Channel Surfing for Friday, October 20

No longer satisfied from ripping from headlines, "Law & Order" is now ripping from shows that air on the same network. What's next, ripping stories from Jay Leno's "Headlines"?

Law & Order
9 p.m., NBC

It’s not just “ripped from the headlines” — it’s shades of “Dateline NBC” series “To Catch a Predator” when Green (Jesse L. Martin) and Cassady (Milena Govich) investigate the death of a man who was identified by a TV newsmagazine as a pedophile who trolled the Internet for victims.

I really enjoy that picture of Jesse L. Martin because it looks like he just smelled something gross.

There's some other stuff tonight - the return of "Extreme Makeover" (I think) and also "Battlestar Galactica." The people who haven't dug the New Caprica story will like this episode, I think. Or not. Whiners. Read here.

Your quip about L&O ripping from Jay Leno's headlines made me smile. Not because the idea is ridiculous, but because it would actually make the show good again. Well maybe not good, but about as entertaining as "Cop Rock," which is all we can ask for. Keep up the awesome work!
