Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Men detectives wear suits while women detectives wear tight jeans and tank tops.

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

But that just makes me hate the character.

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.

Heh. The latest Harper's index points out that the number of murders in the three Law and Orders last season was greater than the number of homicides that actually occurred last year in Manhattan.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Does Cantebury's Law count as a procedural? I like the show, but as someone who grew up in RI, I have to say, Narragansett hospital does not exist and the actor pronounced it weird. Then they showed the sign for Rhode Island hospital, so why not just call it by it's real name in the first place?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Narragansett hospital does not exist and the actor pronounced it weird.

I hate it when they pronounce hospital as in hospitality. Oh, wait, they mispronounced Narragansett? That's unpossible. Wait till they have to do Usquepaug or Apponaug or Newport or something.

I hadn't realized CL was set in Rhody. Now I have to watch an episode.

I didn't realize it either.

Of course, the fact that Fox has replaced it on Monday nights with repeats of House and moved it to Friday night bodes ill for the show.

Oh come on - everyone who has ever had that beer has declared it Nastygansett, so why is another mispronunciation so hard to believe?
