Midsomer Mediocrity

I find Midsomer Murders incredibly irritating - surely half the town should be dead by now as at least a few die each episode - but we still seem to end up stuck in front of it every now and then.

Had to laugh last night as they would must have a screenwriter who sneaks a few gems in amongst the kitsch. "Beauty is too small a word, it's like saying the ocean is a bit wet." - paraphrased but a bit above the usual.

Law and Order is also worth a laugh as they must have a staffer who comes up with a pun or two at the start of each episode to end scenes. Akin to 'he must have struck a chord' when someone dies by the 'hand' of anything musical.

I think it was "Beautiful is too small a word, It's like saying the ocean is wet"

no?
