I sometimes watch CI, and usually watch SVU. I'm almost certain that this week's episode (teenage girl in foster care, turns out she's actually in her late twenties and has been running away and showing up in a new city as a homeless sixteen-year-old, getting back into the foster care system there, then running away again just before her "eighteenth birthday," for years) had the exact same story as one from a few years ago. Different crime leading to the cops finding her (in the old one, I think she'd murdered a teacher who'd recognized her from an old school), but it was the exact same backstory.

But I think that was one of the other L&Os. Now they're not only trading guest stars back and forth and ripping off the headlines, they're cannibalizing each other.

Art Crawl!!!
Over at TWOP people are talking about rumors that Jericho might show up on TNT. I don't have any idea whether these rumors are based in any sort of reality.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
I keep expecting Kurtwood Smith to show up and call him a dumbass everytime they call him "Foreman".
Kurtwood Smith already showed up this season as the father of Dave Matthews. I don't remember if he had any scenes with Foreman and I think I remember being disappointed he didn't have any with Wilson.

I'd completely fogotten that. I do remember at the time I was floored because he WASN'T playing a hardass dad for once. I don't think the "Eric Foreman" thing pinged me then for some reason (and I completely missed the DPS reference - D'oh!!!).

I totally remember when we first found out [House] Foreman's name. Because That 70's Show was still on the freaking air. And on the same network.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Eric Foreman is the same name as Topher Grace's character on That 70s Show. Whose father is played by Kurtwood Smith.
