Bull is bull!

I just gained an additional hour of productive time each week! I turned off the TV show “Bull” on CBS. And, although I hadn’t missed an episode up to this point,  I won’t be turning it back on.

In the first 15 minutes of the show, entitled “The Sovereigns,” both a federal judge and a state judge (who’s actually the defendant in this week’s case) committed the unforgiveable faux pas of pronouncing the term “PERemptory challenge” as “PREemptory challenge.”

It’s bad enough that some tin-eared ignoramus may have written it that way in the script, but for NOT ONE person in the cast or among the many producers, directors and consultants to correct such egregious buffoonery before it could make its way onto tape is utterly inexcusable. If that’s not contempt of court I don’t know what is.

It’s just a laughably inept error to anyone who’s ever been professionally involved in jury trials. Case closed. It’s like a neurosurgeon calling the cerebrum the cherubim.

What’s next? Judge Pigmeat Markham presiding?
