NANCY DREW AND THE DECAPITATED, MUTILATED BODY

No one can dispute the claim that CSI: Las Vegas is a popular show, so popular in fact that it has given rise to CSI: New York, CSI: Miami, CSI: Dakar, CSI: Boise.  Network executives should never question the appeal of exposed wounds and realististic autopsies and corpses showing nip and everything!  NBC's Joey is making that mistake.  What other crime-solver is also popular?  No, not Scooby Doo (definitely not).  Nancy Drew.  She's still going strong after six decades of sleuthing.  Nancy Drew's first mystery was "The Secret of the Old Clock" (1930), which is definitely a stirring adventure, but let's combine the appeal of CSI and of Nancy Drew, and let ol' Nancy probe a cadaver for vital clues instead of an old clock.  I'd like to see her test vital organs for protein degradation and amino-acid breakdown as she pursues a maniacal, homicidal chiropodist with porphyria, who wants to see all of the barbers, Boy Scouts, and firemen of Nancy's hometown of River Heights DEAD.  Not just dead, but decapitated and mutilated (all of their feet would be chopped off; the guy's a maniacal chiropodist, you see).  I have already provided the title for the first in this new ND/CSI series of hard science and mass appeal.

Except the Christian Right is just as opposed to CSI as they are to the Potter Books. One member of this groups writes: "Caution -- Though we first thought CSI was great and watched it every week, we are backing off from our initial enthusiasm. Graphic pictures of wounds and dead people have turned our stomachs. Then the episode about the brothel, with nudity and sexual abuse pictured, changed our minds completely. By the end of that episode, the madam of the brothel was being favorably compared to the main character, a mom just making a living and doing her best. We have stopped watching."

Finally something to get kids away from those damn Harry Potter books. Let's not teach kids about magic...let's teach them about a career in forensics. So when they commit a crime (murder, theft, insider trading) they will be better about covering it up.
