Logic, according to me.

Most of you have met my boyfriend, Jane.

I so love Patrick Jane, of The Mentalist fame. I mean, I soooooo love him!

That being said... when I was surfing through my Netflix TV on DVD options and saw an ad for The Guardian, which ran from 2001-2003, you know I had to put it in my queue. Why? Because it's like the younger years with Jane. Also, it's a show about lawyers. And if my recent stint of watching The Good Wife, Season One, in less than a week is any indicator... I have a bit of a fascination with the law right now. (Listen, these people have good vocabularies and like to verbally mix it up and prove their point for a living. For reasons that I can't adequately explain, this fascinates and intrigues me. Not to mention... all the men are in suits and ties, all the time? It's like my own personal version of heaven.)

Anyhoo... The Guardian. It's a good time. I mean, it's not the best written show ever. The character development is all over the map. You love them, then you hate them. It's a little weird, in that there's no clear protagonist, but hey... They're all in suits and ties, and Simon Baker's leading the cast. What's not to love?

But I digress. The purpose of this post was to give you a little insight into the way my scary little brain works. (And, no, I'm not talking about the suit and tie thing. Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I love a man all dressed up.)

So, here's a pic of three of the leading men. Of course, Nick Fallin is front and center (delicious, no?), with his father to the left and his legal aid boss to the right of him.

Behold:



As I was watching an episode last night, there was a pretty intense father/son scene. They were kind of getting into it, and I was thinking "Gosh, they did a good job casting this show. I mean, it's totally believable that Nick is Burton's son!". Why did I think they could be related? I'll show you.

You may recognize, in this this circa 1982 shot, the man who plays Burton Fallin:



Yeah, that's Simon & Simon. Burton was previously known as Rick, the cowboy Simon brother.

Now, the question is why did I think they'd cast The Guardian so well? Because A.J. Simon was a blond. Thus, Nick Fallin being a blond made perfect sense. Like, A.J. Simon and Nick Fallin being blond was some kind of genetic link in Nick being Burton Fallin's (fake, tvland) son. For about 2 minutes, I thought it was pure casting genius to cast an attractive blond man as the son of an aging/balding gentleman who'd had a blond brother back in the 80's.

What the heck?

Yeah, I know. I amaze even myself. (And yes, I actually thought this through for a few minutes before I realized I was being nutty and they're just the cast of a TV show.) Egads. Sometimes, the way my brain works scares me. Other times, I'm just grateful for TV on DVD and I don't give anything other than the power suits and ties a second thought. (Okay, truth be told, that's most of the time. I do heart an expensive suit.)

Okay, enough of that. Disc 1 of Season Two came in the mail this afternoon, and I have something to do other than write blog posts. You know, really important stuff, like dissecting the DNA links in the cast. (I do love me a good science experiment. Heh heh heh.)
