the blogger: tv’s love affair with nouns

okay, i get it, something had to go up against the mentalist (aka smiles a lot), but the listener? when my sister (who has a medical background more extensive than merely watching e.r.) wasn’t pointing out emt-related “that would never happens,” we were making fun of the 11-year-old boy haircut they chose for their lead. um, hello, it’s louis skolnick from revenge of the nerds calling, and he wants his haircut back.

and when there’s the effortless and consistently underappreciated / underawarded tim roth laying down how it’s supposed to be done on lie to me, do we really have time for another “ist” or “er”?

what could be next: the smeller? no, wait, the olfactorer?

yeah, smells fishy.

and i gotta give my favorite show, dexter, a pass because:
a. even though it ends in “er,” it’s a proper noun, which is, you know, a whole ‘nother story.
b. they avoided the slow death that would have been calling it the serial killer(erererer) or the knifeist? (aka slices a lot).

dear tv: thanks for the attempter. better luck next noun.
