Originality is Overrated

"I drink Dr. Pepper and I'm proud
I'm part of an original crowd..."

Dr. Vegas could learn a little something from that soft drink ditty.

Dr. Vegas?

Oh yeah. Rob Lowe takes on Vegas...cuz there aren't enough shows set there already. (CSI - the original, and Las Vegas, natch.)

Me thinks that Lowe is hoping to cash in on Duhamel's success as Danny McCoy. I mean, after all, he is the older version of Josh, isn't he?

The only thing promising about Dr. Vegas is Joey Pants, as his boss. CBS should do themselves a favor and scrap the rip-off, sell Pantoliano's contract to NBC, and let him have some fun with James Caan....leaving Rob Lowe to play a pretty corpse on CSI. That'd be the right thing to do, and the tasty way to do it*.

* Bonus points for anyone who knows who said that.

P.S. The answer to the question asked here was mountain lion.

I don't know who said that, so no bonus points here. But I must admit to a secret lust for Rob Lowe. Oh I know, he's just a pretty boy, but he's so pretty, and a bit sleazy after the stuff in Atlanta at the Convention all those years ago...

Honey....you're breakin' my heart.
At least when we go out to play sometime we won't be fighting over the same guys:)

erm. uhm. err... loss for words. i was going to say, hers' hoping that the show'll be good. but sadly, am not sure. that it will... on the bright side, at least it's not another reality tv show ;o)

Wilford Brimley is correct.

And Sondra, you can HAVE Rob Lowe. I haven't liked him since...oh....Oxford Blues or so.

Oh, so I suppose since I am not the first one to note the Wilford Brimley connection that I am out of the running for bonus points?

*sniffle*
GIMME MY DAMN COOKIE ALREADY!
