It would have hurt less if they wouldn't have tried to shoehorn a slutty/unsympathetic/oblivious Mom and a wildchild/annoying/bitchy younger sister into the mix. I didn't need to know all about her family, too. (Why couldn't Mom go pick up Sis at the train station?)
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I didn't make it through the show - and I love crime shows.
I'm giving this show a serious pass.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I had decided to pass on In Plain SIght because I didn't like the ads (and I figured if it was really great I would hear and USA would show ten million reruns so I'd be able to un-miss it pretty easily if necessary) and y'all have filled me with sweet sweet validation. Ahhhh. Feels good.

I thought the ads were odd, in that the first round of ads was witness protection as wacky fun, then they changed to "she's the one you want to save you."
