Casting
Good casting: Peter Bogdanovich as Dr. Elliot Kupferberg, Dr. Malfi's therapist on The Sopranos.
Bad casting: Peter Bogdanovich as George Merritt, a Hugh Hefner-type magazine publisher/club owner in the episode "Sex Club" of Law & Order: Criminal Intent that I am watching right now. Although this episode is fictional and not intended to represent any real person, it is ripped from the headlines around Jack Ryan-dragging-Jeri-Ryan-to-the-sex-clubs scandal.
Okay, so maybe the problem lies in this show (and not Peter Bogdanovich, I'd cast him). Thet showt thatt wouldt castt Stephent Colbert ast at ant authenticatort oft raret bookst. It just doesn't work. But it should, I think. It has the right pedigree, and you can't fault Vincent D'Onofrio or Katheryn Erbe or Courtney B. Vance, and now Chris Noth and Annabella Sciorra, it just doesn't work. Sometimes, I pretend it does, looking the other way out of deference to its TV family members. Is this a bad thing? Am I an enabler?
