Because nobody wants to watch a show about a bus driver.

Yeah, The Honeymooners are too vintage. Then again, living in this era of remakes, why not?

You're really obsessed with the bus driving. You know you're just a glorified taxi driver, right?

well when you own and run your own bus operation, it tends to become an integral part of one's life.

And there's more to it than being a glorified taxi driver; we actually go thru training, they dont.

i never said anything about a show about a bus driver...im saying, I have lives in my hands, why arent I getting paid alot more than what i get now? it's not that easy of a job.

I'll just say this:

Miley Cyrus. First time I even heard of her was about a year ago when she appeared and "sang" on GMA. I didn't like the noise that she calls music. That's why I don't like her....I don't like her music. Simple as that. I have NEVER seen one ep of Hannah Montana. I've seen clips on tv of the music on that show but that's it.

I don't understand why the little girls love her so danged much. Willing to fork over $1000 or more for a 1 hour concert. It's just fraking nutty.

As for High School Musical... I've never seen any of the High School musical things...I've only seen some music vids and heard em sing on GMA and Regis and Kelly. So I really don't have an opinion on it.

I mean don't get me wrong. I love musicals. Grease (the ORIGINAL High School Musical), West Side Story, Sound of Music, The King and I....those are classics. I watch em whenever they're on tv.

Im just not into the teeny bopper stuff. These are all simply fads that'll die off in a couple years. Next thing ya know Miley Cyrus (I like her dad's music BTW) will be dating Robin Thicke (another so called singer who can't sing a danged note... gah he's HORRIBLE)...and we'll just focus on that and forget about her little Disney channel show.

And then there's the Jonas Brothers... I don't like them. They remind me too much of Hansen. I HATE their version of "Wanna Be Like You"....they ruined one of my fave Jungle Book songs. So Poo on them!

Heh. no wonder why she's gonna be rich. She's her own scalper. I can't call her or Disney stupid for this. it's an evil brilliance.

And I'm gonna have to sympathise with Buslady. There are people who have to work thankless jobs for little pay to barely afford to live, while some talentless robot lipsyncs to music she didn't even write, and makes a fortune because rich soccermoms don't want to upset their greedy, spoiled kids.

I can agree Miley is a better role model than half the others out there who are outright sluts and telling kids to dress up like prostitutes at age 5 (like the Bratz). But she still brings up 2 things I cannot stand to see. Thing number one, the whole ultra greed craze where everyone has to have the best of everything, and max out their credit cards to get it. Thing number 2, this whole idea that kids have to grow up sooner than they need to. Cartoons are too childish now? Yeah, I know that we've gotten to the point where half the kids shows suck, but come on. If actual cartoons are too childish, how can a bunch of live actors fumbling and bumbling about worse than a cartoon is all the more mature? And the worst part is the network execs who think likewise.

Buslady, you almost sound like you were perfoming open-heart surgeries for living.

I can kinda see where BL is coming from only in this regard. There are people out there who provide vital and often difficult and time consuming services and get paid jack while people who act, sing, or play a sport for a living make more in a week then they'll make in their lifetimes. I'm more thinking about teachers, who educate these people, but get paid peanuts. Oh, well. I personally don't care for Miley because she's every where, that's my beef, the over-exposer of Hannah Montana.

You seem to be the ONLY one here Jester who understood my point!!! (oops, after reading the rest of the posts, you too DrTooth!)

That is exactly what I was saying. People who have the lives of others in their hands, who are responsible for others, their safety, (law enforcement, fire, even us lowly school bus drivers have lives in our hands)etc get paid jack while performers get paid millions to act stupid on a stage.
On a side note:
Teachers don't get paid enough, sooo true!!!!!
I will say folks in the medical profession are at least EARNING that gazillion bucks they deserve. 'course, it always seemed mom (RN) wasn't making enough. *sigh*
