"...With the departure of Aaron Sorkin, The West Wing is losing its creator and primary writer -- rather fitting, since the show has already lost its direction, critical buzz, 22 percent of its audience and its marbles....

"Of course, NBC's other franchise -- the mammoth, unstoppable juggernaut of Law & Order-themed programming -- continues to thrive, ceaselessly beating its paddles toward the shores of prime-time dominance. There's Law & Order: Original Flavor, of course, and Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Law & Order: Chunky-Style, I think -- all going strong no matter how many cast members Dick Wolf throws over the side. Also returning to Monday nights is Third Watch, which isn't a Law & Order spin-offs -- Law & Order: Vanilla? Law & Order: Now with Firemen? Law & Order: Bosco's Revenge? -- though it very well could be, were it not very interesting and if people weren't stunningly indifferent toward it."

I love you, teevee.org.

Mom likes to make a bowl of mashed potatoes and watch the lunchtime repeat.

I'd rather watch bad West Wing than any Law & Order any night. But as I said in another post, I know I have no taste. I'm deathly allergic to Jerry orbach anyway.

N.B. Do not leave a chat with Gina and Andrea in order to watch Law and Order. Do not try to further justify your departure by saying "But it's Criminal Intent! That's the best one!" The will yell at you in CAPSLOCK and mock-fury.

NO! How dare they! If it were Sports Utility Vehicle or Original Recipe, I could see getting pissed, but Dude, Criminal Intent 0WNZ0RZ!
