Married.. With Children. The name itself sounds like a death knell, which in Al Bundy’s case, it is! The idea of the wholesome “All-American Family” is turned on its head in the knee-slapping chortle-inducing sitcom that kept audiences coming back for eleven seasons.

First they made music for us, then they made laws for us. More than a few actors have become politicians (including, you know, a former president), but they’re not the only ones: Musicians have a history of turning their passion to the political too. One thing’s for sure: They know how to win over an audience. And isn’t that, ultimately, what politicians do (or at least try to do)?

Before ER, before Grey’s Anatomy, before House and Nurse Jackie, came St. Elsewhere, an irreverent, hilarious, controversial series that broke a lot of ground. Over its six seasons, it addressed AIDS, addiction, infidelity, rape—not to mention the deaths of several main characters. Thirty-two years later, it’s clear that one of the most astonishing things about it was its ensemble cast (the show gave some very talented actors their big break). Oh, and we’d be remiss not to mention that memorable—and hummable—theme song. Just don’t even get us started on the series finale—to this day, one of the most talked-about and oft-maligned in TV history: Was St. Eligius hospital all a figment of an autistic boy’s (Chad Allen) imagination? Let’s look back at St. Elsewhere…

Full disclosure: We’re big fans of Frank Spotnitz. After all, he spent years as a writer and executive producer on the iconic ‘90s sci-fi droolfest The X-Files and rebooted the creepier-than-creepy thriller Night Stalker for ABC. Though Night Stalker was never really given a proper shot (marketing and time-slot issues), it made for some compelling TV. So imagine our delight when we discovered that Spotnitz was back developing a kick-ass spy thriller called Hunted, starring the lovely Melissa George and airing on Cinemax (go figure!)—did we mention it’s written and set in the U.K.? Snakkle was lucky enough to speak to Spotnitz while he was in town for the Television Critics Association press tour and asked him about working in the U.K. TV system, the genesis of Hunted, casting Melissa George (Alias baddie!), and, of course, his thoughts on a third X-Files movie.
