P C VI

TV's "Life on Mars" is a guilty pleasure for all of us who eschew political correctness. It's a police drama set six years after Miranda and the establishment of the NOW, so it's completely and humorously unrealistic, because in 1973 the police wouldn't have conducted warrantless searches, "tuned up" suspects, or nicknamed a (cute) female police officer No-Nuts.

And after 69-year-old Harvey Keitel picked a fight with his own officer (our hero), that same Adonis went home to encounter a nude nymphet in the hall of his seedy hotel, heading to the community bathroom. Unlikely, possibly offensive, fun? You bet! If you allow yourself to be easily offended, watch something else.
