Fug Case

I have a weird obsession that I have not yet aired in this space (I know, you'd think the thing about how I watch The Ghost Whisperer would have been the very last of the dirty laundry). And it is with the CBS procedural drama Cold Case. Which I do not watch, although I enjoyed how CBS's Sunday programming last year all rhymed, with The Amazing Race, Cold Case and Without a Trace, all in a neat little row. There is one very specific reason that I do not watch Cold Case, despite the fact that I work from home and therefore have a lot of time to watch television, and find procedural dramas kind of relaxing. I mean, you know what you're getting on Law and Order: Whichever.  There will be grousing, and lies discovered as well as bodies, and at the end of it, Sam Waterston will look like he needs a drink. But I have excluded Cold Case from my rotation, for one reason: Kathryn Morris's terrible, terrible hair extensions. I was thinking about picking it up, and then, one summer, I saw the ads for the new season and she'd gone from having Shortish Brainy No-Nonsense Inspector of Murders and Keeper of Terrible Personal Secrets hair to having this hair:

Which is ridiculously fake and ridiculous, full stop. It looked even worse in a CBS CARES PSA that was running for years about...oh, who knows? Thinking of the children, or something. For the last few years, I've been noting to people that Kathryn Morris's extensions are the most tragic I've ever seen and I am boycotting them. Those people would then, of course, roll their eyes and ask me if I had any more gin.

So it was with great glee that I saw that Kathryn Morris has 86ed the old fake hair:

There's something still marginally disheveled going on here,  but she looks cute (the top is adorable). I mean, I love big fake hair as much as the next girl, but it's surprisingly refreshing  to see an actress with all her natural stuff.

Of course, if she sticks her fake hair back in for the new season of Cold Case, I'll have to return to my boycotting ways.

And also probably stock up on gin.
