I remember when there were back-to-back reruns of L&O ‘the original’ on A&E everyday. I was so obsessed that I printed out the episode descriptions and highlighted each title as it aired, keeping track of how many I had seen. One summer in high school when I participated in a mock-trial program in D.C., after delivering my ‘opening statement’ I was asked by the ‘judge’ if I watched Law & Order. Clearly my TV-watching paid off!
It really is (was?) a brilliant show, and I’m grateful that it ‘gave birth’ to L&O: SVU. NBC Execs BEWARE: You mess with my SVU, you mess with me!

Makes me want to move to Manhattan every time.
I’d hate to burst your bubble, but you’ll never catch the Cash Cab. They cast for the show. I was cast for the show, along with a friend. They put you through this clever ruse where they tell you you’re going to be on a different show, then hail a cab for you to go to the filming location, and lo and behold, it’s the Cash Cab!
I saw right through it, though. I was telling people before it happened that I was going to be in the Cash Cab.
And no, we didn’t win. We got kicked out 3 blocks from our destination with $550. Tragic.
Oh man… my sister is going to be SO disappointed.
What a great show…is it still on?! Amidst my House, SVU, Glee, SYTYCD, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bored to Death, Gossip Girl, Intervention, Real Housewives, Lie to Me, Mad Men madness (yes I have all those shows in my series manager), I hadn’t noticed if it’s on!
On Monday night I witnessed this quirky, feisty, ever-sexy woman making The Beacon quiver with her angelic voice and her seductively poetic songs. If you’re not yet familiar, become familiar.

My shrink once quoted this to me….
This new model suggests that it’s a mistake to understand these “risk” genes only as liabilities. Yes, this new thinking goes, these bad genes can create dysfunction in unfavorable contexts—but they can also enhance function in favorable contexts. The genetic sensitivities to negative experience that the vulnerability hypothesis has identified, it follows, are just the downside of a bigger phenomenon: a heightened genetic sensitivity to all experience…
…This is a transformative, even startling view of human frailty and strength. For more than a decade, proponents of the vulnerability hypothesis have argued that certain gene variants underlie some of humankind’s most grievous problems: despair, alienation, cruelties both petty and epic. The orchid hypothesis accepts that proposition. But it adds, tantalizingly, that these same troublesome genes play a critical role in our species’ astounding success.
