    Shows You Loved at one time

    Disappointed by the Avengers on DVD which I really liked when I was younger. It got boring fast when I tried the DVDs. Also, loved the first season of Quantum Leap on DVD but found that the plot depth became very shallow thereafter and the raunchy level inappropriate if not disgusting. (OK...

    Remington Steele Season 4 & 5...

    If you want to try a very deep, superbly acted detective series, watch "A Touch of Frost". It ran for 13 years on BBC and features episodes nearly 2 hours long. The acting is simply off the charts. Another unrelated British series was The Sandbaggers. Best spy series ever to air on BBC...

    OMG! That's him! Zahcerley! (I always thought it was Zackerly) I remember that name vividly! I loved the guy! And, yes, I grew up in the NYC area. Thanks so much for the great memory! How

    Shows You Loved at one time

    There is a show that aired in the early 1960s and/or late 1950s. I THINK it was on Saturday nights. (It might have been Friday) The host was a guy dressed up much like a vampire from what I recall and he played classic old horror films. I loved the show and found the hosts comments entertaining...

    Will Cold Case ever make it to DVD?

    Harsh and judgmental comment. Also foolish. There are several great shows that I have purchased on DVD not because I did not 'have the brains to record it' but because I did not even KNOW about the show. Try to restrain yourself guy. How

    HTF REVIEW: LOST - Seaon Two - Unquestionably Recommended

    I finished Season 2 just in time for 3 to premiere. Main issues: 1-The audio lag at the beginning of each episode. (Oppo) 2-The ARE are few rather weak episodes in the middle of season 2, imo. Almost boring. (NONE in S1) 3-The are some happenings that to me, are inexplicably poor script...

    Homicide, Life on the Streets question

    I got a good buy on the Complete Seasons 1&2 set. I've just started watching Season 1 of this amazing show. Best cop show I've ever seen, by far. I'm wondering why is it that there are only 13 episodes for the first 2 seasons? Did the show air once every 2 months? Seems bizarre...

    HTF REVIEW: LOST - Seaon Two - Unquestionably Recommended

    I discovered LOST this Summer and rapdily went thru Season 1. I'm now in the midst of Season 2. The character development is amazing, far better than any show or movie I've ever seen. The acting, too, is solid. But, what really blows me away is the musical score. It is astonishingly good...

    My X-Files dilemma, Agent Scully

    Sure Janie. I’d be happy to do so. Firstly, yes, I am an M.D. I have one specialty and 2 sub-specialties. (This means I did residency training beyond medical school in these 3 areas.) Where modern medicine has made the greatest strides is in the treatment of infections and trauma. (Since...

    My X-Files dilemma, Agent Scully

    Hmmmm.....they deleted what you said. Can you PM or email it to me somehow? I'd like to read it. Thus far, I continue to find Scully's character annoying. Forgive me but she appears, at times, like a blind fool. I'd have preferred that she had been portrayed as just a bit more of a 'believer'...

    My X-Files dilemma, Agent Scully

    "If a benighted (without wisdom or morality) medieval world has proven a durable misconception, it may be because it confirms a cherished contemporary belief----that our species always moves forward to better and more enlightened ways of life. This belief is utter fantasy, but it dies hard. It...

    My X-Files dilemma, Agent Scully

    One CAN have fine 'drama' without perpetual 'conflict' between partners, imho. In fact, I prefer it that way. (It's bad enough that the higher-ups often doubt and disbelieve.) But, Scully's refusal to accept what is staring her in the face and is ever so obvious goes beyond conflict and drama...

    My X-Files dilemma, Agent Scully

    I'm new to the X-Files and working my way through Season 1. I'd heard so many good things about the show that I decided to give it a try. Right now, having just watched Lazarus, episode 3 on Disk 4, I wonder how much longer I can tolerate Scully's dogged reluctance to accept anything that does...

    A Touch of Frost-good show?

    Brief follow-up: OK. I've answered my own question. I rented and watched the first 3 episodes of year one. The series is based on the novels of R.D. Wingfield. Each episode is about 1 hour 45 minutes. The show came out in 1992 and aired for 13 years. The lead, Det. Frost is a quirky but...

    CSI: Why examine a crime scene with flashlights?

    Here is what I got from a search of the CSI Forum: "When they're going over the scene, they have to leave it exactly as it was left when the crime was committed (well, when the perp left). It allows them to better reconstruct the scene so they can figure out what happened. Plus, like...

    CSI: Why examine a crime scene with flashlights?

    I've yet to understand why the investigators always seem to examine a darkened room with flashlights rather than turn lights on. This occurs regularly in both CSI and CSI Miami. Anyone know why? Is there a good reason for this? How
