I don't know if this is an HBO thing, a crime show thing, or what.  I think it's an HBO thing.  Even family drama Six Feet Under did it.  Fraggle Rock also tended to solve its narrative crises via increased body count.

My only problem with Owen is pure jealousy, because the actor reminds me of "handsome guys with accents" who can literally walk into any bar, walk up any woman, say anything with their dodgy accent (even "ay, yer sleepin wit me, ya fat slapper"), and wander off with them.

Mid 1980's, Boston.  A small "TV room" arranged around a 19" philco color set, with a strange decoder on the top.

Actually the term "Shooting Muus" originates in St John, referring to local pasttime of re-reading the novels of Norweigen author Rudolph Muus.  It is said that (to paraphrase), "You don't just read Muus, you mainline it."  Which is where the phrase "shooting Muus" originates.
