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?

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.

A lot of those shows are cancelled now, Java.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So, I don't think Harper's Island is a procedural. It is a weekly horror show (and I mean that literally - the show is also kind of bad, but very entertaining). There has yet to be an investigation, though there is an island sheriff who will likely start finding the bodies and may start working to find the killer.
