That was a brilliant show! Oh I love Privileged! But since I'm tuning in from Canada, I don't think I contribute to the ratings. Let's hope it'll pick up a bit when it returns in 2 weeks.

You are so right! He was in the big 'election' episode that I just watched. My Bad :) Todd W in NC, This week was the first episode of HEROES I ever missed, and you know what, I find myself more than fine with it! Marisa, IN TREATMENT is Dead. It was originally picked up for a second season, only to be dropped when a new regime took over HBO. Krystal, Sorry! Linda B.

Todd W in NC,

Marisa,
IN TREATMENT is Dead. It was originally picked up for a second season, only to be dropped when a new regime took over HBO.

Krystal,
Sorry!

The other day I was thinking how nice it would be for The West Wing to return. You wouldn't have to remake it, just resume it. In TWW universe, elections are two years offset from real life. So, they could re-start the show in 2010, showing the re-election campaign of Pres. Matt Santos. Either he wins, and the "new" show is about Santos's 2nd term, or his opponent wins, and the show takes on a Republican spin. Don't groan over that. Democrats aren' perfect either, and Jed Bartlett was idealistic by anyone's standards. The new show could be about an idealistic Rep. president. I'm watching reruns of TWW on Bravo and of The Practice on FX. Comparing those excellent shows to today's TV depresses me. Remember when NBC was still classy enough to have a show like TWW? Right now, I have a 3-strikes policy going with Ugly Betty, Brothers & Sisters, Fringe, and maybe even Life on Mars, and they're all surviving so far. The quality of TWW and Practice, however, is tempting me to stop wasting time and just drop those three or four shows immediately. I'm going to be more lenient with Sanctuary though, because it's made by the Stargate producers, and sci-fi shows typically need more time to germinate. Oh, no spoilers, but after one thing that happened on this week's Heroes - - Strike One !!! It’s funny that someone asked about The West Wing.

Unfortunately, it seems that anytime the public is offered something "intelligent" to watch, they inevitably choose mindless reality crap instead. I'm embarrassed to live in such a society.
