don't you mean

Also, what is it with women attorneys on television wearing suits that appear to be two sizes too small?

I think it's the "shrunken jacket" craze. On tiny women, it looks trendy. On big women, it looks like you're trying to wear something you shouldn't.

I am once again out of step with modern fashion. Even in small women, fabric straining against a single button just looks like they're wearing the wrong size. The jacket bunches. The top underneath sticks out funny. I think I notice it most in television attorneys because they're standing up and gesturing. It also emphasizes one of the television differences between men and women that's a constant niggling irritation. Men wear ordinary suits. Women wear inappropriately sexy clothes. Men detectives wear suits while women detectives wear tight jeans and tank tops.

That drives me nuts about CSI, but ESPECIALLY about Numbers (not that I watch it any more).

I choose to believe that it's character development @@. Although I think that sometimes they deliberately try to make other women look unattractive. Other women are usually crying witnesses or spouses of victims or fugitive, or other law enforcement professionals, who never seem to wear makeup or comb their hair)

I've been really liking the costumes on Dexter with regard to this. Dexter's sister, who got a recent promotion to homicide, started dressing in pantsuits and buttondown shirts-- and they seem sort of low end, and a littl ebit stretchymatching her salary. The men are actually wearing polo shirts or hawaiian shirts (it is Florida). It seems to fit with her character's desire to move ahead in her career, while actually seeming practical and like she could do police work

well, yes. But I've come to terms with hating Megan. I like her better than the first woman they had. Which is not saying much.

If it weren't for her voice, I wouldn't have known who the heck she was.
