On his hugely popular Food Network shows, Emeril Lagasse has several folksy catch phrases that are always greeted by whoops and hollers from his devoted audience:
"Bam!"
"Kick it up a notch!"
"Talk about good!"
"Happy happy!"
Mr. Lagasse is not without a certain natural charm, but as he is neither a trained actor nor a comedian, we have decided that his dialogue on this sitcom will be limited to these four phrases.

Former "Law & Order" star Jill Hennessy wants you to know that her new show "Crossing Jordan" is NOT a "Law & Order" spinoff. "I play a medical examiner who solves crimes," she explains. "This show is a radical departure for me. In each episode, you’ll get the satisfaction of seeing how detectives and the district attorney’s office work together to gather evidence, arrest suspects and prosecute cases." Case closed, Jill!

Filmed on the set of the hit NBC show "Law & Order," "Law & Order: Law & Order" follows the dedicated men and women who patrol the sets of the police drama "Law & Order" and protect the cast and crew.

If you hate the earnestness of "ER," "Scrubs" is the show for you. "Scrubs" makes a mockery of everything "ER" holds sacred. See slapstick liver transplants. Watch an orderly bathe a grandmother… while high. Hear a nurse say "The bad news is you’ve got cancer. The good news is that it’s treatable… with a heavy dosage of old-school boogie!" If you have any sense of decency, you’ll go right back to watching "ER" immediately.

Have you met NBC’s three sisters yet? There’s A.J. Langer—hot, hot, hot. Now check out "NewsRadio" alum Vicki Lewis—yowza! And Katherine LaNasa? More like Katherine LaNasty! Seriously, her awful hygiene and coarse language are a constant source of friction on set.

In the first episode alone, a green octopus is appointed to the Treasury; C.J. fights a forest nymph with heat vision; and the president implements a short-sighted tax cut.

Host Anne Robinson enlivens this survey of the past million years of evolution with the caustic disregard for others’ feelings that made her a megastar. Animated representations of extinct marsupials grouse to the camera about how it was really Cro-Magnon man who should have been voted out.

As all of you know, the third season of any hit series features the main character entering a drug-induced hysteria. It’s just the rules. Hence, expect Sydney to open a lucrative heroin dealership in the back rooms of her medical clinic. "Providence" will deal more explicitly with the horrors of addiction than any other primetime drama.*
*Note: "Friends" is a comedy.

This action-packed drama features one of the most underappreciated casts of any NBC program. It stars… that guy… you know… the one who was in that other show…. with the jet ski? Also featuring that dude with the shoes.
