According to the entertainment reporter over at
Fox News, actor Bradley Whitford "almost" got the role as the new Assistant District Attorney on
Law & Order. Sam Waterston is
vacating that position to play the District Attorney, now that actor Fred Thompson is
leaving the show to run for president.
Everybody got that? Good.

NBC was kind enough to make the new Dick Wolf procedural
drama,
Conviction, available for free
on iTunes before it airs on
Friday night. So, I took advantage. I'm just going to give you my general thoughts on the program. There will be NO
SPOILERS HERE.
If you like
Law and Order, you will probably like
Conviction. There are a
lot of characters on the show who will make for some great storylines that will no doubt be driven by the criminals and
crime victims. It looks as though we'll be getting two storylines an episode, instead of just one, like the usual Dick
Wolf procedural dramas.
