THE LAST SEASON BEFORE REALITY HIT: While re-reading Jack Lechner's Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You recently, I was reminded that the 1999-2000 network TV schedule might have been the most impressive list of new programs in years--among that year's debuts? L&O: SVU, Once and Again, Angel, Now and Again, The West Wing, and Freaks and Geeks. Also of note? Paula Marshall/David E. Kelley PI show Snoops, Time of Your Life, which marked early major series roles for Jennifer Garner and Pauley Perrette, Get Real, the first major role for Anne Hathaway, Clerks: The Animated Series, and Roswell, the first major TV role for Katherine Heigl. Not a bad year.
