Buffy ,'Sleeper'
Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

Nutty - have you read the original Homicide book? There's fantastic sequence where Simon explains that there are no circumstances whatsoever where waiving your right of silence isn't a dumb-ass move.
Yesssss. Also the sequence where they discuss how homicide detectives get confessions.

My favourite moment in the book is the two detetctives in one of their personal cars, having an intense discussion about something, totally offduty, and they see some kid scoping them, ciricling, getting ready to come over and pull something. One of the cops goes oh for #$$$??# sake, gets out of the car, stalks over to the stunned kid, flips his badge and says "We're COPS. Go rob someone else."
That's the documentary episode, which has scenes of the various detectives talking about Miranda warnings. In the Box.
Loved that. With Whistler, too.
Yeah, wish I could remember exactly, but I do know that everyone said Get. A. Lawyer.
Damn, I wish I'd seen that show.
A year or two ago, Court TV was rerunning Homicide. I wonder if it's ever come on out DVD. I would buy those DVDs. Might be a good way to get over Buffy going away.
Cindy, it's been mentioned several times on the board that Homicide is scheduled for DVDs! You must not have been in those topics those days....
Or I skipped. Or I skimmed. Or I'm incredibly forgetful. Cool, Theo. Thanks. I loved that show. The cancellation of it bred in me an irrational hatred of NBC.
cereal...
Any of our British Buffistas live in or near Sussex?
Of course, I'l still waiting to see "The Bill" and it comes highly recced.
Well, I love The Bill but it's not in the same league as Cracker or Homicide. It used to be a very straightforward, utilitarian police procedural--closest US equivalent perhaps Law and Order?--but lately it's been getting more and more melodramatic (and hence more enjoyable)--closest US equivalent perhaps Melrose Place?
So it used to be a worthy but rather boring watch; these days (to the horror of many of its old fans) it's become over-the-top camp fun.
