How my job is trying to kill me

    One of the pipeline  guys came out to the site today to inform us that we are no longer allowed to use the  road that leads to the field we are  in because  it is not in the right-of-way.  Instead we have to take our SUV's (which don't have four wheel drive) through the ditch along the side of the main road.  At different  times, both of the back tires lifted completely off the ground.  And I'm talking a foot off the ground.  So. Not. Cool.  In fact, possibly the most dangerous thing I've ever been told to do.  Really just  waiting for the entire car to tip over. 

    On a more fan-girly front, a letter:

Dear Jerry Bruckhiemer,

    Forcing me to watch a second of your shows by having continuing story-lines from one to the other is not going to work.  You've had your warning.  Do it again and I leave completely. 

Disappointedly,
Allison

    And finally, does anyone else have an unnatural fondness for trashy-romance novellas  that have to do with Christmas?  No? Just me? Oh well.

Rest assured that there won't be another CSI cross-over; the only reason they did this one was that Billy Peterson and Anthony LaPaglia are friends and nearly did a film with Danny Cannon (from CSI) a couple years ago. Seeing as Peterson generally HATES crossovers, you're safe.

I will admit, it was not a stellar WaT. Sad, as it could have done loads for getting new fans and old fans back (the ones that left last year after they moved to Sunday). I take it you didn't like it?

Nah, it was okay. I just hate being manipulated so blatently into watching another show. It was just as bad when ER did it with Third Watch, and I'm sure the other times that I don't remember.

I can see your point, but I didn't care that much. If I didn't watch WaT (well, if I didn't once upon a time - this week's was the first I've seen since March; got a lot on tape ;-}). I guess I just accepted it as part of the cross-over thing. They totally would have done it with CSI and CSI: Miami if it handn't been before Miami's official premiere.
I was more peeved that the writers didn't mingle - the CSI folk wrote Jack, and the WaT folk wrote Grissom, and in my opinion the CSI folk did a *much* better job...

When did ER and Third Watch cross-over? I don't remember that...

Wouldn't it have more sense to do the cross over with CSI:New York, seeing as they share a city anyway?

When did ER and Third Watch cross-over?

It must have been the first or second season because it was Susan Lewis that crossed over. I think it might have been for the midseason piolet for Third Watch. (That is the name of the fire-fighter show right?)
