Scandal has a 7 episode run and I think I'm willing to give it at least a couple more airings if only cause it gives Josh Molina a little work.

I had to look up how old Liza Weil (the White House staffer) is because I was sure she was too old to play a naive 27 year old. Turns out she's only 34 but she played essentially the same character in 2000 in the West Wing. In that case she was the naive White House staffer who leaked the Chief of Staff's history as an alcoholic.

I squealed when I saw Josh Molina, always happy to see him working.

Oh nice recall there!! I missed that one.

I heard Josh Molina interviewed the other day and apparently he's in all 7 episodes. I keep looking for him to join the cast of Sorkin's new HBO show.

Our reaction to the first episode was "probably not", but then jwg added his standard "But I want to give it another chance to see if there's any character development", which probably means we're in for the whole 7. My problem is that I don't find any of the characters interesting enough to care if they "develop".

And we already watch too much stuff - and now there is the baseball problem. We recort\ded the Ken Burns Civil War a year and haven't watched it.

I hear you both. I was surprised, after thinking about it, how the show manages to make all those characters who could be so interesting, not.

And the baseball factor is really a problem - especially now that I have this TiVo on steroids. The Mariners have Easter Sunday off. A weird scheduling tweak but at least I have today to do kind of catch up with the critical things...
