YOU'RE THE GOOD GUYS NOW: If there's one thing we love around here, it's well-done heist films. If there are two things we love around here, they're well-done heist films and obscure details of the U.S. legislative process. I enjoyed the pilot of Leverage well enough, but tonight's second episode, which featured a heist rotating around the theft of an appropriations bill from "the hopper," and (relatively correct!) discussions of how appropriations riders can be used to make significant legal changes, cemented that it's getting a season pass from me. And, man, those are some impressive production values for a cable show.

IN VOLATILE MARKET, ONLY STABLE INVESTMENT IS...: Apparently, Trekkie Monster's theories on investing have been proven false by recent events in Prague. (Arguably NSFW content on both links, though the second is from the International Herald Tribune.)

WHOOOOOO ARE YOOOOOOUUUUU? Given that Grey's and The Office air against it, it's not all that surprising that it seems we've never blogged about CSI: Original Recipe. That said, it is the #1 scripted show on TV most weeks, and when I watch it, I typically enjoy it (not so much with the spinoffs, which lose most of the quirk that makes the oriignal version fun). With Grey's in repeats this week, I'm DVRing it, if just because I'm interested in Lawrence Fishburne making his CSI debut as William Petersen's eventual replacement. Anyone else care? Does Petersen's departure make a difference to you? Does Fishburne replacing him? Discuss.

MAMA, I'M A BIG GIRL STILL: MTV has details from Marc Shaiman and John Waters about plot points and potential songs for Hairspray 2, which, are, well....interesting. Certainly, I'm not sure how tweenage fans of Zac Efron will feel about a movie in which he "has an ongoing dialogue with three pimples on his forehead" while high on drugs.

TONY WHO? What if I told you that there was a guy who was the lead singer on 5 Top 10 hits and that you had probably never heard of him?

Tony Burrows never had a hit record under his own name, but he managed the feat of having four records in the British Top Ten at the same time, all under different names. The British session vocalist was the lead singer of:

• Edison Lighthouse's Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes), which hit # 5 on the American pop charts in February of 1970,

• White Plains' My Baby Loves Lovin' (someone has set this song to a "Lost" theme), which peaked at #13 on the US Top 40 in May of the same year,

• The Pipkins' preposterous Gimme Dat Ding, which reached #9 in June of 1970, and

• The Brotherhood of Man's United We Stand, which hit #13 in May of the same year.

Burrows had another Top Ten hit in 1974 with the song Beach Baby, credited to First Class.

He also sang background on many of Elton John's early-'70s albums (especially Madman Across the Water). In fact, he sings background on ALOTT5MA fave Tiny Dancer (this clip taken from the memorable scene in "Almost Famous").

COULDN'T WE HAVE GOTTEN "THE BARRY GIBB TALK SHOW" INSTEAD? I'm still far from excited by the concept of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, but I have to admit that the idea of Philly alterna-hip-hoppers The Roots as the House Band is something different and smart. (Also, interestingly, he's not moving into the current Late Night studios, which makes me wonder whether Conan's move to L.A. might be less of a done deal than anticipated.)

IT'S SLIGHTLY EARLIER NIGHT! In a shocking development -- unless you read Bill Carter's The Late Shift, like I keep telling you, and remember that Jeff Zucker contemplated something like this for David Letterman back when they were trying to reclaim him -- NBC is expected to announce tomorrow that's it's handing over the 10pm slot every weeknight to Jay Leno after he cedes The Tonight Show to Conan O'Brien in May 2010.
