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.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

I don't get the thing about Foreman's name.

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.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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?
