The TV Zone

And speaking of fourth party candidates, how about a fifth party one? For that, I nominate Patrick Dempsey, who's also making the morning talk show rounds to pump "Enchanted." He's not a Dobbsian word-mincer, best I can tell, and when Reeg asked him this morning about the Writers' Strike, he sure didn't look and sound like a guy who was whole-heartedly in the writers' corner, like most every other big name actor who's appeared on picket lines on the left and right
coasts in recent weeks. All the combatants - writers and Big Bad Studio chiefs - "need to come to an understanding and get their egos out of the way," he declared, because some staffers at shows like "Grey's Anatomy" are "living pay check to paycheck. They [writers] deserve something [but] they should resolve this as soon as possible."
