Criminal Tip of the Day: Tip Line

Ok, so from NUMB3RS we learned tonight that the more tips to a tipline, the harder it is to figure out what's real and what's not. So if you're ever wanted for a crime, start calling the tip line. Or make sure someone else is, because if you just stay at one pay phone reporting false locations eventually they'll track down your real location.

Or course, if the FBI asks a mathematician to consult, that will all be for not.

"Homicide: Life on the Street" taught us about the futile nature of tip lines and offering rewards years ago. If they changed the name of "Numb-three-rs" I'd watch it... the two episodes I saw weren't bad and I'm a fan of nearly everyone in the cast, but the show's title is an insult to my intelligence. That's saying a lot... not being too intelligent myself, I'm not easy to insult.

Now that "Scrubs" has wrapped for the season, I can enjoy the first half of Fox's "House," a not so bad series with a dorky but non-insulting title.

Yeah, I swore "no more new shows" but have found myself watching Numb3rs anyway. (That's the only thing I don't like.. how much worse it looks in proper caps.) Get past the name, it's a pretty enjoyable show.

Now that the season is ending, I'm looking forward to catching all the episodes of Scrubs I've missed this season and maybe pick up some Without a Trace which looked interesting but I never saw. And maybe go back and see what CSI:Mondays are doing these days.
