tv: chicklets

tonight's tv viewing menu:

csi (rerun)
lost (new)
alias (new)
eyes (new)

i love jorja fox on csi, but she does this funny smile thing where her big two front teeth with a gap between them look like chicklets (big rectangular pieces of white gum).

this is a terrible picture of her, but it's the only one i could find that shows the chicklet smile.

on alias, the plot required the computer geek to go out and do action spying in the field. they put him in the nice leather jacket just like they usually put the hottie (michael vartan) in, and i swear they gave him the michael vartan haircut, gel, and stubble too. then they lit him the way they do michael vartan. most of it worked quite well, making the computer guy look better. unfortunately, when they put the dramatic lighting on him, it just emphasized his visually less appealing qualities.

i watched the premiere of "eyes." it gets two thumbs up from me. the writing and acting is terrific. the plot moves along and, for tv, is reasonably fresh.

warning: what follows is not a tv-related observation.

i was in a medical building today with a ton of therapists' offices in it. the elevator has instructions for getting help if it gets stuck. at the bottom of the instructions is "do not panic."

1 - does that help anyone?
2 - does the presence of that admonition have anything to do with the number of therapy offices in the building?
