With Rob Lowe returning to
The
West Wing next week (a truly great development I never thought would happen), it got me thinking: what characters
from the past would I like to see come back on other shows? Here are my five:
- Will Tippin
(Alias): Yeah, I know, he actually is coming back, but that doesn't mean I can't list him. It would
have been good to see him more than a couple of times the past three years.
- Stephen Colbert (The Daily
Show): Sure I enjoy The Colbert Report, but I miss his segments on The Daily Show. Nobody does
This Week In God like he did.
- Any of the old ER cast: Carol, Doug, Benton, Jeanie, Susan.
Hell, do a real soap opera thing and have Dr. Greene come back from the dead. Wouldn't that be wild? (And if Noah Wyle
is going to do guest spots, can you at least bring him to the hospital?)
- Elliott (Will and
Grace): What, did Jack forget about the fact that he had a kid? If he's not back for the finale, that would be
lame.
- Andy Richter (Late Night With Conan O'Brien): There's just so much O'Brien mugging I can
take, and it wasn't half as annoying when he had Richter to play off of.
