After -- it's the 4th.

We had good seats for Vegas -- but we've got EXCELLENT seats for Chicago. (I wish I'd known you were interested -- I totally would have just sold you the tickets.)

Oh thanks! That would have been cool. Though my whole trip to Vegas was very up in the air until this week. Was I going? Wasn't I going? How long would I be staying? Where would I be staying? What would I be doing while I was there? It made me dizzy.

But! All's well that ends well!

More about "The Way," courtesy of Zap2it.com:

Written by Adam Kulakow, the pilot [for CBS] follows a crime family that turns to witchcraft to keep its hold on power following the death of its matriarch.

Huh. So that's where the "Sopranos" part comes in. I was wondering.

Also, for you "Joan of Arcadia" fans out there:

At CBS, "Joan of Arcadia" creator Barbara Hall will write and executive produce "Ultra," the showbiz trade papers report. Based on the Image Comics title, it's about a young woman whose search for the right guy is complicated by the fact that she's a superhero. David Engel and David Alpert are co-exec producers.

I guess, if you had to shorthand it, you could say it's "Sex and the City"-meets-"Wonder Woman." Couldn't you? You could, right?

Cast! Amber! Tamblyn!

She'd make a good superhero.

I think Amber is making movies now, and more power to her--my little Emily Quartermaine (although in theory, I agree with you Gris, as she's so watchable, I'd give any show of hers a go).

eta...

Where's Narrator?

Narrator,

We've just started watching Cold Case. As of Sunday's episode (which may have been a re-run) The One True Carly Manning seems to be a cast member or recurring. She's got really dark hair now, so it took me about 3 minutes of saying, "I know her. I know her. I know her." Then she flared her nostrils and I shouted out Sarah Brown !

I know nothing about "Ultra" (or comic books, in general), so I've no idea if AT would be perfect casting. I will say, though, I'm willing to give "Ultra" a try, should it make it to series.

Her IMDB has a rather small collection of known future roles on it, and it doesn't look like she's a large role in either. I'm sure she'd sign on for another Emmy opportunity at this point.

Though I also want The Second Summer of the Sisterhood so bad it hurts, but that's beside the point.

Written by Adam Kulakow, the pilot [for CBS] follows a crime family that turns to witchcraft to keep its hold on power following the death of its matriarch.

So they're turning "Guise will be Guise" into a series, then? Huh.

I guess, if you had to shorthand it, you could say it's "Sex and the City"-meets-"Wonder Woman." Couldn't you? You could, right?

Or, you know, Buffy?

Or, you know, Buffy?

I would've said "Buffy," but I was afraid someone would dispute her being classified as super-hero(ine).

Still reserving judgment on "The Way." It may not even make it to series, so why bother?

not a Soap Opera, but close:

Oprah's show with Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger. Heath is pretty adorable about how much he is in love with Michelle and his daughter.

It just has to be said.
