Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]

I am now unreasonably annoyed at the poor prisoner handling procedure on Criminal Minds. The sheriff's deputies would never have removed him from transport in a public parking lot where the dad could shoot him. He would have been removed from in a secure underground garage. Also, they never would have left him with only one deputy to change clothes, and certainly not a female deputy.

Also, they never would have left him with only one deputy to change clothes, and certainly not a female deputy.

That's what happened with the Brian Nichols courthouse shootings in Atlanta. A female deputy was alone with him and took off his handcuffs so he could change his shirt. He overpowered her; took her gun; and killed a judge, court reporter, deputy and the owner of a car he stole.

That's my point. They don't do that anymore.

L&O: Did we know that McCoy has a daughter????

I love that Tom Everett Scott is cast as their Elliott Spitzer.

L&O: Did we know that McCoy has a daughter????

Yes, they've mentioned her a few times but always that they were estranged. There was one episode where someone leaked an article to the tabloids about how he doesn't speak with his own daughter. I was surprised to see someone ask about her as if he had a good relationship with her.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

He stopped drinking, so perhaps their relationship improved?

At least he knows her whereabouts.

CBS has an interactive new fall show grid - you can see clips from the new shows including "11th Hour" - which I thought was more a sci-fi/fantasy thing but looks more like a procedural. (And "The Mentalist" which also seems very much like a procedural.)

And I also meant to say (about L&O) that it's fun to see Melissa Leo.

L&O: Did we know that McCoy has a daughter

I thought "Yeah, and her name's Jessica or Paula or something and they were thinking of hooking her up with Kirk," then I realized that there are other McCoys in the fictional world than the one in Star Trek.

I'm such a geek.
