...Kaine had his own state political luminary at his side this weekend-a former Governor, and a Republican former Governor, at that. His father-in-law is A. Linwood Holton, 82, who as Governor from 1970 to 1974 was known for his progressive stances on integration and busing.

It passed...

His script charmed Fox entertainment president Doug Herzog, who committed to 13 episodes despite the show's cost (shot with a single camera for a more cinematic look, it costs about $1 million an episode, compared with at least $750,000 per half-hour sitcom). The producers launched a nationwide search for Boomer's megabrained alter ego and found Muniz...
