I sometimes think about Eugene Levy (Tobey) and CC Pounder (CJ) almost castings--what could have been--would've been interesting--but -- (edited) - Flavorize Jul 31, 22:46 4
- In the same vein--I think Studio 60 should've worked--honestly, I think the Sarah Paulson casting killed that show. -- nm - Flavorize Jul 31, 22:52 3
  - Sorkin's unhealthy concepts of relationships killed that show. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 1, 05:15 2

      - Let's just say that if Hardwick-style stories came out about Sorkin...it would register a 0.1 on the Shocked Face Meter. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 1, 06:06
Or someone's from Idaho -- nm* - . Jul 31, 21:44 8
- Isn’t a Bartlett a type of potato? - Beryllium Jul 31, 21:46 7
  - also a pear and a book of quotes. do they grow pears or quip in Idaho? -- nm - mafic Jul 31, 22:08 1
    - quip by the bushelfull -- nm - Beryllium Jul 31, 22:24
