Finally found out whose "head was in a pot on the stove" on Floribama Murders this weekend. *spoilers ahead, no pun intended. Okay, this limo driver who lived with one woman but had a joint checking account with a hoarder woman across the street was a head scratcher. She killed him and cut him up to keep getting his social security checks that were direct-deposited into their joint account? I feel like there's more to this story but I may have missed it.

That Dad was getting on my nerves too. A lot of people on "Evil Lives Here" do, because they have to fill an hour recounting horrible behavior and why they didn't do anything about it sooner. It's NOT Satan whispering in their ear, and it's not the police's job to raise your kids! They do have the best theme music though. :)

Now that I think of it, after his arrest for assault Johnny's lawyer got him a sweet deal to serve the time in a mental health facility getting treatment. Johnny turned that down and said he'd rather serve the time in jail. Who would do that? A Scientologist, but this aspect is never brought up again because I guess it didn't fit into their narrative of how fame drives people crazy?

They just mentioned Scientology once and briefly, but to me that's a crucial factor in this whole thing since they don't believe in medication or therapists.

Johnny Lewis on "Death by Fame" tonight. I barely remembered him being on Sons of Anarchy. Sounds like he developed some severe mental illness, but his family being Scientologists would not have gotten him the help he needed. They knew he had violent episodes but instead got him an apartment in the Writer's Villa.

Sounds like the producers really should verify people's qualifications on this show. Plus they left a lot out.

"Death By Fame" on Monday nights on ID was pretty good. I don't remember hearing about Amie Harwick (Drew Carey's former fiance) getting murdered by a crazy ex-boyfriend before. I've been doing a little research however and she was not a real doctor despite her bringing up her "Phd" in Sex Therapy. It was from an unaccredited diploma mill in San Francisco that's since been shut down. I think the alleged killer, Gareth Pursehouse, is due to go on trial next month.

Hamilton, by Ron Chernow. Fantastic writer. I think I've since read everything he's written, even the early stuff, but you never forget your first.

I'm not reading Harry's book, but this was a free download in Oct. so what the hell.
