Maybe they're right, that the boob tube really does shorten our attention spans. Because we can't begin to understand why the NYPD still has no clue on yesterday's consulate bombing in midtown (they're not even sure the Brits were the target anymore) when we know Sipowicz would have figured it out, found the skell junkie behind it, and even had a quick existential crisis, all in just an hour. (Even better: Fontana and Green would have it wrapped up in just a half-hour or so, because McCoy needs his chance to work up some righteous indignation.) It sucks when life isn't like TV. JO
