Don't you think that the great detectives like Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chan, and the Thin Man, should have a home on the Sleuth Channel, too. These great detectives are the grandfathers of all of todays detectives. lets not forget them.

Biography Channel was carrying Midsomer Murders from England, and chose to eliminate it from their lineup. As a result, and you can look at the comments, they are losing a lot of viewers. You would gain a lot of viewers if you were able to carry the "Midsomer Murders" series. Also, we love the Sherlock Holmes series; Poirot series; Miss Marple series; Inspector Morse series. In general, any mysteries from England are well worth the watch. If you can, please carry these series. Thank you for listening.

oh yeah, all those films are awesome. I also really dig Columbo, Monk, Nero Wolfe, and the Detective Conan animes from Japan.

The four Miss Marple films shot in the 60's, with Dame Rutherford, are also a hoot. (Murder She Said, Murder at the Gallop, Murder Most Foul and Murder Ahoy). My favorite Christie movie though is And Then There Were None, directed by Rene Clair (you want to avoid the crappy remake).

I'm in postproduction on my first murder mystery, hope to see it up on the Sleuth channel some day!

ITA Charlie, which is why I just joined this umm board.

'Sleuth' is such an excellent name but... dang it, I thought there would be some great old detective shows & movies like Humphrey Bogart 'The Maltese Falcon'.

This is my first post here, I didn't see a welcome/introduce yourself thread so guess I'll look again.

Rockstone, are those links to DVD sets you're selling?

Is this like an eBay also? I don't quite understand why those links are in your post :confused:
