 At the risk of upsetting my mom, I’m going to say it because it needs to be said: Nancy Grace is trying my patience.  Before I go into the reasons why, if there’s anyone who can provide a safe haven for me to relocate to, please email me. My mom’s going to run me out of town for sure and I foresee something along the lines of the witness protection program. In Mom’s eyes, the sun rises and sets on Nancy Grace - she has a dog named what else but “Nancy Grace”. Now, as a rule, I totally dig her feisty attitude, but she is becoming quite aggressive with the guests on her show.  My frustration is from her refusal to allow guests to make comments or answer questions that aren’t interrupted by her demands.  Usually, it’s one of the guest attorneys she’s “unleashed”, and they can’t seem to get a word in.  But when she wouldn’t bite her tongue long enough for Tim Miller, the director and founder of Texas EquuSearch to provide answers to her questions, I knew it was time to flip the channel to the closest Law & Order rerun.  She’s already a fireball, but this new aggressive and rude side is one I hope she reins in and quick. 

I don’t think it’s occurred to her that the folks she’s attacking are on her side and usually in agreement with her.  There has to come a point in time that some of these recurring guests decide they’ve had enough of her belittling ways.  It’s all I can do to bite my tongue on a daily basis, so I know it’d take about two seconds for me to snap the microphone off of me and stand up and walk off - with very little care of it being a live show.  What’s even funnier to me is that most of them just grin and take it.  What are they thinking?!  Are they such narcissists that they’re willing to take it if it means a few minutes on TVs across the country?

And how glad are we to not have the first statement out of caller’s mouths, “Hi Nancy…your babies are beautiful.”?  Yeah, yeah…babies are beautiful.  These “babies” have to be nearing college by now.  No, I’m not serious, but they are approaching their first birthdays. 

Here’s the kicker - I’m just as drawn to the Casey Anthony brouhaha as my Mom is.  Nancy Grace is the only one who is still dedicating the lion’s share of her show to this case.  And seriously, I love that show - it’s just that I’m not very keen with this new and improved version of Nancy.  And if I miss it at seven o’clock, there’s always the 9 p.m., midnight and 2 a.m. replays.   I’m just hoping for that kinder and less rude side of her to reappear.  In the meantime, I’ll be cringing each time she annihilates one of her guests.
