Those white boxes are hilarious. They just appear randomly, and serve no purpose. (I keep expecting the box to zoom into a close-up or something, but nope.) I also loved seeing how a majority of the vets and animal cops were sporting some crazy arm tattoos. Ah...San Francisco!

So I did a double-shot of Monday and Tuesday's episodes last night -- how can one show be Just So Good??? I really dig the 70s-style white boxes and split screens thing -- plus, props to Rain for correctly calling the Doggie Law and Order theme of the show. I had no idea we had an actual dog court in City Hall! Sad to see all those bad situations pet owners and pets get themselves into, though.

It wasn't unusually upsetting, but still hard to take. They did the usual thing of trying to balance out the pain by including a heartwarming story, but somehow it doesn't make up for the tragedies. And all of last night's stories took place on the outskirts of the City. So far, no crazy cat ladies have been exposed in my neighborhood.

this is the first time that I've had every single show in the SFist Watches column on my TiVo!! So was "Animal Cops SF" unusually upsetting or about the same level of upsetting that "Animal Precinct" is? I'm just trying to prepare myself for my TV tonight.
