...Bush has given a major address on detainee policy, a series of speeches surrounding the five-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and an extensive press conference - all of them covered as Presidential rather than political events by the cable channels and, for the most part, the broadcast networks. ABC even broke into its daytime programming to carry Bush's United Nations speech this morning. The result has been saturation coverage of the President talking tough on terror, just as Rove planned...
...Entertainment, felt Fey was using the news setting as a fig leaf for her own experience and encouraged her to write what she knew.

In between, life-changing things happen, some noble, some regrettable. But what, exactly? We don't see, and the answer is the key to this whydunit. It's a high-wire premise--how long can the series keep us in the dark about a riddle the characters all know the answer to? The tense pilot suggests the series has a few twists up its sleeve and a cast...
...DEGREES ABC, THURSDAYS, 10 P.M. E.T.; PREMIERES SEPT. 21 Was Kevin Bacon unavailable? Beats me, but this serial about connected strangers still has dramatic muscle. Steven (Campbell Scott) is a great photographer in a slump ... who is hired by ad exec Whitney (Bridget Moynahan) ... who befriends recent widow Laura (Hope Davis) ... who hires as her nanny mystery girl Mae (Erika Christensen) ... who attracts the attention of cop Carlos (Jay Hernandez, above, with Christensen) ... who forms an alliance with Damian (Dorian Missick), a gambler struggling to go straight. It's a drama of chance with enough charm to roll the dice...
