A lede and a doctor I can't resist
My favorite story of the week, from the Post.
LOS ANGELES. She enters the room in a knit that fits, the kind of dress with a place for everything. Lipstick the color of a valentine. The doors to the balcony are thrown open and she exhales, "Great, I can smoke," and pulls one from the pack and you think, carbon monoxide might not be so bad. She was raised Mormon, but she's drinking coffee by the gallon, and for the next hour Katherine Heigl is happy to ride the buzz and talk about raunchy jokes, humorless shrews, breast size and God's infinite mysteries.
I'm really lucky, you know. I could never date a smoker, so it's fortunate Katherine Heigl's married and, you know, a Hollywood starlet. So, I can spend my time enjoying the story instead of getting her to quit. I'm fortunate indeed! Oh, Katherine Heigl.
Of all my shows on strike, if only one could return, Grey's Anatomy is probably the one that would pacify me the most. Grey's is the only drama I watch — and with Maura Tierney working at a different network's hospital, that's saying something. But Grey's is also the only hour-long show I watch. In a strike world, size may matter.
My favorite show on TV is probably 30 Rock. And Tina Fey is only the beginning of my love for it. 30 Rock may be the best show within basic cable. The Office has fallen from the top spot. For all the Schrute Bucks the last two years have earned, who remembers the plot this year? Anyone? Scranton? But back to my point here. 30 Rock is half an hour, and that's not enough. In a strike world, if you give a mouse a recording, he'll want a Now Playing List. Half an hour of new television just makes me miss the other part of the hour.

Oh, god. I, too, would do most anything in exchange for a few new episodes of Greys. Oh, and The Office. I'm quite the Dunder Mifflinite.

Fine! If you're willing to anything, I hear Christina needs another intern. You get to be Intern E.

[...] That's right, damn it. I don't know what to say. I'll repeat myself that it's the most fulfilling, exacting show of any I watch. Just finished watching on time-shifting. Won't say any details here for my [...]
