We made it through the drought, when Charlotte wasn't seen or heard from after Blue and giving birth to baby Max. Now she appears to be one busy working girl! In addition to joining the cast of John Stamos' ABC comedy, Jake In Progress, she is currently working on the independent film Searching For Mickey Fish. It is described as a true to life comedy about a man who is on the brink of collapse when a huge deal materializes and he and his partners are sure that their lives have changed forever. Don Most is the director. You might remember his from his Happy Days. Daniel Baldwin, Curtis Armstrong and William Mapother are listing among the cast. I'll post more information as it becomes available!

Happy Turkey Day to all you wacky Blue Bloggers! We have lots to give thanks for this year and the coming year....even if Blue isn't still giving us first run episodes. It might be easier to list them out, so here goes - in no particular order...
Let's give thanks that idiots, oops...make that those in charge over at Fox Video, are finally coming to their collective senses and getting ready to release Blue Season 3 on DVD. Get on with the it guys...we WANT and NEED Seasons 8 forward in a good/bad way...
A BIG THANKS that Charlotte Ross will FINALLY be returning to the small screen and we get to be blessed by her comic skills this time around! I'm just giddy with anticipation....Stamos and Ross...together....this has got to be good! At it'll be easy on the eyes!
A Thank You shout-out to the powers that be over at Showtime for FINALLY wising up and releasing Beggars & Choosers on DVD early in 2006. For those not in the know, Charlotte ROCKS in Beggars! I highly recommend checking it out for those not in the know.
An Executive Thanks to ABC for bringing Stevie B to Commander In Chief and to the casting peeps over there for getting Mark-Paul Gosselaar added to the cast. His role as Dickie looks like a winner! Now, if Bochco can just work Dennis Franz into the show somehow I swear I'll take back
every nasty comment I made about Stevie B....but we don't want to go there now, during this Blog of Thanks!
Also, on the Presidential Thank You list - Jimmy Smits. It's great seeing him on West Wing. Next election day...let's all vote for him, ok? It's gotta be better than what we got now.
Special GRACIAS for Jackie O's sitcom, Freddie, getting the full season green light. Jackie, IMHO, was one of the most underrated cast members during Blue's run. She's terrific in both comedy and drama and wasn't given the proper storyline to show off her skills during Blue.
A loud A&C Thanks to the Guttermamma herself for cranking out the Fanfic in the City of Brotherly Love. With no new episodes, she, and the other A&C'ers keep us satisfied with all those Blue episodes we just know should have been filmed....but, sadly, weren't. Keep writing girlfriend! We can dream...
Lastly, a Great BIG BLOGGER Hug of THANKS to all of you who have visited the Blue Blog since I started it back in the spring. It gets slow sometimes between appearances of our Blue faves but I'll keep 'em posted as they happen and keep you all updated with any of the news from the Left Coast on what our actors are going to be doing. Remember, you heard it hear first about Charlotte and Jake In Progress, MPG and CIC, Dennis golfing and all those other important events like Henry and his engagement to Eva. Keep the comments, cards, letters and Starbucks Gift Cards coming...caffeine seems to keep the blog running! <<>>
~~~~***```HAPPY THANKSGIVING```***~~~~

New question for the masses...which characters on Blue would you like to have seen hook-up (in a relationship or in a storyline or ??? whatever???) but didn't during the run of the series. My first answer would have been I'd like to have seen MORE of a hook-up with Connie and Andy. Come on, they were living together, they were obviously sleeping together, they had a child together....BUT, us A&C'ers were sort of short changed in the intimacy department here! We saw a look, we saw a pat on the shoulder, and on a lucky episode we got a brief hand holding moment or a kiss on the forehead. If we had been thrown a bone in at least one episode (bad choice of words?!! I think not!) we would have been delirious with excitement!
Outside of the obvious, for me, I would like to offer up a hook up of former PAA Geri and Andy. The girl had her fetishes, many rubber body suits, but she knew a fine man when she saw one and she went after Andy. Out of all the characters Andy interacted with over the years, she really sort of scared him! I loved the scenes when she would come on to Andy and tell him what she'd like to do to him! Dennis' facial expressions were priceless! I'd love to have seen them stuck in an elevator for an hour and see what shape Andy Sipowicz would have come out in! Geri would have torn him up!! Kudos to actress Debra Christofferson who played Geri and went on to the HBO series Carnivale.
Ok bloggettes....pony up. Think back in time and who would have made an interesting hook-up for you and why?

That's right blogettes! And guess who his bouncing baby girl is....Jackie O!! Yep, Esai Morales will be making a guest appearance on the ABC sitcom Freddie as the long absent father of Jackie and Freddie's characters - Sofia and Freddie. After 24 years he tries to charm his way back into their lives...and apartment. The episode airs on November 30.
Also, in Freddie news - the series has been given the green light to produce a full season of episodes. Unfortunately, Bonnie Somerville's series, Kitchen Confidential, has not been given the green light for the full season and will air it's last episode in a couple of weeks - after the finale of Prison Break.

Garcelle looks like she's having a good time out last night in Los Angeles. She kicked off the night by attending the star studded art exhibit by Hunt Slonem at celebrity hot spot, Dolce. Also in attendance was former Law and Order star Elizabeth Rohm, Sharon Stone and Henry Simmons. After chatting with Henry for a while, Garcelle made her way over to the newly trendy Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood for the release party of the new book, The Beauty of Color, by model (and David Bowie's wife) Iman. Makes me tired just typing this....Garcelle, get some rest!

NYPD Blue had such a wonderful supporting cast of guest stars over the years. From the uniform cops - Miller, Laughlin, Shannon - to Anti Crime Josh, Lisa and Hank. There was Julian Pisano, Swirley and even Shorty Boom. Some viewers might even call Eddie Gibson, Fraker and Martens guest stars. Who was your favorite and why? I'd have to guess mine is Lenny Venito as Julian Pisano. He always made me laugh but he could play it straight too. I always liked watching his interaction with Andy. Julian could be a smart ass to Andy but there was always that fear in him of what Andy could do!
Your turn...who's your favorite?
