Not that anyone is surprised by Republican
Fred Thompson's entry into the Presidential race today, but his decision to announce his candidacy on Leno is
raising some eyebrows, especially since he skipped a Republican debate to do so--and aired an attack ad against the other candidates that aired before the debate. But that's not the only television related snafu facing the former
Law & Order actor. While NBC made the decision Saturday to no longer air episodes of
L&O in which Thompson appears,
TNT plans to continue airing episodes, in spite of concerns that this could infringe on equal airtime rules for candidates.
If the world were a cooler place, this would lead to a ruling that every Presidential candidate get their own cable drama. Don't you think it would be great to see Kiera Sedgwick get Hillary Clinton as her new partner on
The Closer? What hijinks will ensue after Mitt Romney moves next to Bill Paxton and his brood on
Big Love? And for some reason, I kind of want to see Barrack Obama on
The L Word.
How can we make this happen? What show should Kucinich be on?
