In Entertainment News This Week.

After 7 seasons The West Wing is being cancelled. Although this season has been pretty good it is time for the show to go. The past few years have seen a noticeable decline in quality. Besides in the real world you couldn't keep this group of people together for this long or through another year after an election. Executives say they decided to kill the show before John Spencer died of his heart attack in December.

On a more happy note new episodes of Veronica Mars start this week. Lucy Lawless will appear as an FBI agent tracking Duncan. Duncan appears to steal his baby after Meg's death. Cool. Maybe this was covered in Family Law II, but if the birth mother dies doesn't the birth father have a custody claim to the child anyway? Oh well no one said Hollywood writers were legally astute in the first place.
