Of Pork Chop Sandwiches, 'Kidnapped' and Anna Quindlen

Some random thoughts. Tell me where I'm right and, especially, where I'm wrong:

* Dana Delany (left) crackles in NBC's "Kidnapped" (10 p.m. Wednesdays). Give her more to do.
* You can't beat the pork chop sandwich at Helen's Famous Sausage House near Smyrna. Stopped in Monday morning, the line was long and the woman behind the counter asked if I really wanted it because it was a small chop. Want it?
* Saw "All the King's Men" and couldn't figure what sent Sean Penn's character from small-town idealist to heavy-handed (in many ways) governor. Plus, that movie didn't look or feel like the '50s, and the women (Kate Winslet, Patricia Clarkson, Kathy Baker) were completely wasted.
* Wonder what Katie Couric thinks about Anna Quindlen's new book, "Rise and Shine." It's about a popular morning TV talk show host in New York who says some bad words, gets some bad news and pulls back to reassess.
* Love the Kentucky couple on "Amazing Race." Can't believe David and Mary said -- almost in unison -- "We've never been around gay people," over video of them dancing with a gay couple while waiting for a bus. And Mary added, "But, buddy, I like them." She has hugged everybody they've met in China and Mongolia, and they're hanging in the race. Something genuine about them.
