TV Beat - The television critics have been in Hollywood (not Pasadena) all week, dishing on the latest midseason replacements and hearing about the latest developments in the world of episodic television. Even with ratings down this season, NBC is bringing back The West Wing for another three seasons. Look for more off-topic shows like CJ's trip to Dayton to fill those 66 episodes. I think they're probably pretty likely to bow out after a total of seven seasons. And Fox has renewed The Simpsons for another two years, which will make it the longest running television comedy of all time. But, in perhaps the most exciting news of all, Will & Grace is continuing its longstanding tradition of gimmicky stunt casting, with appearances by Minnie Driver, Demi Moore, and (wait for it) Madonna.
