OK...it has only been 20 years, but it has felt like 100. It certainly has aired enough on every channel for 24/7 the last 20 years that it feels like it has been 100. NBC announced this week that the show has been canceled. Not really though. In its place, NBC is ordering a new drama, “Law & Order: Los Angeles,” moving the franchise to a place where there are presumably more murders to investigate.
More importantly, with the cancellation of this series comes the loss of thousands of jobs. Katherine Oliver, the commissioner of the Mayor's Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting, said that every year the show provided jobs to about 4,000 people, including one-day acting roles. Its spending totaled about $79 million annually, she said, including things like coffee and bagels, weight loss products, boom microphones and duct tape. During its 20-year run, that impact amounted to as much as $1 billion or more, she said.

When Dogs Appear On Television
For some reason morning shows, and the other cheeseball shows women watch during the day like to have the same kinds of guests all the time. Chefs, animal breeders, sex doctors, people that tell you how to exercise and how to reduce belly fat, etc.
When they bring on animals you never know what you are going to get. Sometimes they do nothing, but most of the time they are there to do something funny, and then you totally disregard anything the "expert is saying. Regis and Kelly had one recently that did just that.

Dr. Conrad Murray (MJ's Doctor) Saves Airline Passenger
Well...drop all charges. Dr. Murray is a hero. According to TMZ.com the good doctor rushed to the aid of an airline passenger after she passed out. Apprently ths was a serious health concern, although I am no doctor so I guess I will just say good job at being a doctor, doctor.
The story is odd because she says he told her, "You probably know me ... I was Michael Jackson's doctor.". I wonder if later she was given some advice on the best fat burners, or pain killers.
