I've never been the right age for shows made by Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick. I was in college when I became obsessed with thirtysomething, too old for the angst of My So-Called Life, and wasn't divorced so I couldn't always appreciate Once and Again (though I always appreciate Sela Ward).

It's happened again with quarterlife, their show about angsty twentysomethings. Now I'm too old to relate, what with my mortgage and hair loss. That hasn't stopped the show from becoming my latest guilty pleasure as it rolled out over the last few months at both quarterlife.com and MySpaceTV. New Webisodes premiere every Sunday and Thursday (MySpace gets them first). Six webisodes are the equivalent of one hour of a network television episode. Except you have days-long breaks in between which you can't fast forward through.

That comes to an end tomorrow night, when quarterlife (yes, the lowercase is annoying) jumps from the Web to your local NBC affiliate, complete with commercials.

Like many Herskovitz/Zwick shows, quarterlife was developed for ABC, but the network didn't want it. Rather than let the pilot languish, the producers took it online. Now, after the decimation of programming following the writer's strike, the networks have come crawling, looking for quality programming wherever they can find it to fill in time until new shows can premiere in April.

What you really want to know is, should I tune in?

I can tell you unequivocally, this is the best produced Web-based show yet. This was made with TV in mind ...

Stanford professor Lawrence Lessig has decided against running for the congressional seat vacated by the death of Democratic Rep. Tom Lantos.

In a video (above) posted to his blog, Lessig explained that a pollster hired to evaluate the professor's chances of winning basically reached the conclusion that there was "no possibly way" to beat Democrat Jackie Speier, a popular former state senator.

"We would have just over 30 days to introduce a district to me and to an idea," Lessig wrote on Lessig08.com. "That would not be enough time to convince them to turn away from an extremely popular politician with 30 years of public service."

That idea is apparently fighting political corruption. Lessig was for years a champion of intellectual property rights, but announced plans last year to abandon IP to focus on dishonesty in Washington. Last week he announced that he would consider running for Lantos' seat. The staple of his platform congressional platform would have been a commitment to oust lobbyists from the political process and to ban earmarks.

The support he received from supporters who urged his congressional run was "humbling" and "inspiring," Lessig said. But ultimately, Speier deserves "the reward for which her 30 years of service has earned her," he said.
