Why the Hell was FrankenFred Thompson on "Life on Mars"?
His character served no purpose except to stand around the cop shop and look like the brain dead old fart Repuke bastard that he is. If they add him to the cast permanently, I might have to stop watching.

9. Since the whole presidency thing flopped, he needed work
Not sure why they thought a guy with a Tennessee drawl made sense as a New York City detective.
