Former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson is going back to the small screen after his foray into Republican presidential politics over the last year.

I am sure it pays better..:)

[PBRSTREETGANG]

He acted like he wanted to be president...for a little while.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

He never left acting and don’t you forget it.

[EggsAckley]

Good. He’s one of the best actors on TV and is much appreciated. He’s too classy for politics.

Fred Thompson in his most challenging role yet:

RIP VAN WINKLE!

“He never left acting and don’t you forget it.”

Rush says that politics is show business for unattractive people.

I’d like to see him on Boston legal. That would be a hoot.

[Positive_Phototaxis]

How about a conservative version of “West Wing”?

[Steve Van Doorn]

Good… if he stayed in the race he might have had a chance at beating McLame.

you’re right but I think this is BL’s last season so it’s probably too late

[hoosierham]

Fred Thompson never seemed like he wanted the job;acting career and trophy wife were enough!

The GOP primaries were a waste of time,filled with RINOs without the moxie to fight for the job or our nation's future.

If he can stay awake long enough.

[papasmurf]

Wow, I just checked, and you’re correct-this is the last season. That’s too bad as I just “discovered” them last month. LOL Tells you how much I watch TV, huh?

After the horrendous acting job in the 2008 election things can only go up.

Go back to the big screen Fred, TV is just a fad.

I’m an occasional watcher but I had read somewhere that the network wanted to cancel it and the producer sacrificed another show he had on the network to keep it on another season. I guess he wanted to give it a proper series end (maybe Denny will get back with Candice Bergen’s character at the end or something)
