CBS’s ‘Medium’ Presents Sheriff Joe Arpaio-Like Character as Rapist-Murderer
Big Hollywood ^ | 10/19/10 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 10/19/2010 4:19:27 PM PDT by Nachum

On October 15, the Whodunnit/Psychic series “Medium,” which is set in Phoenix, Arizona, featured a character obviously based on tough-on-crime, real-life Sheriff Joe Arpaio. But instead of presenting him as a tough, but serious lawman, this TV show depicted its Arpaio-like character as a rapist of teen girls as well as a murderer. I guess CBS couldn’t possibly present its Sheriff Arpaio-styled character as a good man. Their Arpaio-like character had to be seen as a sicko, rapist, and murderer.

Back when I used to watch the boob-tube I thought Medium had some interesting episodes. They jumped the shark a long while ago.

Don’t watch. But somebody list the sponsors so we can write them.
The media loves to profile conservatives of all sorts as the bad guy. The real truth hurts and they can’t stand it.

Oh how I miss the good old days when the cop was the hero, he had a smokin hot female deputy and his toupee wasn’t so obvious.

Bring Back TJ Hooker!!!

Rapist-Murderer? They should've based it on a real-life person...

I started watching it, then the “pink” jumpsuits and chain gains showed up, and then I shut it off and complained to my fellow AZ Freepers.

Yep. “Medium” is also one of the most retarded shows that anyone could come up with. What with her jumping up in bed like she had been slapped with a wet rag and that wimp of a husband actually taking her seriously. Disfunctional x 10. About as bad as all the “reality” shows. Then sit there through 20 or so minutes every hour listening to commercials. No Thanks!!

I watch Medium faithfully - never made the connection you made; still don’t.

It’s time for HBO to pull out and blow off the dust of that sci-fi movie about the aliens coming to earth offering a cure for everything and answers to all of our problems for the simple payment of all our black people.

Naturally it’s Republicans in office and we think it’s a fair trade...

My wife loves that show, so I have to watch it. As soon as I saw the Sheriff I knew who he was supposed to be, and I knew they would slime him.

They completely lied about what Joe does. They are so vapid they can only make one kind of character. Too bad they don't have any real writers on that show. It has the potential of being entertaining.

I used to watch the show. It turned bad a while ago.

I’m watching House and Mentalist. I enjoy Mentalist almost as much as I enjoyed Columbo. Human Target is kinda fun. Near as I can tell, the rest are noise.

Phoenix and Pink Jumpsuits should have been your first clue.

Watch it again. This time in color.
