A Rose Is a Rose

So season 4 opens with an excellent episode , the murder mystery really is very good . However it is not all good news . Yes even after three complete seasons the producers have decided to stick with Rusty . The most awful character in TV history is still here , and unlikely as it seems he has actually got even more obnoxious , selfish , petulant and arrogant. The slight saving grace he once had - we as the audience assumed he was mentally retarded - has also been blown completely out of the water. Apparently he's not very very stupid , no he actually graduated from High School and is now in college not remedial classes as we suspected. Bizarrely he's now a fully fledged reporter despite showing no previous interest and he claims to be better than all the other reporters on the staff after one day . I have this terrible feeling of dread that the producers are going to make us endure Rusty for the entire run of this otherwise excellent show ,
