-- 12:18a Skim Ch5 news; We seem to have about 2" of snow that fell this evening.

-- 9:45a Up; Breakfast @home: PB&T
>>> 10:25a "Party of Five" (Metacritic: 77, 63-100, #16)
In the original, 20 years ago, the parents died, but in this version, the
family is Hispanic and the parents have been deported back to Mexico.
The location has moved from SF to LA. The names have changed but the genders haven't.
The ages are about the same, but the teens are fraternal twins.
~~ Other recent reboots, like "Roswell" and "Charmed", have also switched
to Hispanic characters, so I wonder how many more are going to follow this pattern.
~~ They say that the family has no relatives in US, but the parents have lived here
for 23 years. It seems odd that there don't seem to be any adult friends of theirs
who can help. This was also true in the original series. But it this one, the
parents are available by phone. They're not true orphans.
~~ I will probably continue to watch
-- 12:57p "Modern Family"
-- 2:21p "Evil"
