"I'm With Her"

When "NCIS" is a rerun, I flip over to ABC to watch "I'm With Her," based on writer Chris Henchy's real-life relationship with Brooke Shields. High school English teacher Patrick Owen meets movie star Alex Young (Teri Polo) after her dog bites him. Offering to pay any medical expenses, she leaves him her number, and the rest is sitcom history.

Given the setup above, there's some wish-fulfillment in this for me. It could happen. Margaret Colin of INDEPENDENCE DAY attended Hofstra (for which David Letterman teased her, saying, "I'll speak really slowly then."). I also enjoy the irony that David Sutcliffe, who plays the teacher, once played a plagiarizing college student on the short-lived Olsen twins show, "Two of a Kind."
