"Help, I'm being held prisoner in a complaint box"

Taking a break from prepping stuff for tomorrow's class - thanks to forgetting my keys, I can't inside my office, where all of my previously prepared [read: stuff from last year] course materials are - to post a rhetorical question about the new TV shows I've been watching tonight [the remote doesn't work, so I've been watching NBC all night].

When you get a starring role on network television, does that automatically mean you get to bring in past co-stars in guest cameos?

In Bionic Woman tonight, there were a string of distinct appearances from BSG actors, and in the pseudo-cop-show Life, one of the key witnesses was Michael Cudlitz, who was one of the sergeants in Band of Brothers alongside Life star Damien Lewis. Maybe I'm just making a big deal out of this, but if Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith show up in tomorrow night's Earl, then I claim dibs on a groundbreaking theorum.

Bionic Woman was actually a damn good show, and I think it'll be the new show I start watching this year. I tend to pick two primetime shows each TV season - one drama, one comedy - that I watch through the end of the season. Last year was Heroes and Knights of Prosperity, the year before was the Office/Earl comedy hour and Invasion (I never said I picked good shows).
