Cold Case TV show and Interracial Dating

I’m a fan of CBS’s television show Cold Case and if you have been watching it recently as I have you would have noticed the chemistry developing between two of their main characters. The main characters are Scotty Valens played by Danny Pino and Kat Miller played by Tracie Thoms.

As Detective Pino and Miller have been working cases together and getting closer you notice that when they are together it’s more than just a friendship. It’s more than just being partners. The looks and verbiage between the two just makes you see them as a couple.

In Kat’s search to find a significant other she opens up to her partner Scotty. In those scenes alone you feel the sexual tension.

But then suddenly it was nipped in the bud. They have brought on a new character that is obviously intended for Scotty. And the chemistry between Scotty and this character is non existent. And I think maybe two episodes in they are already beginning to date.

Why CBS? Why Cold Case writers? Is it because two officers in the same department can’t be in a romantic relationship? Or is it because it’s interracial dating?

CBS has done this once before on one of my favorite shows “Judging Amy.” Viewers had actually written to the show stating that they would no longer watch the show if the main character would be involved in an interracial relationship.

If you watched Judging Amy then you may recall that Judge Amy and her assistant Bruce had tremendous chemistry. And no other character that they brought in could surpass theirs even when they brought in actor Adrian Pasdar.

So CBS surprise me. I’m anxiously waiting to see what you will do on Cold Case.
