Dishing about fave shows part of fun

At Hawaii MomsLikeMe.com, there's more going on than just discussions about kids and parenting.

When "bikini girl" got eliminated from "American Idol" last week, the jeers (for her) and cheers (for her expulsion) from the moms chatting on Hawaii Moms LikeMe.com lit up the discussion board.

The tamest comment was, "Oh man, I'm so glad she got the boot!" Where that poster said the boot should have gone is not fit for repeating in a family newspaper.

Love to dish about TV shows? Then Hawaii Moms LikeMe.com is your place.

Yes, the moms on the Web site converse a lot in the discussion board about their children, work, love and life ... but who doesn't crave some escapism now and then?

So there is an entire chat forum category on http://Hawaii.MomsLikeMe.com dedicated to entertainment — books, events, attractions, music, travel, movies and TV.

You can also click on the pink Groups tab and go to the Entertainment & Arts category, where you'll find TV-related groups including a "Grey's Anatomy" Fans group, and a group for "teen dramas" such as "90210" and "Gossip Girl." (As an aside, there is also the Book Club, with 54 members; Movie Mamas, with 32 members; and even MMA Lovin' Mamas. As in, mixed martial arts — 28 moms are members in that one.)

When "Grey's Anatomy" and its spinoff "Private Practice" combined for a two-hour special last week, the moms chatting on the site issued a collective sigh heard 'round cyberspace.

But they've got a critical eye too. They want Izzy's flashbacks/imaginings with Denny on "Grey's" to go. "Kinda getting a little tired of the whole Denny thing. She needs to move on," wrote one mom who calls herself MamaMia808. "Just a little too TV-ish for me. Memory, yes; talking, OK; (but) not in the sack."
