Arlynda absolutely
loves [Rizzoli & Isles], which stars [Angie Harmon] and [Sasha Alexandeer],
and I have admired Angie from first sight for some very obvious reasons (to us
manly men). What neither one of us
realized until Angie had an episode on [Who Do You Think You Are?], is that she
deserves to win at least a dozen [Emmys] every year she stars on a television
show. For when working without a script
(as in real-life) she appears to be a blithering idiot.
Okay, maybe that
was a little harsh, but if you saw her in pursuit of her [family roots], you
should at least understand what I mean.
Well, maybe not. For I have been
being made more and more aware of how oblivious far too many are when it comes
to history—even historical events that have affected them directly.
To get more down to
her nitty-gritty, which no longer sounds as appealing to me as it did before
the depths of her cluelessness was revealed, the focus of her hunt for members
of her family tree settled upon a German immigrant, who came over here as an
indentured servant and wound up serving in a Continental Army unit mustered out
of Philadelphia in the earliest days of our Revolutionary War. My immediate thought was wondering if he was
at [Valley Forge], and sure enough, he was.
Angie had no idea what any of this was about.
Yeah, I suppose it is
possible that she was actually acting like a blithering idiot on Who Do You
Think You Are? in order to make the completely clueless about history feel a
little better about themselves. For others
featured on the show have been just like Angie.
[Chris O’Donnell] had no idea about the significance of having a direct
relative inside of [Fort McHenry] on the night it was being shelled by British
ships and The Star-Spangled Banner was being penned in 1814. Although, there have also
been several who acquitted themselves very well. So, I have my doubts about the acting like an
idiot possibility.
I failed to find
when Who Do You Think You Are? will return (if ever). In the meantime, you can watch Angie Harmon
acting like an incredibly intelligent woman on Rizzoli & Isles and marvel
at what a brilliant actress she evidently is with a script to follow.
