...have you heard the news that Mandy Patinkin has quit? Apparently it came completely out of the blue and it wasn't about money. General consensus from those that have worked with him before is "Not surprised, really, he's done it before."

So they'll be recasting and bringing someone new in. I liked Mandy but he wasn't the sole reason I watched the show so I'm easy about him leaving. Be interesting to see who they DO bring in though.

I just saw that on CBC. Huh. I enjoy the show, but I fear Mandy was a big part of that enjoyment for me. Well, I'll wait & see who they bring in before I make any decisions. I'm not a really regular viewer, anyway, as the station that airs it here tends to shuffle it around the schedule so much that I never know when it's on. Ah, the joys of the reality-show-based television scheduling system...

The premise is the same so if they bring in a strong lead, it should still be good :)

True--after all, how many cast changes has "Law & Order" been through? ;-)

Hee, very true :) I just caught the first episode of Season 15 last night, first time I've seen Denis Farina. Not bad, I could get used to him. Course, I'm about 2 seasons behind anyway :)

Enjoy him while you've got him--he left at the end of that season, I think. Green was partnered with a woman last I saw.
