  It is funny i remember when movies like tv was considered to be a flight of fancy - a time you would use to escape have a good time with friends. When did it matter if the Betty lives appove her means? Its tv not parenting and finances 101 - To all those who love Ungly Betty for her.

  I dunno about that... I work in science. It's a LOT like Dexter's Lab. There's all sorts of secret rooms with gigantic computers in them and mutant mice that if we let them out of their cages, they could probably take over the world. And then there's the lab coat and the purple nitrile gloves I get to wear along with my science safety glasses that looks so much like Dexter's. The halls are nice and shiny and have that secret sciency stuff is going on in here kinda feel. Then there's the annoying people like Dexter's sister DeeDee who are just IDIOTS trying to always destroy your experiments and who really have no place in a laboratory.

  I once worked for a small magazine and made so little money, the part-time cleaning staff made more money than I did. It was nothing like tv and I had so few friends there that no one really noticed when I left.

  Meh, I think ALL tv shows portray unrealistic lifestyles. From Ugly Betty to WWF it's all a bunch of romanticized, dramatized hooey.

  Speaking of lab work, my lab looks nothing like dexter's.

  I am a graphic designer student but whenever I watch House MD or Grey's Anatomy I SO MUCH wish to be a doctor...although in my country the docs are underpaid, overworked and sometimes not even respected by the patients. Still. This sweet TV series lie fools me everytime. :P
