Latest episode clacks for this show:
Prior to this last episode of In Plain Sight, I’ll admit that I hadn’t given much thought to the fact that the one-and-done witnesses were little more than a distraction on the otherwise character-driven show.

Rich’s piece last week about how USA Network’s Sunday was West Wing Reunion night got me to thinking a little bit about that old favorite.
