Why I Hate “Cold Case” on CBS The Worst Written Show on TV
Please note this is an upgraded post from something I had posted here months ago:
I watch “Cold Case” on CBS regularly even though I admit I hate the shows Detective Squad as well as how each case is solved by an unnecessary confession from the killer and then the victim’s ghost appears like in a music video, the end. No, I’m not on crack! Oh, and their Police Department is so well funded they can investigate murders that happened over 65 years ago even though the killer and the witnesses are likely dead and the evidence is no longer around!
The thing I hate most about “Cold Case” is the detectives attitudes and the fact that every lousy suspect who’s lived with the fact they’ve committed murder and kept their mouths shut for decades, the smart move, suddenly decides to confess to a crime that even if it went to court, they’d probably not be convicted for lack of physical evidence and reliable witnesses.
The Cold Case Squad think they have the right to go gangbusters and accuse every person they interview of being the Anti-Christ. These suspects in turn say they didn’t do it and like musical chairs turn the arrogant detectives onto another person to smirk at and be nasty too.
At the end of each episode, without any real solid evidence to actually get the murderer tried in court or convicted, the murderer who has concealed their “perfect crime” for like forever, suddenly decides without a lawyer present, to confess. Magically, the victim’s ghost then appears in a trance music video to swirling or slow dancing music. The end.
I realize “Cold Case” is supposed to be dramatic entertainment for which writers take dramatic liberties to fit the show in an hour format but its a lot easier for me to suspend belief for a show like “Prison Break” then “Cold Case”. “Cold Case” tries to present itself in a somber realistic manner but there are a lot of people watching and laughing who say, Bogus Man! Bogus because the lead actor, Detective Lily Rush and her crew, with always about 5 minutes to the episodes ending, convince murderers who have gotten away with it for ages by keeping their mouths shut, to suddenly open up and confess to a crime so they can feel better and live with themselves, disregarding the fact that even if it went to court, they’d probably not be convicted for lack of physical evidence and reliable witnesses. So for freeing their souls, the male murderers can look forward to being someones “girlfriend in jail” and regular poundings, lousy food, no private cable TV, etc. It seems to me that keeping your mouth shut is the smart play not confessing! Just once I’d like the murderer to say to the Cold Case Team, “Shove it clowns, I’m going to Disneyland” and then see the guy having fun at Disneyland on the rides with the “Cold Case Music Video Soundtrack” in the background.
If I had my way, as payback to the detectives, I’d also do a sequel to a previous episode where it now turns out that the detectives, pressured “the obvious killer” to give a false confession and he’s found innocent in Court and truly never did the crime. It would make a great season finale and give the detectives pause for thought on their methods. To top it off, you could have the Ghost of the victim then apearing when the killer is found innocent, finger scolding the detectives to the music of “Land of a 1000 Dances” going “Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah” and see the innocent non-killer smiling with a big grin. The End.
