I'm curious if there were more murders on TV in NYC than there actually were in NYC in real life in a recent year. - crash davis Sep 22, 10:36 18
- NYC had 494 reported homocides in 1997. -- nm - TWuG Sep 22, 10:39
- 523 reported murders in NYC in 2008. That's the equivalent of 21 NYC-based murder procedurals - Roger More Sep 22, 10:38 5
  - That is way more than I would have guessed, like 300+ more. -- nm - Krusty Sep 22, 10:45 4

      - Baltimore needs to pick it up a bit, can't let Detroit win at anything. - Krusty Sep 22, 10:53

        From your lips to God's ear. -- nm - znufrii Sep 22, 10:43 5
        
        I hate him more every day, the crap he pulled to run again makes me as angry as I've ever been at an elected official in this city. -- nm - Krusty Sep 22, 10:47 3
        
        It's not even that, so much as I just don't think he's done a great job. - znufrii Sep 22, 10:51 2
        
        I agree, I don't like how he's run the city and that's my main objection to him as mayor. I was just pointing out that I've never disliked another - Krusty Sep 22, 10:57 1
        
        His going around the vote of the people of NYC on term limits was something that I can't get over. -- nm - Krusty Sep 22, 11:00

    - where? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 10:46 4
      - in snow. - ty97 Sep 22, 10:47 3
        
        seriously though, just get a good pair of hiking boots. -- nm - decline Sep 22, 10:50 2
        
        this should do, yeah. Although the snow is probably pretty damp in chicago - maybe there are waterproof hiking boots? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 10:51 1
        
        of course. City living = lots of slush -- nm - decline Sep 22, 10:52
    - sandals -- nm - decline Sep 22, 10:44

    - It's Chicago, you better go for the full blown snow mobile suit -- nm - decline Sep 22, 10:45
    - Whatever you get, go for utility (dry and warm). You're too old to be a fashion maven. :) - CovingtonCat Sep 22, 10:44 1
      - One is never too old to be a fashion maven! -- nm - ty97 Sep 22, 10:55

  - How very proud the left must be to play the race card... - Stephen Sep 22, 10:58 3

I don't think I will watch NCIS: LA tonight....even though I love NCIS. -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 10:23 16

  - gonna give it a shot. -- nm - Remlik Sep 22, 10:44
- I've never watched NCIS, but NCIS LA seems to have the mean, elfish judge lady from Picket Fences - ty97 Sep 22, 10:31
- speaking as someone who lives in LA, there might be one case a year that an "NCIS" team would even need to be called in on -- nm - shamu Sep 22, 10:26 4
  - I foresee many "road" eps to San Diego - con_carne Sep 22, 10:29

    - funny that Jack Bauer never has to go into South Central to solve any crimes. they'd f his sh!t up -- nm - shamu Sep 22, 10:29 1

- i am gonna give it a try - tRuMaN Sep 22, 10:25
- Robin + LLCoolJ = TV FAIL. -- nm - Shaun Sep 22, 10:24 4
  - I can't take the TV show seriously just by the goofy faces they're pulling on the poster -- nm - Roger More Sep 22, 10:31
  - SheFox loves NCIS and hates those two. So, we'll see how long this lasts. -- nm - TFox Sep 22, 10:29
  - the only time I want to watch LL Cool J on my TV for is when he is fighting intelligent sharks with the Punisher. -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 10:26 1
    - This is true -- nm - oblique Sep 22, 10:26
