“People have given up Cable TV in droves and gone to the antenna. We’re watching the actual old shows.”

It’s truly the only TV I watch unless there’s an unsolved murder mystery to solve.

I’m a ‘newbie’ to shows like CSI (all of them!) and Blue Bloods and Law & Order.

Of course, I NEVER missed an episode of Magnum, P.I. Wherever we were in the world, we three Army Gals (still my BFFs 30+ years later!) would set aside Wednesday nights to watch Selleck, do our nails, gab on the phone and have a glass of wine. :)

Tom Selleck is amazing. Every major character he has developed is so alive...Blue Bloods, Magnum PI, Jesse Stone. I can't get enough of any of them. I so wish there were more Jesse Stone movies.

I agree with you about "an unsolved murder mystery to solve". The shows are fine if they're about solving the crime, as Law and Order or Murder She Wrote (though one has to wonder if Jessica Fletcher was secretly a mass murderer with all the murders she encountered <^..^>) or Colombo were. Leverage is a recent Cable TV series that could've done a few more years, it's so good. And the first two years of WKRP!!! The turkey episode, the battling mascots etc...ohmygosh!
