"Law & Order" isn't the only show coming up with storylines "ripped from today's headlines," as they say. The Feb. 27 episode of CBS' "Joan of Arcadia" loosely takes on last year's Santa Monica tragedy, in which 86-year-old George Russell Weller plowed his vehicle through the city's Farmers' Market and killed 10.
In the episode, which takes place in the fictional city of Arcadia (not the one next to Pasadena), Joan's father, chief of police Will Girardi (Joe Mantegna) "finds it difficult not to judge an elderly driver who accidentally hit and killed several people at an outdoor market."
That's the episode's secondary storyline, according to the show's press release. "Joan of Arcadia" airs Fridays at 8 p.m. on CBS.
