Clam Jam Alley (For Ladies, Women and Girls)

[kelly lynn]

now now colin, that's not fair.  most of sports night involved dan and casey sitting perfectly still behind newsdesks while having rapid fire dialog as hair and make up flitted about.  that is WAAAAAAY different than walking down hallways.

I'm sorry. As someone who just watched all 45 episodes in the last two days, that show is ALL about walking and talking. And I happen to like it. And nobody is fucking asking for opinions on the West Wing. I just happened to want to watch it and my DVD set is mysteriously missing. Missing in a similar way that my unopened bag of cheese sticks was opened and halfway gone after I left for band practice last week.

It's gotten to the point where I kind of just need to move, no matter what.

How can anyone hate on CSI? It's pretty amazing...in ridiculous sorta way.

I find that the people who have a problem with it think it's supposed to be realistic. NO, YOU CAN'T ZOOM THAT FAR IN TO A LOW RESOLUTION SECURITY CAMERA VIDEO, etc. I just treat it like an action movie.

I'm sure Rally has some different reason for disliking it that is way beyond any of our cognitive abilities, though. That man is a deep thinker.

i was kind of surprised to find out ncis has been the best ranked drama the last three or four years or something. that show is fine and all, but couldn't believe it was ranked that high.

[DaveNinja]

to me all that CSI, NCIS and even Law and Order all kind of seem the same. I can watch them and be entertained but i never go out of my way to watch them

[Marshall]

csi and ncis i can see. law & order(s) are fairly different from those two though

[Jesse]

Law & Order doesn't use the forensics/computer magic plot device, but otherwise the writing isn't far off. It's sad. It was so much better when Jerry Orbach was still alive.

[Marshall]

i love that the original law & order instead of just svu is on netflix now.

Crime shows just don't appeal to me. Therefore it baffles me that they are so popular.

Me either. Not even a little.

[Mrs. Alive]

I gave up on CSI when Grissom left. It had gotten pretty silly so it seemed as good a time as any to bail.

[George!]

the only crime show i watch is SVU when USA is showing all-day marathons.  can't get into the other ones.

NYPD Blue.

Sipowicz.

Sipowicz's ass in the shower.

It changes minds.

[BenTM]

When crime drama meant Law & Order or NYPD Blue, I was more than happy to watch.  Now it just means fake "computer" nonsense and stupid punchlines.  Like every character on every show spends an hour trying to out do the other characters on the other shows.  No thanks.

this. also nicoles comment about people walking down corridors and taking turns talking made me LOL

[jettrocks]

i totally hate aaron sorkin but apparently he's doing a show on broadway about houdini starring hugh jackman.  it's like he's trying to break me down!

Yeah. Bruckheimer, yo.

Sounds like it did yours!

[Harry Hijinks]

agreed! for some reason I like Magnum Pi though.

higgins, magnum, tc, helicopters. he's a hawaii living  james bond.  its more fantastic than the fake science shows where they have some current topic murder, the guy makes a snarky comment or pun, the let the who rip, then they solve the case in the same boring way.

boring.

NYawnPD blue was terrible.  So was Hill Street Snooze and Law & Cured my sleep disOrder. That stuff is so dull..total Snoozapalooza!

[Harry Hijinks]

Homeland however, is a great show.  Showtime had a free view over the weekend and I marathoned that stuff. Claire Danes? She's perfect as the genius nutjob!  Now I need to get Showtime.

I havent posted in this thread for so long and thats because I havent had any views for a long time. But now Im back. I have a whole new concept of litterature. What if a book starts with a murder and then there is this detective who is carismatic and funny, but he also has his personal flaws. And later he solves the mystery. And then I can make more books with the guy solving similar mysteries, sound familiar?




FUCK YEAH, it does. Cause its the same damn thing thats written in every fucking criminal litteture book ever made, I swear to fuck.

if people only knew, rene... how strange it all is!  and yes, we agree!
