Army Wives is back!

Okay, so I cried a the beginning but was very disappointed in the pg woman and her not having an abortion despite really wanting one! I know it's not pc to have/talk about abortion but it never fails that programs present women 'in a quandary' and then they end up having the baby! Grrrrr!

Other than that, I like the show simply because it has women being friends - which we SHOULD be, no matter what.

Marin, I agree about the "radio lady" bit. It seemed out of place. The second episode was a bit more 'normal' but it does seem the directing (editing?) is different but that may just be my misperception. As for the young sister, wouldn't she want to be with her mom? The that situation was weird but I didn't think it too abnormal. I'll still watch the show when I remember that it's on. Sunday's during the summer tend to be busy, KWIM?

the new one is on Sun, but it repeats on Mon.

I see 2 shows on my list for sun and I think one is a repeat from the previous week followed by the new on

I am afraid to read all your posts until I catch up.  I decided to buy season 1 last week and check it out to see if I liked it.  I have shed so many tears watching this show.  Reminds me of my life as an Army wife.  I was a high ranking NCO wife for 7 years and loved every minute of my life.  They have really portrayed the comradary well with this show.  It has also made me miss my husband so bad, he passed away 9 years ago.  I tell you, it is something else.  Now with my son in Iraq, watching these deployments and having sent my son back to Iraq from a 3 week leave last week, just breaks me up.  My son was back 1 day when 3 of his unit members were killed by a roadside bomb.  Not one of them older than 21 and all with wives and children.  I am sooo hooked to this show and just watched episode 1 of season two on line.  My tears are just rolling down my face.  Just so much saddness yet I can't pull myself away.  I guess I'm not really saying anything but expressing my saddness.  Thank you for the place to vent this because it has been a long time since I really cried about my husband and now my son messed up in this.  It can be a fine life yet such a heartbreaking life........

the episodes are online on the army wives website, that is how I caught the first episode, going to try and watch the other two today and then watch it tonight.  As much as I cry it reminds me of good times in my life.  The one thing that is so fake though is the officers wives and enlisted wives (especially roxy, her husband being a lowly E3) is not real.  Officers wives are not allowed to fraternize with the lower enlisted ranks like that.  It is the job of the First Sgts or Sgt First Classes wives to be friendly and supportive.  I couldn't imagine any birgader generals wives even acknowledging and private first classes wife, just doesn't happen!  Oh well, the show is still good and close to the lifestyle.

LuAnn, I did the same thing with "China Beach"---watched it even tho it tore me up.  I am glad you are reminded of good things but my heart goes out to you watching your son go back to Iraq. 

After Nam, I have to admit that I was not too upset that my son tore up his knees playing soccor in high school.  I should be ashamed to say that, being a vet myself, along with my dh and brother, but I brought home a lot of injured from Nam and that's just how I feel.

Please know, I fully support our troops, all around the world, but detest that they are in harm's way. 

And you are so right about the TV's not getting it right--seems to happen no matter what they present, literary license, I suppose.  I cringe at medical shows, and then laugh out loud at some of the mistakes.
