twoweevilsK here, pinch-hitting for M, who is currently recovering after a Day from Hell at work that was made even more hellacious by the fact that she has caught my cold.
Sniffling and wheezing we both may be, but we still have The Happy.
Today it's The Unusuals. It's a cross between Homicide and Barney Miller, with just a touch of Oz for good measure in the form of Terry Kinney and Harold Perrineau. They even included the classic "photocopier as lie detector" bit!
Plus, at least one of their writers has to be a fan--and I'm guessing it's a fangirl, as others have mentioned--it's just too much of a coincidence that there are characters named Kowalski and Walsh, as well as (in a brief appearance) Snape. There's also a detective named Banks, so I'm keeping my eyes open for appearances by an Ellison or a Sandburg.
And, if you're space fangirls like us, the squad's sergeant has a spacesuit standing in the corner of his office and a picture of himself on the Vomit Comet hanging on the wall! Plus, Amber Tamblyn, who seriously is getting better-looking every time I see her--and she wears normal clothes and sensible shoes, not tank tops and high heels like most female TV detectives. What's not to like?
