.............and we're not being saturated by those pathetic, brainless 'reality' shows' of EVERY description?
Give me a Crime Drama anyday over them!
But, I do wish they'd stop having those 'dysfunctional' kids' in them! Why the current 'craze' for that? The worst is the girl who plays 'Erin Reagan's' daughter in 'Blue Bloods'. She can't act, her hairstyle is just plain ugly, her voice is 'untrained'. She 'contributes' nothing to the show or any scene she's in. I wish her 'TV father' would take her to 'Frisco with him! I just FF on my VHS tape of show, when she's featured.
Even 'Castle' has got his Mother & Daughter in it! Painful!
At least the UK 'whodunnits' don't have this annoying aspect! 'Barnaby' has his grown-up daughter, & she's a good actress!
Some series' are better produced than others', but that's 'normal'.
I think the very first 'Crime' show I saw was '77 Sunset Strip', & I've loved them ever since!
