I have to say that I enjoy him tremendously, but West Wing sorta lost me when he took over for Aaron Sorking.

Wildfire Girl · 03-19-2009, 07:55 PM

There were a lot of those I never watched, I'll admit. I did a bit of West Wing, but not much.

**sunnykerr** · 03-19-2009, 07:58 PM

I'm sure he didn't miss us all that much.

**Yellow Mustang Girl** · 03-20-2009, 11:21 AM

Was Gay asking about this thread? Maybe she'll be back

Wildfire Girl · 03-21-2009, 03:08 PM

She was.

**sunnykerr** · 03-22-2009, 07:15 PM

Maybe some of us, who seem to know her/him, could find her/him?

Wildfire Girl · 03-25-2009, 06:57 AM

I guess I could send her a pm?

**sunnykerr** · 03-25-2009, 07:56 PM

Well, it certainly would be awkward if I did...

Wildfire Girl · 03-26-2009, 07:33 AM

Okay okay okay ....

Quote:

From Emmy Award winners John Wells, Ann Biderman and Chris Chulack comes a raw and authentic look at a police unit in Los Angeles. From the beaches of Malibu to the streets of East Los Angeles, "Southland" is a fast-moving drama that will take viewers inside the lives of cops, criminals, victims and their families.

Michael Cudlitz ("A River Runs Through It") plays John Cooper a seasoned Los Angeles cop, assigned to train young rookie Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie, "The O.C."). Cooper's honest, no-nonsense approach to the job leaves Sherman questioning whether or not he has what it takes to become a police officer.

Cudlitz and McKenzie are joined by other cast members, including Regina King ("Ray," “Jerry Maguire”), who plays Detective Lydia Adams. Adams lives with and is the primary caregiver of her mother. Her partner, Detective Russell Clarke (Tom Everett Scott, "Boiler Room") is an unhappily married father of three. Michael McGrady ("The Thin Red Line") plays Detective Daniel "Sal" Salinger. Sal oversees fellow gang detectives Nate Moretta (Kevin Alejandro, "Drive," "Ugly Betty") and Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy, "Alpha Dog"). Arija Bareikis (“Crossing Jordan”) plays patrol officer Chickie Brown, a single mom who dreams of being the first woman accepted into SWAT.

"Southland" is a John Wells Production in association with Warner Bros. Television. Wells, Chulack and Biderman serve as executive producers. Biderman is the creator and Chulack will also serve as director of the series.

Well, you know they're looking for this show to do awesome ratings-wise right out of the gate.

Hence the massive exposure.

So, hopefully, it does okay and it stays around.

Wildfire Girl · 04-08-2009, 01:28 PM

Agreed. I started a thread for it over at the TV Board. Wasn't sure it was 'necessary' here unless you all want one. I still haven't decided if I'm watching. Got too many shows now!

**sunnykerr** · 04-08-2009, 06:55 PM

I think I will. I think I'll try, anyway. Ben McKenzie and the guy from Standoff? Yeah, I'll definitely try.
