Also the best singing French candle ever.  He's so good in Beauty and the Beast. 

I’ve always thought that one of the hallmarks of copaganda is that it leads viewers to believe that the cops are competent, compassionate, and genuinely care about solving crimes (as opposed to just closing cases). And then when most people are put in the position where they need to come in contact with the police as…

Raylan Givens did some of this shit too but we weren’t usually supposed to find it appealing. Or at the very least the people he was roughing up had it coming. (Plus he also got his ass kicked a lot, usually during fights he took on completely outside his job duties, ha.) He was also seen as a shitty marshal by just…

As time goes by the more I’m impressed by Perry Mason, a show where the cops always arrested the wrong person and the DA was a weasel who got prickly when things weren’t going their own way. The show definitely has its issues but it’s nice there was a show that depicted a criminal defence lawyer as someone doing a…

“How will you deal with rising crime in Gotham City, Commissioner?”

Based on what a close lesbian friend has told me, I don’t think it’s really a thing anymore for heterosexual men to ogle over two women kissing. Lesbians seem understandably not into that (their love isnt a show for the male gaze etc.) I can understand where this is coming from. If I was kissing my partner and a…

I like that his beat only covers Fancy Murders. Never a drug deal gone wrong, or a dickhead ex husband. Just novelists killing heiresses. (Edit, well ex husbands, but you know. The well bred ones)

I’m pretty sure the cops on Law & Order were often wrong initially.  I remember at least one episode where they more or less verbally threatened a confession out of the suspect, who turned out to be innocent after the trial.

If you look for it, there’s almost always a moment in those first scenes where Columbo knows who the culprit is. Sometimes he explains it at the end, “You never should’ve let me read your palm . . .”, other times he doesn’t, but if you’ve seen these episodes as much as I have, Falk gives a couple of little tells that…

Traditional Jerry Orbach era L&O was fun mostly. This SVU recent stuff not so much — it’s hard to be light-hearted about a sex crime but you can about a murder.

Well, it is easy for him. He just has to watch the beginning of the episode and the whole crime is laid out for him.

This is going to be exceptionally annoying for anyone who splits time between multiple households. My parents live in two separate households I split my time between, but I’m the netflix account holder. Their TV’s are hardly portable.

Matlock and In the Heat of the Night are better shows than pretty much anything on network TV right now

Seriously, if he wanted to engage in evasive male behavior, he could have just blamed his own memory and offered a half-hearted, insincere apology. Blaming the other person’s memory, calling them a child, and making passive aggressive references to your employer... That's like a ratatouille of annoying behaviors. 

While I enjoyed her quirky character on The Good Wife, it worked as seasoning for the dish. I question whether it will work as well as the main entrée.

“I am very disappointed with you, as are Luke Skywalker, no less than 7 dwarves, and that one computer that wore tennis shoes”.

Elsbeth is getting her own show because she’s hilarious. They didn’t order a show for a character that was irritating the audience. I’d wager there was a lot of fan response to wanting her to have her own show.

I like how there are so many people who want to be the first to comment about how he was a rat — AS IF every single person here would gladly take 30 years in prison on cocaine possession (and intent to distribute?) charges rather than rat out the dealer/supplier. All of you - myself included - would totally turn stool…

“All of us at Disney/ABC”

I chose to believe Pamela Anderson before, but now that I read his response I have zero doubt.
