New TV Thingies
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2004 3:31 PM
First, Third Watch has driven me to ranting.

Also the new fall network television season is getting started, although of course ABC, NBC, and FOX are on their hoity toity 52 week seasons, which seem to be defined so far by throwaway shows in the summer and average ones as usual the rest of the year. There are only a couple of conflicts that I have to work out.

MSNBC had a good rundown of the dramas and the comedies. My only question is why was Joey's Drea de Matteo (31) okay with playing mom to a kid (almost 26) who's five years younger than her in real life and whose character is 20 years old? I'm confused.
