They Did It Again!!!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Ditto what the title of this entry says, only DOUBLE YIKES!!!<\/p>\n<p>First, let me say that\u00a0I really am enjoying the Friday night television show <em>Blue Bloods<\/em>. I think that the producers were particularly clever in getting both Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg to star in the series&#8230; Both of them are actors who appeal to the two demographic age slots that control the television remotes. (Anyway, that&#8217;s what I am thinking&#8230; 40+year olds probably remember Selleck from all of his roles, and 40- year olds probably identify with Wahlberg. So, touch\u00e9, job well done to the casting department!)<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to complain (AGAIN!!!) about this one detail in &#8220;cop shows&#8221; that really grinds at me&#8230; but&#8230;. last night&#8217;s episode of <em>Blue Bloods<\/em> showed yet another television scene of what a SWAT team and two detectives looks like. (Actually, I hope that&#8217;s not what it looks like!!!)<\/p>\n<p>If any of you watched the show and were not bothered by the SWAT team scene&gt;&gt;&gt; Please stop reading this entry! I don&#8217;t want to put this little kernel into your\u00a0 thoughts when seeing a SWAT team scene in the future!<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there we have it&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; The SWAT team with all of their protective gear on, helmets, heavy body armor, all parts of their body covered with some type of protective gear&#8230; except for their faces, so that they could actually see what they were doing.\u00a0 And, here come the stars of the show&#8230;with their tight-fitting, little body &#8220;bib&#8221; gear on&#8230; and of course, the female main character has her long hair flowing in the breeze&#8230; No helmets for these two detectives, as they join in the gun firing.<\/p>\n<p>You may wonder about someone (me!) who is so &#8220;annoyed&#8221; by this type of UNreality on a cop show. I have to admit, I also wonder why something so small (like the two stars&#8217; lack of helmets and protective gear) but this type of thing\u00a0gets me wondering about the little &#8220;glitch&#8221;&#8230; while I should just be enjoying the show. I mean, I know it&#8217;s not a true life event, but really, can&#8217;t the producers\/directors of these shows at least try to seem a little more real?<\/p>\n<p>Or, is it in the &#8220;stars&#8221; contracts that at no time should their heads not be visible?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ditto what the title of this entry says, only DOUBLE YIKES!!!
