Rob Lowe and Sam is the reason why I statrted watching the show, and why I stayed watching the show. I adored him and the show lost something pure when he left. When NASA basically shuttered I always remembered this. It's just beautiful and inspiring.

Oh my gosh, the welfare episode!!! No one, NO ONE!!, I know likes this show, so there have been a few times I have tried explaining why it is so very funny and I always use the welfare episode. Unfortunately, just the memory of it makes me laugh so hard that I am literally crying I am lauging so much and now my friends think I'm a complete whack-job.

Watching L&O now on TNT (why do they always seem to replay the same episodes??). Briscoe and Logan were my favorite pairing, closely followed by Briscoe and Green. The beauty queen cop (what the hell was her name), was easily the worst cop they had. I can't even comperhend why TPTB went that route. I mean I didn't particularly care for Fontana but I still got it: great actor, interesting history, trying to bring back a little of the gravitas lost when Lenny left; but I never understood what the point of her was. My favorite AADA's where easily Robinette and Carmichael, closely followed by Ross. WHat I saw of Rubirosa (I kind of faded out towards the end) she seemed really good. Claire.... I don't remember her getting on my last damn nerve in the first-run, but jeez, that character ddin't not age well. And I find I'm constantly distracted by her god-awful ill-fitting suit jackets. I guarantee the character was supposed to make more than what I earn and I know enough to get things adjusted! And Southerlyn.... I just can't. JUst no. And she's on most of the episodes that have my favorite DA! Which leads to an extremely unpolular opinion (UO).... Branch is my favorite DA! Yes I know, what about Schiff? Schiff, who never seemed to meet a deal he didn't like. He just came across (to me at least)as (mostly) not willing to actually stand up for something, just make a deal to get the win. Drove me nuts. Nora, great actress, horrifically miscast.

I absolutely loved Amy!!! I think I read somewhere that Peppard din't think a woman should be a part of the main cast and over time got the rest of the guys to turn against. Loving Hannibal, that just makes me sad. Face and Amy are ny favorite characters!!

I love Wayne Brady! He's actually my favorite on this show and I wish he had his own sitcom, I'd watch that in a heartbeat.

Wow, just here a couple of days and I'm starting a topic! One of my absolute favorite topics/forums from TWOP is discussing how race and/or ethnicity is reflected (or not reflected) in television. While I hardly ever contributed to the discussion, I loved reading the various opinions and debates that others engaged in. Hopefully those members will find this and continue contributing to my education (I've seen a couple of them pop up on here already).
