LET THE DIALOGUE BREATHE

THIS ISN'T LAW AND ORDER

IT'S OKAY TO HAVE A FEMALE CHARACTER WHO ISN'T A SAVVY NO NONSENSE POWERHOUSE WHOSE CLEVER RETORTS CONSISTENTLY LEAVE OTHERWISE COMMANDING MALE PRESENCES SPEECHLESS

AND STOP TEACHING MY CHILDREN THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PARENT WHO CAN RELATE TO THEIR TEENAGER. THOUGH I UNDERSTAND IT PRECLUDES EMPLOYMENT IN SHOWBUSINESS, HEALTHY FAMILY DYNAMICS, HAPPY MARRIAGES, AND WELL ADJUSTED CHILDREN DO EXIST OUTSIDE OF HOLIDAY SPECIALS

BUT MOST OF ALL, STOP TURNING ALL GREAT SCRIPTS INTO CHARACTER DRIVEN ENSEMBLE DRAMAS WITH INTERWOVEN LOVE INTERESTS AND AUDIENCE TARGETING SIDESTORIES THAT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE SPLICED FROM CANCELED LIFETIME MINISERIES IN POST
