What is this on my television (computer) screen?

Jan 20, 2013 19:11

I have to say that ABC family really blows me away sometimes. This week's (and last week's) Switched at Birth had some great topical moments.

Last week, Daphne's distracted during Melody's class:

Melody: "Do you realize how badly you screwed up? I'm not talking about dating your boss. Your mom can yell at you about that. I don't care. I'm talking ( Read more... )

tv: switched at birth

I need to add The Emmett show to my list! So much TV to watch!

Yes you do! But you've only missed 2 eps! So that's something!

Four hours, actually. But who's counting anymore I'm all caught up!

Do you understand the signs on the show? Oh, and be careful with your hands, KC!

Yes some of them I understand very well because they're simple and used all the time in sign and just on the show in general. But most of them? I don't have a clue! I have also noticed that they don't always show you a good shot of the signer. Sometimes the other person is blocking the full sign or whatever, but I really feel like the show is so respectful to the Deaf community and issues that they deal with and represents it very well.

They really do. I believe this more and more. And BUNHEADS? God, kill me with perfect.

I am taking my 2nd ASL class this semester. I started last summer and I feel like this show definitely inspired me to bite the bullet after years of wanting to learn. (But also a couple of Deaf students that come into the library that I know.)

Ugh:

“If they communicate by standing on their heads, we will stand on our heads.”

LOVE THAT. What a great place.

You are making me want to watch Switched at Birth! I keep catching the end of it while I'm waiting for Bunheads to start and it reminds me of a WB show (and I loved WB shows).

It surprised me really. I think it was one of those things I caught up with on netflix one day just because I was bored? I didn't expect it to like it as much as I do.

Awesome. There have only been 2 episodes of S2. But I think S1 was pretty long because of ABC Family's split seasons. Tell me what you think!
