Law & Order

Does anyone watch L&O?

Any comments on this season's new characters?

I never watch it. I get more than enough of the "law" at work and those shows druive me wild with their inaccuracies. the L&O franchise is one of the best, but just nto for me.

I haven't watched in several years. Does Sam Waterston still losing the majority of his cases? That seemed to have been the trend on the few shows that I have watched over the years.

That is funny- I feel the same way.

Not to change the topic, but a former missionary companion of mine who is now an ER doctor says the same thing about the tv show ER.

Today's Hollywood wants us to think they know what it's all about, be it shows about law, medicine, or whatever. Funny how it's the only one who hasn't figured out that it doesn't get it, eh?

Hold up. I just realized something. There ARE no shows about libraries! This is clearly an oversight on the part of hollywood producers. What could be more dramatic than a show about librarians?

I think I'll make a pitch next week.

Pardon me, Lisa, but I do recall a certain "Music Man" in which one of the main characters was a small town Librarian named Marian, otherwise known as Shirley Jones.

Now Physical Therapists, there's a profession you don't see featured on too many Hollywood blockbusters.

I've learned one valuable lesson from Law and Order. Never under any circumstances answer any question any police officer or detective asks you.

True, so true. "Marian the Librarian." And the wife in It's a Wonderful Life was a librarian.

The co-star in the Mummy was also a librarian, as was BatGirl.

(Don't get me started, I could go on like this for days. People actually do PhD theses on the "portrayal of the librarian in modern media.")

But a rivetting primetime drama? Based in the stacks? hmm...

I believe FOX actually tried a similar theme with a Pamela Anderson running a bookstore (see Stacked)...amazing it lasted the twenty episodes.


PT? I'll have to think on that one. Might be tough to get the required primetime sexiness factor with all the aging arthritic patients...
