I’m sick of it. I’m sick of all the women on TV being dressed inappropriately. I’m tired of the lawyers and CIA Directors going to work dressed like they were going to a cocktail party. I loved Covert Affairs and Fairly Legal, but the bosses on those shows were always dressed in ways that would make HR call them in for a chat.
And Bones? Seriously? Brennan is supposed to be all unaware of social conventions, but she shows up every day in stylish, perfectly accessorized outfits with her hair falling in effortless waves? I know a few Aspergerish scientist chicks and trust me when I tell you, they don’t know how to dress like that.
Even on Grey’s Anatomy! Nobody looks like that in scrubs. Nobody. Those have to be special cocktail scrubs.
I know I’m exaggerating. I’m pretty sure all those Law and Order assistant DAs dressed reasonably. There are probably more. Maybe I’m just feeling old and dowdy. My birthday is rolling around soon and I’m feeling my age these days.
So what do you think are the most egregious examples of characters being inappropriately dressed on TV or in the movies?

Cuddy on House. No one could be in charge of a hospital and expose that much cleavage without getting reprimanded.
I agree with Kristen. In fact, that's exactly what I was going to say but she beat me to it!
I forgot about Cuddy! She had all that hair whipping around, too.
Oh, Kristen's is a good one. No woman would dress like that and go to work.
I will think of others...
Dr. Soyran on Bones... I mean if I had that rocking figure maybe I would wear those dreses too. But man it looks like most time she can't move in them and she's supposed to be conducting autopsies.
Also what's her face on Castle. They made her grow out her hair, added extensions (probably because long hair women appeal more to audiencies) and it looks ridiculous.
What cop would run around all day chasing suspects with all that flowing hair?
She looks like one of Charlie's Angels.
And don't get me started on them... Sabrina the "smart" one was always in turtlnecks and all the Farahs were always in sexy mama tops.
And have you seen the heels on the detective in Castle? I love that show, but really? Who can chase bad guys in five inch heels? It's a worker's comp case waiting to happen!
I'm totally with you on Cuddy - I don't know how she sits down in those skirts... honestly.
