I used to work for this incredibly stiff partner -- the kind of Yalie who, upon meeting my husband, almost immediately asked where he went to school-- who must have been a big theater fan. He had a huge signed cast photo of some show starring Jessica Walter. I always laughed walking into his office about the Seaward staring at him all day.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

She's good in Ghost Town, which I recommend.
Noted. And thanks!

I miss Tea Leoni
Earlier this week, I stumbled across the last half hour of Deep Impact while channel-surfing. Pesonally, I think her performance is the weakest of the entire ensemble--I much prefer watching Vanessa Redgrave or Omar Sharif during her family angst scenes.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Tea was always a much better at comedy than drama.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, but when do you not prefer to watch Vanessa Redgrave or Omar Sharif? Talk about stacking the deck.

True! But in almost every scene she was in, she was outmatched by those on the screen with her, from Morgan Freeman to the guy who played her boss (I can't remember his name offhand, but he was on Mick on Hill Street Blues) to Laura what's-her-face from ER.

Bruce Weitz...love Bruce Weitz.Although when I see him, i'm mostly all "Look..Belker." anyways. "You bite one guy and they never let you forget it." And "House" totally ripped off "Captain Freedom" this year...bastards, at least they stole from the best, right? All Buffistas need to see at least that much Hill Street, okay? y'all have to see Mick Belker and Captain Freedom, because that's just so "Fandom geek(idealist) meets Real Life"...it just kills me.And, yet, it's funny enough to go in Comedy.

I remember watching the pilot of Hill Street Blues when it was first broadcast, and having a major WTF?!? moment when the show ended with Bobby and Andy being shot.

wrod...on the commentaries somebody said that they did it thinking they wouldn't be coming back.(one of them was supposed to die.) Also, on another one of those commentaries, I learned that some of those actors hated the actor that played Captain Freedom because he never took the suit off or allowed them to call him his name...Weitz took it in stride, though.

Vic Hitler, the narcoleptic comic. I remember Hill Street.
Damn, has that started coming out on DVD yet? Can't imagine what a complete series set would cost for that, or when I'd get the time to watch it again.
