1. Intro
If you haven't heard, Robert Downey Jr. was arrested, yet again, for being under the influnce of illegal substances. He was sent back to rehab, and therefore won't be able to finish shooting this season of Ally McBeal. How disappointing. He was a great addition to the show, and his presence will be missed.
That seems to be the big news for the week. I'm looking forward to the Survivor season finale, myself. I know the weather is getting nicer, but don't forget to stay inside and watch TV, 'cause it's May sweeps, and, as usual, the networks are pulling out all the stops for the end of the regular season.

2. The poll
Last week's poll asked why you tune into NBC on Thursday nights. Most of you (almost 38%) tune in to watch Friends, although a good number of you (over 26%) are there because of ER. A little over 14% of you tune in for Will & Grace, while only about 2% of you look forward to Just Shoot Me every Thursday. More than 18% of you don't think Thursday NBC is Must See TV, and don't bother to tune in at all.
As much as I love Friends and Will & Grace, I must admit that ER is the one show I really miss if I don't catch Thursday night NBC.
This week's poll asks you which, of the big six, is your favorite network. Come cast your vote and see how others feel.
As always, the TKTV weekly poll can be found right on the front page of the site.

4. TV Trivia
Last week's question was: Winona Ryder, who guest starred on last week' episode of Friends, shares a famous god-father with one of the regular stars of Friends. Who is Winona's god-father and who is the Friends star with whom she shares him?
As I suspected, not many people knew this one. First prize goes to Suzanne B. Congratulations!
Honorable mentions go to Jennifer L., Josie H. and Caralyn G.
The correct answer was Telly Savalas, who is also Jennifer Aniston's god-father.
This week's question is: Chad Lowe, who will be guest starring on an upcoming episode of Law & Order: SVU, is married to which Oscar-winning actress? (Bonus if you can tell me which show that actress guest starred on for a year as a single mother dating one of the show regulars.)
Send answers to TK at tk@tktv.net with the subject of tvtrivia. Winners will be chosen at random from all the correct answers.
