tv web

i'm a huge fan of law & order. it's my televised drama addiction in much the same way that friends is my televised comedy addiction in much the same way that johnny depp is my cinematic addiction. and the great thing about law & order? between the three major series (original, criminal intent and svu), there's an amazing number of guest stars from other shows. so i've started looking at who guest stars, what other shows those stars have been on, and how large the web of interconnectivity is. and it's ridiculously fun. plus, i'm learning that it's pretty common to link any tv show to law & order in just two degrees (think the kevin bacon theory). i wish i could get a spreadsheeting program to work on my laptop, as i'm pretty sure that would make the character logging easier. but i may just have to move my focused efforts to my big mac. you know, for the sake of good research.

HA HA HA!! i would love to see that spreadsheet! Boz always gets bummed when he sees a big star on the show, "because you always know who the bad guy is gonna be" - or so he thinks!

L&O is BY FAR the greatest show, i can't tell you how many weekends I've spent on the couch watching those marathons. And while at your house the other weekend, i was reminded that they're on NETFLIX!! I know how I'm spending my fall.
