Just wondering who saw the latest 'My Name Is Earl' episode last Thursday.

This is the shows third season. . . and without going into the whole premise of Earl's life, last week featured around the game 'Killer Ball' (guess they had to tone down the name for prime-time TV).

Anyway, it's cool to see more WC users on regular TV, and not on DISCOVERY OR OMNI, science stations for a change!

I thought that was one of the funniest episodes, with the remote control chair w/ soundsystem. I also agree that it is cool to see more "crips" in the media. Most of the cartoons my son watches have disabled kids in them, hangin' w/ ABs. The Spiderman cartoon has a para, an amputee etc.. cast as equals. pretty cool.

Hey Hurb,
and the Family Guycartoon has a retired, disabled para cop (from a gunshot) on as a regular. . I know, I know...soooo NOT politically correct. But that's the beauty of Family Guy!

I know this is not about wheelchair rugby BUT it is about rugby.....The All Blacks THRASHED the English yesterday...I just know we are going to win the next World Cup (it was only 21 years ago on Friday that we won it for the first and last time!!)

We may have got thrashed, and with a game of errors and a woeful performance it was deserved however All Blacks to win the World Cup? I think not! Even with a home crowd you shall not be victorious, maybe in another 21 years???

I love Family Guy, No Meals On Wheels is a great episode..Go watch it people!

I think Southpark does a pretty good job of bringing awareness to disabilities and other unfortunate circumstances, even if it is tied in with a bit of sick humor.

By the sound of it the English rugby team were too busy expending their energy between the sheets. A quote from the woman who shagged David Strettle "His body was pretty much a perfect 10. He was such an accomplished lover and we did it in every position imaginable..." Thanks honey. We all needed to know that.

BTW NZ also beat England in the cricket AND the World Junior Rugby World Cup over the weekend. With our recent lamentable performances in the international sporting arena, when we win these days we have to gloat.

As for the 2011 World Cup, we''ll see...
