McSteamy & Uncle Jesse

I was reading a recent arcticle about ER and how it's trying to steam things up a bit to draw in the Grey's Anatomy viewers. Including brining in John Stamos this season. I think he's a little too old for Parminder Nagra. Kinda creeps me out, even if he is hot. She's probably the same age as his nieces on Full House! But ER is always good at the big picture, medical drama stuff, and most people I know who are fans of that show, aren't fans of Grey's. I kind of gave up on it a few years ago - I'm not interested much since all the old characters are gone.

But in the same issue of EW, I saw an ad for a movie staring John Stamos and Eric Dane. The two docs are both staring in the The Wedding Wars on A&E. Here's a description from from the site...

Love, family, politics and the right to marry intersect in the A&E Network original movie Wedding Wars. The romantic comedy from Executive producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (Chicago, The Reagans), stars John Stamos (ER, Full House), Eric Dane (X-Men: The Last Stand, Grey's Anatomy), James Brolin (The Reagans, Traffic, Catch Me if You Can) Bonnie Somerville (The O.C.,Grosse Point), Sean Maher (Firefly, Brian's Song) and Rosemary Dunsmore (The Grid).
Shel (Stamos), a gay party planner, agrees to organize the nuptials for straight brother Ben (Dane) to Maggie (Somerville), the Governor of Maine's (Brolin) daughter. After Shel finds out that Ben, a campaign manager for his future father-in-law, is behind the governor's speech against gay marriage, he decides to go on strike for equal rights. Shel's strike picks up steam and eventually spreads nationwide, leaving the impending wedding vows in the hands of a tacky planner and overall, in question.
Wedding Wars is directed by Jim Fall (Trick, The Lizzie McGuire Movie) from a script by Stephen Mazur (Liar, Liar).

Not sure when it's on. You'll have to check your local listings. :)
