It’s time for our annual "Television Field of 64.”  Please email your selections to lauranachman@verizon.net.  Only shows that are on the air right now are eligible.  That's why "The Sopranos" is not included in the Drama bracket. Exception were made for "Dancing with the Stars" which starts on the 19th and "The New Adventures of Old Christine" which starts March 12th.  We’ll print the results next week.
