Another Reason Why I Hate Hollywood

[WuDrWu]

Sorry but I had to vent but I'll try and keep it short.


First, I'm taking a break from lawn work, sitting down checking what's on and I catch the JAG/NCIS marathon on USA. I loved JAG and never got into NCIS. The first part of the episode I was watching has an officer die of unknown causes on AF1 after lunch with the President.

AF1 diverts to Wichita, KS.....now here's where I get mad....why Wichita? Well, Boeing IDS does extensive work on the planes that serve the President so that makes sense, on the surface....and I am about to give them credit for doing some research.

Then they decide to describe AF1 landing at Mid Continent Airport.....ok hotshots....nice job there.

Then the County Coroners office arrives......from Wichita County......good God could they do LESS research? What would that have taken.....5 minutes from a gaffer to come up with the correct info?

I don't even mind the slow Okie/Texas drawl they decided to give the guy.....an accent I have never heard anywhere in Kansas....but really....Wichita County and AF1 not at McConnell AFB?

These guys in Hollywood are so stupid.....but yet so many think they are brilliant.

We're talking about a FICTIONAL program, right?

But I agree, get it right if you're going to get that close to reality.

That doesn't surprise me Doc. I could understand some small details being missed but that stuff is pretty basic right there.
