#this brought to you by my mother being physically pained by that new fbi show#I dunno what it’s called#she really liked the first seasons of Bones and Criminal Minds and the old CSIs#but the interpersonal drama in the new stuff physically repels her#and also me#I don’t watch them you see because I know they will not fulfill my desire to watch little guys quip and Solve a Problem anymore#I’m sure many show still do this!!#don’t get me wrong#but the amount of shows that ratchet up tension with Cheating Spouses and Personal Vendettas and such is SUSPICIOUS#guys just write the soap opera you so dearly desire to#leave me with the silly little dregs#I know they’ve gotta make the show interesting but there’s a line#once the drama starts coming from extraneous sources beyond the main Crime Solving Squadbyoi have gone too far for your genre#BaffledOcto#I was told to release this theory upon the internet#please don’t hurt me police procedural squad#basic police procedural: Evil Occurs and is Thwarted/Arrested/Avenged—End Scene#Soap Opera Police Procedural: Evil Occurs—Evil Occurs—Someones Wife leaves them—Morality crisis—the entire season has one continuous plot#both can be fun#but you can see the issue if you’re going in for a lil bit of Cathartic Justice and you accidentally trip into Seinfield Lite#you ever take a bite of pizza and accidentlaly drag off all the toppings at once? it’s like that#I will now cast an evil spell and summon the police procedural people so they can kick my teeth in#csi#bones#ncis#fbi#blue bloods#criminal minds
