Well since Sleuth killed Rockford and left me with only one other show, Magnum PI, to watch, I decided to put up a list of shows that I would like to see on the network.

Hawaii Five 0
Streets of San Francisco - the best of the Quinn Martin Shows
Quincy - This was CSI before CSI
Vegas - one of the better Aaron Spelling shows

I think the 70's was the golden age for Detective shows. What shows do you guys think they should bring back.

Hill Street Blues

Hart to Hart .....
Mysterious
I hate waking up in the morning, and so my treat is to watch a show that I have DVR'd with my morning coffee. Currently, there seems to be nothing on that I care to watch. I typed in the name of several
shows and found nothing worth recording. A great show to have on Sleuth would be "Hunter". That would be a great show to wake up to in the morning. Please put "Hunter" back on the air!
Fifi
I Spy

The Outsider

Enough with Profiler & Homocide!!!!! Lets get some real shows and better programming. Why do you show the same episode three times in a 24 hour period? How about expanding your list of shows, you could then fill a complete day a maintain and grow a large following. Why not look at shows like;
Spenser for Hire
Vegas
Hawk
Mannix
Cannon
Barnaby Jones
and the list could go on..... even Starsky & Hutch re-runs would be a great upgrade from the non-stop Profiler & Homocide

NBC should have a huge library to offer us but they are sticking with the same stuff. It's time to increase the options, take these out of the vault and re-air them:

Police Story
biggrin.gif
Crime Story tongue.gif
Adam-12 biggrin.gif
Dragnet
(air the entire run not just the best of dry.gif )
Police Woman tongue.gif
Columbo (air the entire run not just the best of dry.gif )
McCloud
CHiPs
(my nephew saw it on DVD and loves it)
McMillian and Wife
Banacek
Quincy, M.E.
The Blue Knight (CBS)
The Streets of San Francisco (ABC)

If these shows were on nightly I know my TV would be locked on Sleuth, and my DVR would be full. People I talk to also wish to see these shows. Police Story is mentioned time and again as one of the best shows not currently available on DVD that people want.

i was watching "the brink's job" this afternoon and i noticed something unheard of these days at the end.sleuth actually ran the full length of the credits with out running them over with an advertisement or a preview and without speeding them up.i've only seen the brinks job once (about 6 months ago on amc in fact) since i was about 12 and to see it with the full credits was just the icing on the cake.to a real movie fan like myself that really means alot.some movies are just better if you let the credits role.

I would try and obtain the rights to a British Crime Drama called 'Midsomer Murders"

About Midsomer
Midsomer Murders is a popular British television series about murders that take place in the fictional English county of Midsomer. Based on a series of crime novels by the author Caroline Graham, the detective drama focuses on the main character of Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby, played by actor John Nettles (of Bergerac fame).

First transmitted in the United Kingdom in March 1997, filming is currently underway on the eleventh series of the programme, which will bring the total number of episodes to fifty-nine. Viewing figures for the series are very healthy, and the feature-length drama attracts a number of well-known actors from the stage and screen in guest-starring roles. The majority of the early episodes were written by the writer Anthony Horowitz, who, together with the original producers Betty Willingale and Brian True-May, also created the series; and current writers include Peter J. Hammond, David Hoskins, Douglas Watkinson and Andrew Payne.

Filming takes place on location in the English counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey; and, owing to its success, the series has been sold to a number of countries and territories across the world, including Australia, Belgium, Botswana, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Latin America, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Romania, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and the United States.


Midsomer Murders Style
The programme possesses a unique style. It is almost entirely set within the closed, backwards-looking fictional English county of Midsomer. Midsomer is a world whose inhabitants are a collection of wealthy, amoral and snobbish eccentrics often obsessed with the fairly small lives they lead in these isolated communities. This provides for an enormous amount of friction between them which is observed with a self-mocking, sardonic humour.

The show often highlights the facade put up by people. To the eye Midsomer is a picturesque, peaceful and prosperous county but in fact behind the well-trimmed hedgerows and cricket on the village green is a society brimming with all kinds of vices. Barnaby by contrast offers a stable homelife and an exceptional morality.

Each story is built up carefully, with underpinning currents and unsolved mysteries adding to the bemusement of the detectives. There are usually a number of false leads, such as those who have committed petty crimes, or harbour some dark secret that they attempt to conceal from the world. Despite the sinister, atmospheric edge that runs through the show, it maintains a constant humour.

One feature of the programme is the extremely large number of deaths, especially considering that Midsomer is a small, rural county. Because of the slightly bizarre nature of the place, this does not seem entirely improbable. The show at times even plays on this lack of realism, with characters within it often commenting on the astoundingly high numbers of deaths.

Add anything, the scheduling on this channel blows. If Keed Eddie is on one more time I'm going to throw the TV out the window. But I'd add:

The Fall Guy
Riptide
Hunter
Hart to Hart
Mike Hammer
Rockford
Get Smart
Fantasy Island
Hill Street Blues
Murder She Wrote
Remington Steele
Moonlighting

Anything, But please mix up the shows in Prime Time so there is something to watch, because TV sucks anymore. The only reality show I can stand is deadliest catch. Magnum and Simon & Simon are on while I'm at work. So, I'm forced to wait until 11 to see Murder She Wrote on the Hallmark Channel. I upgraded my Dishnetwork package to get this channel, and so far I'm taking a shafting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
