Sharon Tate/California Dreamin (2 birds; one stone)

After watching last nights news regarding the update on Charles Manson and the Tate Murder, I got a flashback of the film Valley of the Dolls; with good actresses, Patty Duke, Barbara Parkins, Susan Hayward, and Sharon Tate. So here is a tribute to Sharon, with The Mamas and the Papas as background (I remember seeing them in concert! Yes! I am that old! And they were good!)

Top Chef/ how long will this type of show format keep it's popularity?

This may be a bit premature, but I am not to terribly crazy about the cast of contestants this season. Last season, I attached myself instantly to the seasons cast. Not this time.

It seems that PR4, Top Chef, ANTM, Step Up and Dance, etc, all have the same recipe, same format style. Wonder when the public will get bored with it? These similar type of program formats, can't go on forever.
