'Smile Time'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Huh. I thought spousal privilege meant that you weren't forced to testify against your spouse, not that you weren't allowed to.
This was also my understanding, based on the many years of watching Law & Order
However, I may have merely been mesmerized by Sam Waterston's eyebrows. Give 'em hell, McCoy!

You definition may be correct, depending upon the state involved -- it really does vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

NY may be different than California.
(is anyone unclear where Anaheim is? Is it not true that it is in a different county and not actually in LA?)
The Detroit Pistons are not only not in Detroit, they're not in the same county. I think it's the same with the Lions. The Tigers and Redwings are right downtown, though.
NY may be different than California.
Indeed. Also, fiction may be different than reality. It's all good. Except Waterston's eyebrows.

I may or may not be in the throes of a sugar high.

From what I've seen and read, the folks at "Law & Order" do try to be accurate about NY law. I remember a few eps with the law in other jurisdictions being an issue -- a cross-over with "Homicide" demonstrated the differences between NY and Maryland law on some matters.
Well, it's true that the NY Giants play in New Jersey, but then, where were they gonna play, White Plains? Also, New Jersey has its own football team.
Once upon a time the Dodgers were the Brooklyn Dodgers rather than the New York Dodgers, but at least that was a matter of specificity. (The Yankees are, sadly, not officially the Bronx Yankees, although it would be excellent fodder for crude jokes if they were.)
The Yankees are the Bronx Bombers.
I guess I understand why even though they play outside the city, it’s the Detroit Pistons rather than the Auburn Hills Pistons but if your team has been the Anaheim Angels for years now, and in fact plays in Anaheim, which is also a major city, you should not get to change your name to the LA Angels for no good reason.
Again, this bugs me way out of proportion to what it should, and I have no decent explanation for that. Except maybe that I hate the Angels anyhow for beating SF in a world series.
Also? If my husband molests a child I don’t care what laws I have to break to testify against him, if I don’t kill him first.
The Chicago Bears are the Monsters of the Midway.
(Just didn't want this to be an all-costal discussion.)

Is it? (that's not a challenge, just a question -- despite being in SoCal for a couple years, I wasn't aware from the Midwest or outside the country that it was -- hell, from outside the country California only had LA and SF for the longest time (SB and SD slowly dawned))
