What have they done to karen walker???

Last night i went to see Helen Mirren's new film "The Queen". The film is set in the week after Princess Diana's death. It is a great film and Dame Mirren's performance is astounding. I am not a fan of the royal family at all although i was a fan of Princess Diana and i aint ashamed to say it. The film presents both sides of the story and leaves the viewer to make their own decisions about the way the world handled that week in 1997. I left the cinema still loving Diana whilst also understanding the way the Queen felt she had to deal with things.

I got back from the cinema and fell into bed to watch the strangely attractive Alexander Armstrong in "Life Begins" followed by a few episodes from my new "Will and Grace" box set. Its the 8th and final series and although there are some classic moments, the show has lost a lot of what made it great. The fact that they have turned Karen Walker into a caring and emotional individual is a travesty!!!

Karen Walker has to be one of my favourite sitcom characters of all time. Her fantastic one liners and drug and drink fuelled state have always managed to bring a smile to my face. Below are some examples of the genius wit that was Miss Karen Walker!

"It's not something that you can just run away from like a hotel bill or a crying baby"

"Well don't let it go to your head, Your hair is already such a disaster that the red cross wont even give it coffee"

"You know what else is sad - poor people with dreams, well its not so much sad as it is extremely funny"

"How did you hurt your back? Running away from good taste?"

"I'll have a scotch on the rocks and make the rocks pills!"

"Martini honey! and dont waste any space with those olives"

"Honey you're simple, you're shallow and you're a common whore and thats why we're soulmates"
