More movie and TV show titles if they were a lot more honest 1. Of all the people in Seattle, the only people you’re going to sleep with are your coworkers in this one freaking hospital? Seriously? 2. Vampires, ghosts, and other beasties are real, accepted as commonplace, and totally up to date with style trends and pop culture. 3. I know “History” implies a long time, but all this old Hitler footage is free to use, so that’s what you’re getting. 4. Crime lab technicians running around shooting people, interrogating people, and doing all kinds of other cool stuff no real crime lab tech would ever actually do 5. Naked People doing otherwise ordinary things 6. Jailbirds and Jailbait 7. Wish Fulfillment Fantasy For Everyone Who Wishes They Were So Goddamned Good At Their Job That They Could Treat Everyone Like Shit Without Repercussion, M.D. 8. Junk you wouldn’t look at twice in a store but will actually consider buying after you listen to this thirty minute commercial 9. Watch Us Take This Poor, Dysfunctional, Unpopular Family, Film Them Acting Horribly, Drinking, and Fighting and Make The Rich And Famous! (Until The Show Is Cancelled, then They Go Right Back to Where They Started!) 10. Liberal comedians cracking up liberal audiences with videotapes artfully doctored to make prominent conservatives look goofy. 11. Over 2 hours of poorly developed plot, shoehorned love interest, and overblown CGI effects. 12. Camera crew follows civil servants around all day, tries to make their lives seem exciting. 13. The 4-1/2-hour-each-way drive from NCIS headquarters to Norfolk that we do at least twice daily Show. (featuring Abby) Pass ---
