crime tv

The only crime drama I watch on tv is COPS. I've come to realize that there is too much real life drama that I don't need to watch it on tv. The other night, my sweetie and I were playing around on the computer and after the news, some crime drama came on. The storyline was parallel to that of the Waco tragety that occurred many years back. (David Koresh and all that mess) and it struck me that this is why I have no desire to sit on my butt and watch them turn tragedy into "entertainment". Think about it, all they do is change the names and a few details. Why would anyone want to watch this filth? COPS we watch together. I grew up in the police station and learned all the types of behaviors and how-to-s everyone (in my mind) should know. But I don't have the job that my mom did...although I would love to do that!!... so we watch COPS and hopefully my kiddos are picking up on the wrongs and rights of reality. Not some made up filth that glorifies the horror stories that plague the headlines.

Law & Order and Criminal Minds are 2 of my favorite shows! They're both really good! And they show you even more than COPS what types of people and dangers to avoid... but not suitable for the little ones.

Work went well, shut down two bars and learned all the 'good' guys love me and all the 'bad' guys hate me. It's funny how that works. I do enjoy my job and know that everyday, not just bar sweep days, I put myself in danger because I am so hated. I guess this is as close as I will get to working with the cops...it's good for me!!

I guess my last comment didn't go through... or maybe wasn't accepted.

Sorry Christi, it wasn't rejected... I just haven't had the time to get on here and moderate. It's been that crazy around here!!! :)

Glad to know that my opinion wasn't just kicked to the curb!
