|  #1 Posted on 14.9.04 0541.09 | Instant Rating: 6.18 | Wow. Maybe it's the norm to have a fast-paced, semi-decent show on with a a good soundtrack. I caught the last 45 minutes or so, and I was impressed. I did not give the show a chance at all, grouping it with Father of the Pride.
Maybe with the lower expectations, I was surprised.
Sure, there are contrived moments in the show, but for now, the pluses outweigh the minuses.
PS -- This does not mean that next week's L&O return including DENNIS FARINA~! will kick its ass... but still...

You know, if John Kerry weren't so darn electable, the Democrats would be panicking right now. Oh wait, he isn't and they are.

I haven't watched it, mainly becasue my expectations were also very low (as in, don't bother). I may give it a peek.

The only ones that interested me were "Father of the Pride" and "Medical Investigation." I remember "LAX" and "Hawaii" looking particularly bad.

Well, working in a hospital makes me think of something far less appealing than lacrosse. (hint, it starts with EX and ends with LAX)
Thank you for your irrelevant opinion.

-- The whole runaway dog skit.
-- Parts of the Filipino woman at Immigration track. The dog never lies. About what? Hell, the dog did a Chuck Barris-Gong Show-era sniff of doe-eyed Immigration guy's crotch. Huh?
I am digging the demoted cop vs. the would-be bomber. There's skeletons hopefully in both of their closets for each of their M.O.'s. | dwaters

How many shows has Heather Locklear been in now????
I wonder if they show LAX on the monitors at LAX?
That would be like watching "Cheers" at the Bull and Finch pub in Boston--or the time our bus trip video happened to be "Speed". |
