In Which Gracie Is Still Pissy

Reason #687,412 why TWoP is pretentious and stupid:

(from TWoP 10: Reasons Why NCIS Is Suddenly Huge)

We tend to ignore this military formulaic cop/crime show, and so does everyone else in the critical world. The only time it comes up is when we annually wonder how it is still on. However, people are watching it. And lots of them. It had a record high last week. And we don't even know anyone who regularly tunes in. But somehow there are 18 million people who like this show. We examine a few of the possible reasons why the show has had such a sudden surge in viewers.

And later in the piece, reason #483,967 why TWoP has its head stuck up its collective ass, where snarky and bitchy trumps common sense and reality.

10. It's kinda not a bad show
Maybe it's a little too procedural (but then so is House) and maybe the team is a little quirky (but so is Bones) and maybe there's already so many crime scene dramas on (all the CSIs), but somehow it all kind of works together. It's got a good cast, is pretty well-written and just does its thing. Yay for consistency. There's way worse programming to be watching on TV. Trust us. It may face some trouble when Idol comes back, but until then let it have its moment in the sun.

Hey, TWoP? News flash. NCIS has been going up against AI for years. It does just fine. Does it beat the reality show juggernaut? Nope. But it has consistent, solid ratings...which is partly why it has survived to a SIXTH SEASON. Morons.

*sigh* I think I might have PMS. :)
