I love crime shows, whether real or fake. There are full channels of them now and I even found a satellite radio station of murder trials. I just watched one, though, called Disappeared. After an hour, I realized they never found the family that disappeared. I just spent an hour of my life watching a cop say, “We thought it was a drug deal.” Then they spend 8 minutes speculating about that…only to say they weren’t on drugs. Then they said the wife was on meds and talked about that for 8 minutes…only to have every person say the wife didn’t do anything. This bullshit went on and on and I watched the whole thing – they didn’t answer any questions and I wasted my time. I was so angry I turned the channel and found out Law and Order: SVU was on a marathon on USA. There goes my afternoon/evening. That show is exactly the same every episode, but I have to watch, much like a Van Damme movie.
The other thing I hate about crime shows is when everyone says the same thing about the victim – “They were so outgoing and nice.” Do any dickheads get killed? “Steve was a real piece of shit, oh…you need a compliment? Well…he kept a nice lawn…um…oh and he didn’t punch any children recently.”
