I write to inform you that
Allison Janney now has a semi-regular/recurring role on In Plain Sight.

(Incidentally, In Plain Sight provides a nice a gender-reversal of the "genius wrangler" trope - i.e., where a male lead sort of runs rampant and breaks all the rules and is generally obnoxious and out-of-control and a female lead is put in the role of playing mommy/grown-up. There was an LJ post about it that I can't locate now but it basically sums up why I had to stop watching The Mentalist and Lie to Me, why I never even started watching Castle, and why House walks a very fine line. But In Plain Sight is the opposite, or close to - Mary's not a
prodigy in the same way the male "geniuses" are, but she's certainly extremely skilled. -
Edit: Oh, here's the post.)
(Oh, also? This week? Don't even get me started on another rant about how TV makes it sound as though it's ethical and appropriate for cops and prosecutors withhold exculpatory information from the defense.)
