On a related note, Seeds, can you tell us what recent portrayals of homosexuality have you so feeling as you do?

Forensic accounting, so hot right now. :mellow:
compared to... lawyers tv show? Definately!

So, lawyers shows = hot.  Doctors shows = hot.  Vetirinary shows = hot.  But not forensic accounting? 

I fail to see the difference.  Overtly exagerated tv script based on actuality.  Lots of weird cases.  Lots of extra-marital relationships at the office.  Girls will dig it, especially the ones for whom fidelity&honesty is the most important thing in a couple.

Forensic accounting has typically shown up as something that the dorky specialist does to assist on a case. :D
so as the coroner or moritician, yet, we had Quincy and Six feet Under ;)
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Yeah, and FBI Agents are (or at least used to be) essentially forensic accountants, and the show The FBI ran 9 years.

Oh we've had several shows about coroners/medical examiners. Body of Proof may have tanked but Rizzoli & Isles is still long running...and for all intents and purposes Bones counts in the group. Let alone the multitude that is CSI.  Of course all of those (and from my research on Quincy) may have coroners as main characters but they always are essentially police procedurals.

No, seriously, it used to be that to become an FBI agent, you had to be an accountant.  Or at least, that was my understanding.

Not too far from the truth, actually.

I did see "The Interview", free on Netflix.  I wouldn't say it was painful, but if it was showing while I was stuck on a plane there might be a hostage situation   I came up with a much funnier premise for a film involving Kim Jong Un.

I dunno. It's kinda funny.

But mostly lame and would have been entirely unmemorable if it hadn't been for stunts pulled out of NK.

Agree it's unmemorable, unless "honey dick" becomes a commonly used expression and we are forcefully reminded of it.
