THE EVIDENCE — by Steve Nadis

I’ve seen ads on TV for a new kind of show, “The Evidence,” that features a new kind of gimmick. “We provide the evidence,” the ad says. “You solve the crime.” That sounds like too much work for the average coach potato. (I’m not one yet but I aspire to be one soon.) Whatever happened to screenwriters? Are they all on strike? I’d like to suggest an alternative proposal to ABC: “You write the story. We watch the show.” (Well not me, actually, but maybe somebody will watch it–not that the world is actually hurting for another crime drama. Hence the gimmick, I assume.)

    I’m with you Snake. I watch TV for the mind mush — not to do someone else’s job.

    Not wanting to think while watching TV may help explain how Bush stays in office.

    I like that expression “mind mush,” WFW. You’re not suggesting our president suffers from that, are you Doc?
