Glory ,'Potential'
This thread is an experiment to discern the Buffistas' interests in television discussion. It will close on June 1st, 2007, after which our community will assess our future direction. Discuss network aired drama here. [NAFDA]
Kurtwood Smith already showed up this season as the father of Dave Matthews.
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.
I don't get the thing about Foreman's name.
(me neither)
Eric Foreman is the same name as Topher Grace's character on That 70s Show. Whose father is played by Kurtwood Smith.
Oh, OK. I've never watched that show, so that explains it.
Are you talking about Kathryn Erbe? She has a 10 year old daughter and a 4 year old son.
Her pregnancy with the four year old was written into the show. Her character was serving as a surrogate mother for her sister. That's kind of bizarre, but better than a season of file folders and closeups of her face. The character even used the pregnancy to get witnesses and suspects to talk to her.
I started watching L&O:CI when Erbe was pregnant, and I don't think I've seen many of the others. It weirds me when I tune in and Goren has a different partner.
Over in the comedy arena, My Name is Earl 's Jaime Lee Presley's real-life pregnancy was written in as Joyce surrogating for her half-sister. (If anything, prego-Joyce is even funnier than usual.)
Anyone watching tonight's CSI?
