Yeah, wish I could remember exactly, but I do know that everyone said Get. A. Lawyer.
It's all about the coat.

If I only had a brain...
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.

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.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

That's the bit that was recced to me, courtesy of Roz Kaveney, who adores it. She says it has the meanest nastiest villain out there, but until she's seen H:LOTS and Luther Mahoney? Nuh-uh.
Never been a L&O fan. Far too much on the "ripped from the headlines!" thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love procedurals. Kinda like melodrama too, but I adore procedurals. They never seem to last, though. Even L&O is self-infatuated.

See, but they weren't always quite as bad as all that. The best episodes are the old Matt Stone (Michael Moriarty) cases.
