it's kind of pathetic that I am basing my morning wakeups around watching west wing reruns on Bravo...but I stopped watching regularly in college, so I'm catching up quite nicely.

I am the king of getting interested and caught up in television shows well after the popularity in pop culture has expired.

I enjoyed West Wing around election time. They showed all the election shows in four-hour blocks.

Aren't you taking Grad classes in business?

That happened to me with LA Law and at least one other show.

How come it hasn't made the syndication run? I would think it's the prototype show for syndication success. I never saw a single ep of 30. Would I watch now? LA Law has disappeared. St. Elsewhere used to be on every other cable network. I never watched lots of shows that may have potential. I just watched about a dozen Lou Grants on Hulu. Then I went to Mary Tyler Moore. I'm gonna write a compare/contrast for Freshman Lit. I think I'm becoming a closet homophobe due to Sunday Night ABC. -------------------- rule #16: if someone thinks they have the upper hand, break it. ~Leroy Jethro Gibbs

30 something had a 4 or 5 years run. the problem is hour long dramas don't do very well in syndication. Although you would think one of the what is it 3 maybe 4 womens programing networks would air it.

Lot of the actors from it appear on Brothers and Sisters because Ken Olin is a producer of the show. Same thing happened with Alias which he also produced.

I now speak in 1.5 cadence and Toby is my new hero. That show really took a turn when Sorkin left.

BB, I couldn't make it through 2 seasons. I gave it a fair shake
Sorkin annoys the piss out of me. Great dialog. Too bad no one talks that way. Sorry Mac.

Mel's newest 5/16/12 - I'd kibosh Pierce for the 2 games in Philly and hope the week off helps him for Game 5.

Smo, can I fire Coughlin NOW??

Slomo - Dec 19 2011 - I would say absolutely but you know they are going to win their last two games to mess with you.
