The review

A great many living rooms learned their idea of evidence from this lab: blue light, a pun, a culprit who breaks in the interview. Some of the respect for procedure is good. A fact is better than a hunch, and the show sometimes says so.

Every night, it teaches that a dead stranger is your puzzle and your entertainment. That teaching is the problem, the same problem as the other weekly corpses, with better glasses. One episode if you want the lab. Not the diet.

Live Historic number 31. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

NCIS

43 instead of 31

NCIS is still a crime show, and it scores 43 instead of 31. What you gain is household: Gibbs runs the squad like a stern father.

The eight

6
Industry
They swab, they photograph, they wait on a result. The procedure is the character.
2
Household
The dead person's family is a scene, rarely a mourning.
1
Piety
No sacred remainder. A person is evidence.
4
Courage
They follow the sample into ugly rooms.
4
Republic
A city, a lab funded to reassure the evening.
2
Temperance
The corpse is the cold open, lit to be looked at.
4
Truth
Science is respected. The tidy guilt at minute fifty is a fiction.
2
Stewardship
What it hands the night is the feeling that a death is a solvable style.

How I Met Your Mother

31Leave it.

The umbrella is a tenderness. The scoreboard is the rot. Not the story to tell your children.

The review

The frame is a father telling his children how he met their mother. That frame is a stewardship, and the show betrays it for most of its run, because a notch was easier to write than a fidelity. The yellow umbrella, and a few promises kept, are the argument for the tenderness still in it.

Do not let a teenager take the bar as a map of how to spend their twenties. If you already love the umbrella, you can say what you love and still turn off the scoreboard. The children in the frame deserved a shorter, truer story.
