Fans from all around the world enjoy the blog with visits from the UK and Canada being most popular.

Yeah to the Blog Page!!! - I have said this more than once - I actually enjoy reading the blog page and the posted comments much more than I enjoy watching the actual episodes. Thank you blog writers for helping me keep my interest in the show & I am sure there are more viewers out there that would agree with me. Thank you, Thank you. Keep calm and carry on.
