One was that I could have one of the Dinky Toys’ missile-firing Shado Interceptors, which I thought then (and still think now) was the coolest among the incredible array of vehicles that appeared in the show; I’d not be nearly as forgiving today as I was back then that Dinky had manufactured it in garish green, where the ‘real’ ones on TV were white. The other wish was that I...

If you've ever been worried about being overshadowed by a monkey, "Animal Practice" star Tyler Labine can relate.
After Crystal the Monkey, who plays Dr. Rizzo on the NBC sitcom, saw high scores with "Animal Practice" test audiences, Tyler Labine -- who plays Dr. Doug Jackson, a vet recovering from a breakup, on the show -- worried it would become all about Crystal.
"It was like, 'This isn't going to become 'The Crystal Show,' is it?" Labine said, according to New York magazine.
Labine had a right feel threatened by the show's four-legged star. Not only does Crystal make $12,000 per episode, but she has her own IMDb page. And she's only 18!
"Animal Practice" airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Et on NBC.

HBO has picked up to series Linda Bloodworth-Thomason's one-hour comedy "12 Miles of Bad Road", starring Lily Tomlin, and the half-hour drama "In Treatment", starring Gabriel Byrne and executive produced by Mark Wahlberg.
The premium cable network has ordered 40 episodes of "Treatment", from Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson, who also executive produce HBO's "Entourage". The number of episodes for "Road" is yet to be determined.
