Why I Do Not Read the Jacket Copy, #446

[mrissa]

"Joining them this season is Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), who quickly learns there's nothing these agents would rather do than profile murderers and put them away!" -- the DVD box for my new Season 2 Criminal Minds DVDs

Now tell me honestly: isn't that on the list of lamest things ever? Seriously. It makes it sound like Mandy Patinkin is skipping around the plane singing, "We're gonna get a murderer, we're gonna get a murderer, wheeeee!"

Having tried to write synopses (shudder), I have some sympathy for the folks whose job it is to write these little thumbnails, but for heaven's sake.

Yup - give me 'we're not your generic cop show, really!' or 'OMG! ALL-CAPS-DRAMA!' but save me from any 'gosh isn't this going to be FUN!?' daytime chat show hostiness.
