Mac Thomason pokes fun at the proposed new ABC drama about the CDC.


At this rate, they're going to run out of government agencies and departments pretty soon.

2003: Customs

2004: D.O.E.
2005: Postmaster!
2006: Joe Collins, FDA Inspector
2007: SSA Theatre
2008: Price Supports


I hate to break it to you, Mac, but there have already been two made-for-TV movies about heroic US Postal Inspectors. I give you The Inspectors and its cleverly titled sequel Inspectors 2: A Shred of Evidence, both starring Louis Gossett. My local post office has a poster for Inspectors 2 in it, which I may have to liberate one of these days as it is sure to be a hot item on Ebay in the future.

I'm still waiting for a show about a spunky young female paralegal who specializes in immigration law...
