Well, there may have been some problems with what they did, journalistically speaking, ultimately the police were in charge. I don't have a problem with what the police did.
Sure, it's questionable, but I think the threat of public shame is the only true deterrent that could make someone think twice about doing something like this, even the threat of criminal prosecution is probably not enough.
It wasn't because they ran out. NBC put a stop to the series because they were sued by the family of a prominent district attorney in Texas who killed himself before being exposed on TV. The lawsuit should have been quickly dismissed but in a very questionable decision the court allowed it to proceed, at which point…
would you prefer the pedophiles met with actual prepubescents?
Are you saying that DA's and judges and defense attorneys, who also make their living from crime, including pedophilia, are sick?
This is one reboot I can fully support!

Strenuously disagree. My favorite mass market candy bar is Watchamacallit (sic?). 100 Grands are good too.
Anyone want to switch seats?
and Guys and Dolls. And Camelot. And The Producers (2005).
There was music when Jimmy goes into his office and plugs in the phone, but yeah, otherwise no scoring.
I think it's the very real threat of criminal prosecution. I don't remember the details of the last few episodes all that well but I think by the end the feds had a lot of evidence about the Walter White operation and could easily trace lots of wrongdoing to Saul.
On the insider podcast they say that the roles were auditioned with "dummy" sides, meaning that they were scenarios created out of nowhere and not related to anything on the show. Hamlin and Nacho were auditioned that way. It's implied the other characters were as well.
Yes, I was definitely thinking Michael McKean.
"So you feel women and children first in this day and age is somewhat of an antiquated notion?"
Yes but I don't think that matters to whether the facility is "acting in interstate commerce" which would open it up to federal RICO suits. If the facility dispenses one medication that is from outside New Mexico (and it obviously does) it's considered acting in "interstate commerce."
Not really a nitpick, but I was just thinking that in real life it wouldn't make any difference that they had found a billing invoice from a Nebraska syringe company. I'm a lawyer, but I don't do litigation so I could be way off, but I thought all health care operations were presumed to be operating in interstate…
I'm a lawyer and I really like the show. Yes, certain things are exaggerated or implausible but they serve the story well and don't really bother me. It also gets a lot right or is at least based on real legal things, like when the lawyer threatens Jimmy wit Rule 11 sanctions, which are a real thing in the Federal…
I should add that I'd watch pretty much anything with Harry Anderson, including a Night Court continuation/sequel/reboot. Don't know if anyone remembers but he once hosted one of those "wacky video" shows but instead of just hosting it and telling jokes he spent the whole time pointing out that each of the videos was…
