Editor's note: Quite a few visitors typed in their nominee's name instead of their own.

Jonathan Storm: Hello after a couple of weeks away. At least nobody, so far, wants to vote us off the TV, but there does seem to be a lot of anger out there.

Ellen Gray: Yep. I was kind of shocked, actually, by the venom. So let's get to some of the comments.

Rachel Ray: Yummo & EVOO make me want to vomit when I hear her utter those stupid words. That and her little cackle. How about yuck-o!

Oprah: Rachel Ray out of my kitchen!

Sam in Cherry Hill: rachel ray. insincere and uninformed. why is she all over the tube?

Rachel Ray: She has to be the most annoying person on t.v. bad hands always moving,  poor dresser, bad hair.Used to really like her,but forgetta about it now.

Ellen: This one confuses me a little, since I don't see much daytime TV (being too busy typing away about nighttime TV most of the time) and so I mostly know Ray from the Dunkin Donuts commercials. Where, I'll admit, she's pretty damn annoying. But still...

Jonathan: I think Rachel is cute and perky. But she seems very down on herself, here.

bklyntransplant: Rachel = lowest common denominator of American cooking. "No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public." -- Mencken

Ellen: Mencken and Rachel Ray have probably never been mentioned together in the same sentence. Are we upscale or what?

Jordan: Ellen Pompeo gets my vote. It's easier to accept a polar bear on a tropical island than it is to see all these men fall for her. It's TV's version of Knocked Up -- only less funny and observant.

bklyntransplant: Can't imagine how they'd pull this off, but Meredith Grey is getting waaaaay anoying on Grey's Anatomy IMHO

Jonathan: I think Ellen Pompeo is cute and perky. Oh wait, I already said that.

Jonathan: Actually, I can't imagine why anyone watches Grey's Anatomy at all.

Ellen: It's not the first time I've hated a show's main character and continued watching for the supporting cast (though the cast is looking worse by the minute). I think Meredith is the new Ally McBeal in that way. And perhaps in others. 

Jonathan: Oh, no! I *loved* Ally.

Ellen: Of course you did.

EFD: What a lame way to get Sara off the show. No way would she have done that if she was a real person.

Stan Givens: I loved the Sara Sidle on CSI; I'd get rid of Eckley.

Jonathan: Who's Eckley?

Poppa Winks: The clown that plays Hodges on CSI should follow Sara Sidle out the door. He is a "butt kisser" & lousy actor.

CSI-ite: eckley is the icky character of the show-- creepy dude 

Jonathan: I can't keep their names straight on CSI. I just know them by what they look like, or their real names, like Marge Helgenberger. I love CSI because you don't have to know all their names. And for lots of other reasons, too, especially the William Peterson character, whose name is Grissom.

Ellen: The nice thing about a big ensemble show is that you can get rid of people without the whole show going down the tubes. Though they probably don't want to screw with William Peterson's contract.

PG: The character is SUPPOSED to be a butt-kisser, but as for the actor, he's always bugged me, even way back when he played a writer on the Larry Sanders show.

bklyntransplant: Jonathan, Too bad there's no one cute and perky on CSI -- You'd remember her name!

Ellen: Funny, I'm from Brooklyn, too, and I was about to say the same thing.

Jonathan: Oh, you mean Sara Sidle, played by Jorja Fox? Now she's *not there* and I'm pissed!

Ellen: Was Sara ever perky? She always seemed depressed to me.

Jonathan: Who is this Ecklie guy? I can't even recognize him after seeing his picture.

Jonathan: Yes, wonderfully thoughtful and depressed, with that strangely attractive face.

Ellen: I think everyone on that show needs to get out in the sunshine occasionally. On the other hand, David Caruso, on the CSI show I hate the most, probably could stand to work more nights. Such pale skin for a Floridian.

PG: David Caruso as Horatio Caine on "CSI: Miami." I stopped watching it years ago because he's such a pompous *bleep*, always with the "gotcha line" and peering over those glasses and the silly tilt of his head. Blech.

Deborah Sullivan: Horatio Kane/David Caruso...awful character/dreadful actor.

PG: Ecklie is the anti-Grissom who shows up every few weeks to be a smarmy pain in the rear, hoping to get the night crew in trouble.

Ellen: No argument here.

Jonathan: Oh, that guy! HATE him!

Ellen: I'm a Caruso hater from way back.

Jonathan: Yeah, me too. I thought he was a snot-head when he was on NYPD Blue.

bklyntransplant: Remember when Caruso self-destructed on NYPD Blue? Egotistic fool.

Ellen: The funny thing is that when he was on Blue, at least the first season, I actually thought he was a good actor. Which just shows how important writers are to the whole process -- David Milch made that guy shine.

Bob: I have better things in life, than answer some stupid question so your site can say ,We have the BIG STORY.

uh: It is sad that anyone spends anytime watching this garbage let alone chat about it.

Ellen: Hope we're not keeping you from something really important -- the Mideast peace conference isn't going too well, I hear. If you want to get on that, we can wait. Really.

Jonathan: Don't you love people who disprove thier point as soon as they open their mouth?

Ellen: I prefer to think our chats are irresistible.

bklyntransplant: Ellen, Thanks for reminding us about the writers. They are struggling for their rights as we write.

Dan S.: JORJA FOX was the main reason I watched CSI! Can't stand Marg Hellenberger; she should have been the one to go.

Jonathan: Marg is fine, but I loved Jorja too. I'm having a hard time typing through my tears now she's gone.

Ellen: In fairness, I think Jorja went on her own, didn't she? Marg didn't volunteer.

philliegirl: I just want those Christmas car comercials to go away. I can't afford to put gas in a hooptie let alone buy a new car for myself and put a red bow on the top. Duh!

Jonathan: I just did some routine repairs on my 13-year-old car: $800. That's enough money for me, thank you.

Ellen: Couldn't agree more. Saw a Lexus commercial the other night where the message was that you should get one for your spouse. Now this is mass-marketing, folks, not an ad in Forbes. Just how many of us do they think have that kind of money? We buy a car every eight to 10 years in my house, and it's not something that coincides with Christmas.

Ellen: Though if someone left a Prius under the tree, I wouldn't send it back.

Jonathan: My buying a "new" car coincides with my old one dying. Guess we're hopelessly out of the main stream.

Jonathan: Plus, we haven't gotten a raise in about 5 years.

Brian Goulstone: Boot off anyone that vouluntarily signs up for a reality show (home makeover, competition, nanny show, etc) and then complains about the requirements of the same show. "Whaddya mean Super Nanny is going to berate me on national tv about spanking?; "I know the shows called The Amazing RACE, but do I really have to RUN?").

Jonathan: Yeah. That really bugged me when some whiny parent of a Kid Nation participant complained that her daughter got burned by grease in the kitchen. I've had worse sunburns.

Ellen: I know what you mean -- I like the Amazing Race, but I have no desire to actually run it. I like strolling through foreign places, maybe sitting in cafes watching the locals rush by while I'm on vacation with nowhere important to go. So I know I'd make a lousy contestant.

philliegirl: I took 3 pay cuts since 9/11 just to keep a job! Just give me Charlie Brown and the Grinch. I don't need to be reminded that I couldn't afford any of those Mcmansions people are losing let alone the diamonds, cars, and big screen TVs.

Jonathan: It's one of the few places in life where a 60-year-old can look at something and actually see what it means to be 60, like you have *no chance* to beat these young people, even if they are all way stupider than you.

Michael: OK, so it's holiday season and there are a million and one specials. What are your personal favorite holiday broadcasts?

Jonathan: I hate 'em all.

Jonathan: Except maybe, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."

Ellen: Well, philliegirl just mentioned my favorite, A Charlie Brown Christmas, which I watched for like the, what, 40somethingth year the other night. With my younger son, who humors me, and our beagle, who's so far refused to learn to skate.

Jonathan: The Peanuts things never get old.

Jonathan: You have a beagle?
