How to Know Drama

My friend Adam Noble (no relation to Donna Noble) mentioned that the perfect title for the new Jay Leno show would be Anyone Remember When I Was Funny?

NBC is all but capitulating dramas. Last night Caroline and I watched the first two episodes of TNT’s new drama Leverage. TNT keeps ordering and airing these microbrewed 13-episode run series with quality scriptwriting, high production values and interesting casting (including Gina Bellman, famous as Jane in Coupling). Leverage is nicely entertaining, a grown-up A-Team crossed with The Saint.

Life should be first-run on USA or TNT so it doesn’t get smothered by NBC.
