the collection:. north face jackets I can see this being a part of my regular routine, as a girl with 99.9% straight hair it is a nice change to have all this body. uggs on sale Check out my blog post here, and the latest from Ben and his studio in Chinaby following his blog here! ~Thanks, Ben!.
