Well, intersex is probably somewhat similar in concept…

We have a town named Middlesex. A newspaper headline once read, "Middlesex Man Shot". My friend looked at me, puzzled, and said, "What the hell is a middlesex man?".

HI MR.DAY!

I proudly accept the Dayly Line of the Day Award.

I definitely have to watch this show just to see if they use a comment like it somewhere in their scripts. I'm sure I'm not the first one to think of it.

That thought crossed my mind

That thought crossed my mind as well, Ramona. Battle Creek, hmmm, something interesting must have gone on there! But, they could have picked Bad Axe just as easily. Or Naughty Hatchet as an old local weatherman used to call it. Or Hell. Or Paradise. None of those places have a thriving meth business though....as far as I know.

Yeah, about that cereal killer comment. I forgot the "badump dump" after it.

Maybe they just saw the name "Battle Creek" and thought they could make something violent out of it. Maybe they've never been to Battle Creek and don't really care. But we care!

(BTW, caught that "cereal killer". Clever!)

In reply to RACHEL MADDOW IN NEW COP SHOW!

Now, I don't want to take anything away from the fabulous Rachel Maddow, or her Doppelganger, but there's a new cop show coming out in the fall called Battle Creek set in Battle Creek, Michigan of all places.

I say of all places because Battle Creek is the home of Kellogg's and Post cereal companies for crying out loud and not really a great location for the high drama of a cop show unless, of course, they are going to be chasing cereal killers every week.

About the only criminal thing that goes on in Battle Creek is the thriving meth trade, which is interesting because the producer of the show also produced Breaking Bad, a show about a thriving meth trade. I'm sensing a pattern here.

Anyhoo, Taxi Brooklyn or Battle Creek -- a cop show is a cop show is a cop show -- it's the character development and the chemistry between characters that makes one show rise above another. Audiences love idiosyncrasies and the writers who know this have the more successful shows. I mean, Sherlock Holmes has been around for what seems like forever and the more idiosyncrasies Doyle wrote into him, the more people loved him, much to the annoyance of Doyle.

I'm actually looking forward to watching this fall, or "mid-season". whatever the hell that means.

(Pssst ... actually, Dick knows Maddow isn't on the show. He's planning to pitch the idea to The Onion, using "... Rachel likes men but pretends otherwise" as the clincher.)
