Top 10 TV References to Vegetarianism and Animal Rights: Part 3
On Monday we counted down from 10 to 6.
Come Wednesday we kept the ball rolling with numbers 5 through 2.
And today … drum roll … we have a few runners up who deserve honorable mention while we await the announcement of Living Without Meat’s selection for the numero uno, top banana of all vegetarian and animal-friendly moments to grace the TV airways in 2007.
Yes, it is true: I am making you wait at least one more day before I reveal number one on my year-end, Veg-related TV list.
* Kristen Bell - once known as Veronica Mars, former recipient of PETA’s elite status title Sexiest Vegetarian, and object of my heterosexual affection - was cast in lead, recurring role on Heroes. The superstar (in my eyes at least) was such a hot item after V.Mars ended, that she actually had to choose between offers. TV series Lost also lusted after K.Bell. Since her phenomenal episode with Mars Investigation didn’t occur in 2007, I had to find some way to work her into my list, right?
* Bob Barker’s retirement from The Price Is Right seemingly ironically makes this list of almost listers because as he stepped down, his vegetarianism, animal rights work, and constant reminder to “spay and neuter your pets” made headlines across the nation.
* One you may not have noticed, but deserves your attention is Nickelodeon’s Back at the Barnyard, a new, animated, talking animal show that picked up where the movie Barnyard left off. Word is that animal rights issue are never far from the farm.
* Margie reminds us that Lisa Simpson is still a vegetarian. Unfortunately her “coming out” episode wasn’t this year. But Margie had another great runner up as well: Days of Our Lives. “Sami and Lucas had a green wedding … using eggs from free range chickens in their cake and and all sorts of stuff.” Plus, people used to tell me that Sami looks like me.
