NYPD Blue
I watched the series premiere Tuesday night. It was pretty good. It's kind of a weird show. And you do have to get used to the swoopy cameras. Okay, first of all, Jimmy Smits is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. He is so wonderful, adorable, sincere, honest, trusting... and he loves that girl he works with, whatever her name is. So of course he asks her to marry him in this totally adorable way. And of course she has to "think about it." And then they fight. She never does say yes. Sigh.
I don't care what anybody says, I have a hard time liking that Andy guy (the one with the mustache). He's so prickly. I know, I know, he's actually soft underneath, blah blah blah, but really, he just glares too much for me. Enough with the hard shell already!
But now, what really gets me is all the damn unneccessary nudity. Hello! I mean, I'm not really square, but I don't need to be seeing Andy's wife all naked like that, or Bobby and what's-her-face getting it on in every single episode. Sheesh. First of all, that's like, private, okay? And second, if I felt like watching that, I'd go rent one of those movies, if you catch my drift. I'm here to watch some nice, violent TV, thank you very much. I don't want to see her tushie of which I am extremely jealous.
Now, I know NYPD Blue is known for its naughty language and its nudity, but I hadn't actually seen any of that the first few times I watched it. I only started watching it the last two seasons. And I don't appreciate the swearing (even though I myself am a potty-mouth), but I can live with it. (It's this weird hypocritical thing.)
But that naked thing. Mmph.
