This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
You couldn't pay me to watch Harper's Island (I scare easily) but I'd think it is a procedural, since the point is to figure out, eventually, who dun it. At least that's what it looks like from the ads on teevee.
to give an idea as to which 3-5 shows are likely to be dominant in that thread at that time
so, Bones, House...
Bones, House, All the CSIs, Criminal Intent (is that a L&O?), all the L&Os, Medium, Life, um....
Just saw the most recent Bones and YAY Stephen Fry. And so much else - Sweets in death metal dress for instance. My one beef - if Gordon was in a glam band, would there have even been spandex? I thought that was an 80s invention, and no matter what music you were making, there really was no "Glam" in the 80s.
There's no one on Harper's Island trying to figure it out, really--I don't think it fits the traditional procedural format.
there really was no "Glam" in the 80s.
Gary Glitter wasn't Glam?
Dude. Ziggy Stardust.
ETA: Also,
no matter what music you were making, there really was no "Glam" in the 80s.
If we're focusing solely on the 80s, let us look at Freddie Mercury...
Dude. Ziggy Stardust.
Right. But was that spandex? I thought it was lycra back in the day.
ETA I went to Wikipedia, and Lycra IS spandex. Invented in 1959. So, yeah, that was the stuff back in the day. Learn something new every day.
Lycra is simply a brand name of spandex.
Bones, House, All the CSIs, Criminal Intent (is that a L&O?), all the L&Os, Medium, Life, um....
Isn't Life said to be just about cancelled?
Isn't Life said to be just about cancelled?
Hush, you.
Do TV producers count on fans getting riled up these days? I'm sick about The Sarah Connor Chronicles and maybe Life maybe getting canceled, and I've written letters about them, but gee. Can't any of them tell quality when they see it? Those are good shows, executives!!
Okay, good grief, how long did that take? Here are all the procedural shows that have been discussed, not in any particular order:
Bones House Criminal Minds Medium Numb3rs The Mentalist Castle CSI Without a Trace Cold Case The Closer Monk Journeyman Castle Kville NCIS Law and Orders Criminal Intent Prison Break The Unit The Equalizer Burn Notice Saving Grace The Cleaner Canterbury's Law Leverage Lie to Me Flashpoint Homicide: LotS Life on Mars Eleventh Hour Burn Notice PBS Masterpicece Theater/Mystery Ghost Whisperer and a discussion of classic procedurals roughly between posts #1061 and 1124.
And one last post (yeah, still don't have a home computer): Anyone else excited to see that Amber HERE will be on House next week. Fun! Wonder what, if anything, he'll say to WilsonHERE
