Based on a suggestion from Luna, I watched these shows on A & E and enjoyed them both. Family Plots is simply Six Feet Under without the sex and Airline is filled with some of the most impatient, crazy, shouting, short-fused people I've ever met other than me. That said, these flyers had every right to be cranky...the episode I watched had Southwest Airlines overbooking a flight by over FIFTY PEOPLE, many who had had their reservations confirmed for months and would miss a cruise if they didn't arrive at their destination on time. Good grief! One of the Southwest employees was unhumanly patient and kind to the aggressive would-be passengers who looked at any moment like they would climb over the counter and pummel her to death with their bare fists.
The family running the funeral home on Family Plots is quite colorful and entertaining too and almost makes me want to work in that business except for the fact that I'm afraid of dead people, embalming is creepy and attending funerals day after day would make me want to blow my brains out, but still.
Good shows, Luna...thanks for the suggestion!
