Oswald (2001)
Oswald's Name
In response to the Social Worker who was worried that children would grow up and learn that Oswald was the name of a murderer and somehow this would cause them stress- I must say that is about the silliest thing I have ever heard. Lee Harvey Oswald, of course, has two other names as well, should we likewise ban Lee and Harvey? Will listening to Paul Harvey or watching Harvey Kietel in a movie be a traumatic experience? I know I am being a little over the top here, but I I'm just trying to make a point. If these kids (and my daughter is one of them) grow up attaching a good connotation to "Oswald" then the show has successfully rescued an unpopular name.
By the way, I'm sure the name "Oswald" was chosen because it begins with an "O" thus "Oswald the Octopus." I heard the first two choices for names were "Orenthal" (as in Orenthal James Simpson) and Othello (of Shakespeare fame)and strange enough- they both were murderers too!
McBride: Tune in for Murder (2005)
Agatha Christie it ain't
A drunk Barny Fife could have figured this one out in 5 minutes. One man tries to frame another man for a murder by killing a mutual co-worker. He then calls the "fall-guy" to come to the "co-worker's house. He then calls the cops with an awful sliced together tape. But get this -he doesn't even leave the murder weapon at the scene of the crime! Now the framed man is caught at the scene with the dead man at his feet. Sounds like an open and shut case right? But where is the murder weapon? The police don't seem to mind that this would be impossible and go ahead with the prosecution. McBride easily gets the defendant off the hook. OK never mind, just don't watch it if it ever comes on again.
