I, too, immediately thought of Law and Order with the baseball birth certificate thing! :)
And I watched LoneStar, though I wasn't super impressed, I figure what the heck, I'll give it a shot. I kinda thought it was one of those things that if it gets awesome and everyone is like "I LOVE that show!", it would be a PITA to catch up on. :) (Just like how now, I am not a FNL watcher because I didn't start, and now there's so much to catch up on. Though I did start The Good Wife halfway through the season last year, mostly I hate starting in the middle.
And I also love the friendships on Grey's. WAY much moreso than the romances. Like last year(?) when Mere and Derek were planning a house, and she told Christina "that's your room". :)

I love the friendships, and I love Yang's romances. She gets the best men.
Speaking of Kinsey tweaking, there's a Red poster with a picture of Helen Mirren that almost had me drive off the road. Damn, woman.
Helen Mirren with a gun.
Vampire Sigourney Weaver.
Man, it's like I'm running Hollywood.
Huh. There is only one company authorized by the BBC to make official, full-size Daleks for sale to the public. They cost £2995. They also sell a full-size (on the outside, anyway) TARDIS for the same price.

I've gotten myself into a giggle spiral thanks to Billy Connolly comedy clips on YouTube. Ow. It hurts.
Randomly Gleened TV Tidbit:
The Waltons' house is still used as scenery at Warner Brothers. For example, it served as the Dragonfly Inn on Gilmore Girls.
I love hearing about repurposed sets. I know that RKO used the Magnificent Ambersons sets (which almost bankrupted them) for lots of the horror movies that Val Lewton did (which saved RKO).
Also, the original Frankenstein lab props were resused many, many times over the years, well into the 70s. I think they were even used in Young Frankenstein.
Go props and standing sets!
Never read anything to this effect. But I always assumed the original Dr. Who series repurposed sets from other BBC series, and that at least some of the stories were written around sets that were available.
