The Good Guys Always Win -- Thank You Jack McCoy and Perry Mason

I've always loved cops and robbers shows. The shows where the bad guys always gets what is coming to him. In Hollywoodland, it usually works that way.

Daniel Boone tried to keep the wild westerners from using the "hanging" justice. Instead, he encouraged them to believe everyone deserved  fair trial. 
Marshall Matt Dillon also tried to abide by that same wisdom, though occasionally, he had to eliminate a bad dude with a bullet. Though I believe it would have been justly deserved. Who would ever question the Marshall?

Then there is the irrefutable Perry Mason. I think he only lost one case his entire television career! The most amazing part was how he always got the confession right there in the courtroom. Usually the bad man, or woman, confessed from the gallery. Brilliant!

Then over the years, the dramas grew darker and wackier. There was your standard cop shows such as Hill Street Blues and detective shows like Charlie's Angels. Then there's one of my favs, Twin Peaks. 

We hit the "jack"pot with Law and Order. He may not have won every case, but Jack McCoy was mesmerizing to watch give arguments in court.

There are the really disturbing shows like The Sopranos, CSI, Criminal Minds and Dexter. I don't know why I have always been drawn to such horribly dark stories.
I think it's because there is always resolution. The bad guys are caught and dealt
with.

There are all kinds of dark forces roaming around us shrouded as something else. I have a dark stranger that visited me in the form of cancer. I did not invite it in. It just invaded me. Cancer robbed a real piece of my physical being that I can never get back. And it still may be lurking. A team of medical professionals zapped me with high powered beams of radiation and toxic chemicals that supposedly eradicated the dark one. It was like a home invasion only it was in my body. I felt violated. I wish I could call upon Marshall Dillon to aim his rifle at that bastard cancer.

I will soon find out if the cancer has spread. Then I will need a full on SWAT team to come in.

I can visualize those officers repelling down into my lungs with
C-4 explosives to snuff out any unwelcome assassins.

"We should mobilize another unit to my liver and kidneys." Wow. I'm talking like a unit leader.

Somebody needs to call Lt. Van Buren and have her dispatch Detectives Brisco and Logan (they were my favs). Once intruders have been apprehended, take the suspects into custody.

And then again, I think maybe this time we won't need McCoy's great services.

I think this time it calls for the old wild west justice. Just blast the evil cancer seeds outta here. Annihilate them. They are guilty.

10-4. Copy that.
