The Week in Journalism:
Rough week. I ended up working to nearly the last minute on that damn flood anniversary piece. Eventually, my editor gave me the good advice of just presenting it in a day-by-day style.

Se…

I'm counting it as.

They renewed The Mick, Lethal Weapon and Star. Plus, Son of Zorn wrapped and Lea Michelle is leaving Scream Queens (which is dead anyway, but easy points).

Seriously, I feel like the Limitless fans could pull a Cagney & Lacey right about now.

Yeah, a documentary of that cast eating lunch would have been particularly fascinating.

Meryl Streep in a Murder, She Wrote-style show needs to happen in about 10 more years.

I mean, I do like the idea of giving 100 points for leftovers, but it's a little late in the game for that.

This has been an absurdly busy week for CL, what with the hullabaloo at Fox.

No — 825 points.
700 for dead after two airings
15 for being replaced by another show's rerun
110 (10 points each) for the remaining episodes

Argh! I am so sick of "… and he/she's an asshole!" dramas.

Kristen Vigard! Nearly was Annie! Got fired from two prominent soap opera roles, once because of "attendance issues," the other because she showed up with an extreme hairdo (I want to say it was a shaved head).

And it goes back to her Broadway days, too.

Continental, man, Continental. They really move their tails for you.

Oh, I already counted it as dead long ago. This is just giving meat to anyone who had it.

+100, anyone who had Queens in CL. C'mon, Lea was just as much a draw to the show as Jamie Lee Curtis or Emma Roberts.

So he's not taking the morning train, working from nine to five all day, taking another one again, to find Sheena Easton waiting for him?

"Why Should I Worry" is a cool song, but it has no real ending, just Billy howling and cooing for a minute or so. I am fond of the section, "Ev'rything goes/Ev'rything fits/They love me at the Chelsea/They adore me at the Ritz".

That reminds me of how much fun we had watching Tony Danza tap dance in the musical version.

Jurasik also played Zena's husband on Taxi.
