"I Love how Vanpelt sometimes wears her badge as a necklace in the beginning of the season :D"

"No it doesn't sound weird. remember these are state employees & not the highest paid-I've noticed that now in many shows that the characters seldom have wardrobe/costume changes. Look at Law & Order-special victims' unit-even Patricia Arquette in "The medium" wears the same outfit day after day-but they do put her in pajamas at night-the female characters in NCIS usually wear the same outfit every day and NCIS & the Medium gives more of a sense of time/days passing by until the case is solved. Personally, I'd rather have the money go into quality writing, acting, directing & film editing than clothes. There's been a few hoo-haas when a director or film editor ruined a movie or they argued over who ruined it. "
