Today's giveaway reminds us of the humble beginnings for a star with a CBS hit.
Let us turn to the hottie that is Simon Baker. Before he had the grand title of "The Mentalist," he had the grand title of "The Guardian."
Baker played Nick Fallin, a high-powered attorney who gets arrested on a drug charge and has to do community service. He ends up working for the underprivileged and finding it's his true calling. His supervisor at Children's Legal Services of Pittsburgh is played by Alan Rosenberg. His law firm boss is the incomparable Dabney Coleman.
It's a 6-disc set with 22 episodes (16 hours of viewing!) and minimal features: the CBS series launch promos. But we think Simon is feature enough.
Just email me (adrienne.johnson@newsobserver.com) with the name of the CBS sitcom in which Alan Rosenberg played Ira Woodbine in the subject line. In the body, give your name and contact information. Entries with the correct answer will be put in a random drawing to choose a winner.
We'll take emails until midnight. (Saturday, Dec. 12) Check back tomorrow for and a new chance to win.
We'll announce the winners of the Friday, Saturday and Sunday giveaways on Monday.
Assistant Features Editor Adrienne Johnson Martin would like to have her life turned into an animated cartoon.
