10-8
I've really taken a liking to the the ABC show on Sunday night, 10-8. If you don't know this show, its about these rookie LA Sheriff's deputies who are going through their dreaded probationary period with their respective Training Officers. It's a definite show to watch if you're involved with civil service in any way. Some of the situations they find themselves in is funny. Some of them gut wrenching. Some just leaves you thinking about even life itself. I am however saddened that next Sunday's episode will be the season finale. I read somewhere that the execs at ABC are evaluating whether or not to continue this series. Darn. I hope it makes it to season 2 at least.

I think the reason why the show speaks to me greatly by and large because of the main character and his thoughts on what he sees during his shift. Danny Nucci's character, Deputy Amonte, usually has a voice-over narration in the beginning and the end where he seems to make observations on humanity. He's goes though his mind over things like right and wrong, the state of the modern American family, the short-comings of county social services, and everything else that bothers him. Usually he contrasts that with things he's done growing up or brings up certain biblical principles to examine.

I guess I take a shine to this for a very specific reason. If you've known me for a long time, you may notice that I do this quite a bit. There are many times, where I am angered over, whine, rant, rave, saddened, and even cry about the iniquities of society and why sometimes I feel like I'm powerless to make so much as a dent into it. I guess watching the show brings about a certain comfort to me and to realize that how I feel isn't quite so far-fetched.

Whatever the case, I hope the show continues on.
