My daughter, who is 20 and an English major in college, constantly says I'm pathetic. Ah well. I can certainly think of worse things to be, and worse men to love than VDO. I've gotten her to watch The Break-Up (Oh, Mom...he was so awkward it was painful to watch!) and Happy Accidents (He was really cute in an odd kind of way). But she loves to watch CI with me, and Bobby has grown on her. (Mother, you've contaminated me!) I even have her admitting now that he really is "kind of cute." It's progress...

The women in your family have great taste in men. I told my husband that I love Goren because he reminds me so much of him. (worked like a charm)
Yep. Hook, line and sinker. We have a clear understanding. He's my one and only unless VDO shows up on our doorstep. Then all bets are off. At least I'm honest...

I have been trying to convert my sister-in-law into a full fledged Bobby fan. I have shown her some photos and she does think he's hot (SLURP!!! is actually what she said) but for some reason she has never watched LOCI. Months ago I loaned her my Season 1 DVD set to get her started but still no success. Now her dog has chewed up the packaging. Sigh!!! Thankfully she is going to replace it. Your powers of persuasion are obviously better than mine.

On Sunday evenings, Bravo shows 4 LOCI's back-to-back (not sure if they do that everywhere, or if that's just our cable programming). So, our usual Sunday night routine is dinner at home, followed by ironing in front of the TV (I have scorched a few things while being distracted...oops!). Last Sunday, my husband wanted to go out to our favorite Mexican place for dinner because we didn't go on our usual Friday night. I just looked at him, shocked, and said "But it's Bobby-night". Yes, he called me pathetic...and we got takeout.

Awww, your husband sounds like a nice guy. I'm sure when he called you pathetic it was said with love.

Thanks! Yeah...he's a sweetheart and a good sport. He actually really likes LOCI as well, so we make a good pair. He asked me to look up something on the internet for him a couple of weeks ago and I found it really quickly (lucky guess at a website name). When I produced the answer to his question in record time, he grinned and said "Thanks, Eames". I guess we're both LOCI geeks.

That's hilarious. Sounds like you are a well matched couple.

I have just signed up my 20-year old daughter and I for a NYC shopping trip next Monday. $50 each. NYC is about 4-1/2 hours away from where we live. It is a bus trip. They drop us off in front of Macys around 10 am and pick us up around 7 pm, so we are home by midnight. She just wants to shop and see the Christmas sights. Little does she know we will be on the hunt (in a non-stalking way) to see if CI is being filmed that day.

LOL that's great! My husband likes it too. He likes to get all up in my face and "interrogate" me. Pretty funny.

Have a wonderful time. Even if you don't catch the CI filming-wouldn't that be a nice Christmas present?-seeing the stores decorated and all that sounds like a lot of fun..

THis is my first try on a message board. I've been reading the messages for a while. I've been a fan of all the L&O series since the beginning. The intellectual humor and reality just keep me coming back. CI has my real devotion though. From the first episode I fell in love with Bobby. He may be a fictional character, but when real life is just overwhelming, daydreaming is healthy.
My 16 year old son convinced me I needed an ipod, by explaineing that he could download seasons 5-7 to it. It works for us, I pay for his music downloads and he keeps me well supplied with LOCI on-the-go. For a mom who gets stuck in the doctors's offices for hours sometimes or when I need something to do during my 45 minute lunch break at work it has been a life saver. I'm sure people wonder what I'm smiling about, I don't care. I can go to a very happy place for 3/4 of an hour and make it through the rest of the day with great pictures in my head.

When I found out L&OCI was on Itunes I had to hide my credit card from myself. LOL
Cuz I know I'd download every single episode. Well Goren/Eames ones anyway.
Oh yeah, and since this an are we pathetic board, is it pathetic that i am going to see Cadillac Records tonight just because some of our CI actors are in it?? Haha.

This is why I finally decided to start posting here; I needed to communicate with people who appreciate good television. Good writing, excellent actors, what''s not to love?

Hi Marciemom. Welcome! You know...I've been resisting getting an ipod, but you may have just given me a reason to put it on my Christmas list. LOCI on demand....what a great idea!
Are We Pathetic?, Reality check :)

Katie is already a hopeless Bobby lover. Like mother, like daughter.
