First was Fringe. Now Jason Meserve tweets (here and here that tonight's episode of Criminal Minds on CBS opened with a car allegedly stranded on a Rte. 128 with just one lane on each side and then had Boston Police responding to something on 128. He rates it a double fail.

128 - 95 = 2?

Doesn't 128 become 2 lanes once it starts departing from Interstate 95, around Cape Ann? Or am I high? If I am, good call!

Two lanes on either side

I asked Jason for his definition of "two lanes" and he replies they showed 128 as:

just a plain road with a yellow line down the middle and a stop sign in the background

But unlike Fringe, which purports to be set in Boston, the stories on Criminal Minds take place in different cities each week, making their errors slightly more excusable. At least the bus had a big T on the side and said "7 City Point" on the route sign.

Thats true, if your going to

Thats true, if your going to be set in a city for a while you should know the basic rules. If your just passing by its ok to make minor mistakes because your just based here for one episode.

Stupid stuff stuck in my head

Ah, like seeing the palm trees during a Washington DC chase scene in Hardcastle and McCormick when the judge was up for the Supreme Court.
