Amurricans suck. What a horrid premise — a detective using his own prejudices and assumptions to crack cases. How novel. That so many of you watch this garbage reinforces my thought that Amurrican mainstream TV viewers aren’t worth oxygen.
amurrican? o..k.. its american, if yur gonna insult us atleast do it rite. loser.
Didn’t they already give it most of a full season order? Or was that a different show?
They had given an order for 6 more scripts a couple of weeks ago.
Ah, for some reason I thought that they had actually ordered the episodes.
