Vortex, I was just watching that a few nights ago! It's a great show. Mostly etymology, which is always fun, but interspersed with spots of celebrities talking about their favourite word beginning with whichever letter the show is dealing with that week.

9 pm Wednesday always seems to get like that. At one point I was watching West Wing, taping the OC and downloading Angel. All at Wednesday 9 pm.

I have less of a problem, as I don't get UPN and have to wait for DVD's (my downloading situation has changed) for Veronica Mars

Either that, or it's hospital policy.

It was just a silly choice to have them in Baltimore. Why not Chicago, or LA, or anywhere that that very cromulent question wouldn't come up?

Tuesday at nine was like that this fall as well. House, TAR, Earl, something else I disremember, probably because I never got to see it.

My Name is Earl has been moved to Thursdays at 9.

I've been surprised by how much I like Bones -- after a first couple episodes, it figured out that the supporting characters are kind of neat and started doing good stuff with them.

I was watching the repeats while GG were repeating and enjoying them. I suppose I will do the same at the new time slot when VM and Lost are in repeats.

ita -- I agree it would be very obvious for Waking the Dead to kill off a main character at the end of every season. Perhaps, the character can be so wounded that he's not on active duty next season ?

Wasn't is a meeting with a Federal someone or other? DC area makes the mosts sense for that. Although it was rather irrelevant to the plot and could have been changed, one would think.

It was with Medicare billing.

I wish Jesse were here! Interview with Roger Clark the lovable shlub from NY1: [link]

Mr. Clark chose Syracuse University after he learned that Bob Costas, Marv Albert and Ted Koppel had gone there. He arrived on campus in the fall of 1985, which is approximately when his affirmative vocabulary seems to have frozen (common responses to interviewees and editors include “swell,” “neat-o” and “cool beans”; he will curse occasionally, but only when no one’s listening).

Adorkable!

That's exactly how I feel about it: not must-see, but enjoyable to just sit down and catch when I do. Which is why I'll probably handle it the way sumi is. But it's another mark against Fox (not like they haven't hit critical mass on my list anyway).
