Doctor Feelgood
I felt like a teenager salivating over a teenybopper
magazine when I opened my mailbox and saw Patrick Dempsey on the cover.
I have been a huge fan of his for many years and have wondered for some
time when he would make his comeback. Would it be immature to hang this
magazine cover on my wall like I did many years ago when I first saw him
in Can't Buy Me Love?

Omigod! Fer shur, like, I'm so totally in lust! As a product of the
'80s, I've just got to say that the photo of Patrick Dempsey on the
cover is totally hot! I remember seeing him on Will & Grace a few years
back and thinking that he looked pretty good, but now, wow! I had
considered checking out Grey's Anatomy just to see what it was about but
now I will, no doubt about it — if only I can pry that yummy cover from my
hands long enough to set my TiVo for a Season Pass. Just wish I was
Ellen Pompeo's thigh.

Wow. Three incredible covers in a row! First the unbelievably sexy (and,
more importantly, wet) star of Lost, Matthew Fox. Then the gorgeous cast
members of Nip/Tuck. And now Patrick Dempsey? You put the cast of
Arrested Development on your next cover and I'll forever be your love
slave.

What an unexpected breakout hit. Who would have thought that ABC, a once
crumbling network, could have not one, or two, but three smash shows all
within one television season? Grey's Anatomy is funny and smart, has a
group of fantastic writers, and — better yet — has a hot cast. What more
could you want? Oh yeah, a great in-depth article in EW (''Playing
Doctors'') that gives us even more background on the show and the actors.
Thanks for the story; it made me 100 percent certain to watch this year.

Why did you feature Grey's Anatomy on the cover and not House? Hugh
Laurie is the sexiest doctor on television, followed closely by his
costar Robert Sean Leonard. How about putting the two of them on the
cover in the near future?

What About Bob?
As a longtime Bob Dylan fan who can still remember
listening to The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan when it was first released and
owns everything the man has ever done, I found your analysis of his
albums (''Bob Dylan 101'') both interesting and amusing. To be sure, such
lists are entirely subjective, so there's no need to get into
differences of opinion. But rather than cite what you felt are Dylan's
poorest efforts, couldn't you at least have mentioned Shot of Love,
Empire Burlesque, and his live performance on MTV, all of which contain some worthwhile gems?

Just wanted to say thank you to Dalton Ross for pointing out
something that has long been a sore spot on television shows — de facto
music videos (News & Notes). Aren't producers aware of what an
eye-rolling spectacle they are creating? For me, the nadir was the time
my beloved Alias (a frequent offender) played U2's ''Walk On'' as Sydney
and her parents opened fire on their enemies. I can't imagine anything
more wrongheaded.
