The May 12th issue of EW has an article on the development of The West Wing with contributions from Sorkin, Wells, Schlamme, Janney, Maloney, Schiff, Sheen, and Whitford. It's an interesting (and nostalgic) read about how the show came to be and the casting process for the key players.

My thoughts on what they all have to say... )

Don't forget! The cast is on Ellen tomorrow!

Unrelated, on the flight home from TX I read the Anderson Cooper memoir excerpt in the current issue of Vanity Fair and, oh, my heart. He carries so many burdens - even ones that aren't his to bear alone. I'm definitely going to see out the book.

(This statement about Katrina struck me: Some 20,000 people took refuge in the Superdome, told to come by the city's mayor, who called it a shelter of last resort. He'd hoped that help would arrive from the state or federal government within two days. It didn't. Hope is not a plan. Even if you don't read the memoir, I highly recommend the excerpt in Vanity Fair. It's all about Katrina and how that unleashed issues related to his father's death and brother's suicide.)

The rest of the plan for the night, in no particular order, is dinner, a house_notice update, and Criminal Minds. It's the season finale with a well publicized cliff hanger. Summer hiatus may kill me. Thank god for new SGA in July.
