IMHO Oprah is a dangerous individual and if she is planning on keeping her channel health oriented, except it's health according to Oprah and "friends"...well a true waste of a channel it will be. Maybe it can be that nutjob Dr. Phil 24/7...won't that be wonderfully nauseating. Glad I don't waste my money on cable TV.

Can you tell I don't have kids, and don't believe in infertility tx.
Be happy with life, not everything has to give birth to be special.
I've known a lot of people who used fertility treatments, and NOBODY had more than twins. The largest number had single births - or no baby at all. Chances are, you know people who used them and they just never told you.

Those quintuplet/sextuplet programs have gotten really old. If you've seen one, you've seen them all. And what about the Van Houten sextuplets of Michigan, who will never be the focus of any reality show because all of the children are disabled, two of them very profoundly? That's not "cute" although the children are definitely loved.

They are nuts I understand they are all home schooled. How do they plan to send all those children to college. Are they going to open their own university next?

Those Duggars make me think of those polygamous families in Utah, although I realize the kids all have the same mom and dad.My sister put it this way: "You just know at least one of those kids is gay." Imagine the shock when THAT will be revealed (if that is indeed the case).

I hope none of your sisters children (if she has any) don't turn out to be gay. One never knows what lies ahead of them when they have children and I wouldn't think a child coming out of the closet would change my love for them one bit. IMHO

Oprah is very irritating. Personally, I am on Oprah overload. She is certainly a great businesswoman, but she is so pompous it is ridiculous. I was at home last week and it was on in the afternoon. She had women who felt better about themselves after one of the queer eye co-hosts showed them women w/ larger backsides. Does this not play into the idea of women feeling good about themselves by putting others down? What were the ladies w/ the super sized behinds supposed to feel like??? Just what we need in this world, more catty female antics.

I have always wanted the Discovery Health channel but refused to pay for it. The good news for everyone who is upset about missing Trauma Life in the ER, or Untold Stories of the ER can all be seen on TLC. They even are finally showing Dr G Medical Examiner. Just check out your local TV listings for TLC.

I am not surprised to here Discovery Health is going away I had also heard that was a possibility of TLC and Lifetime because they are not big money makers. I watch a lot on TLC and used to watch more on Lifetime.
