Janis: What's on TV?
Arlo: "CSI: Miami."
Janis: "I like CSI: NY!"
Arlo: It took them 60 years, but they figured it out -- one cop show is all you need!
Great observation….But, I’d rather read books. (Google it.). Like Stuart Kaminsky, Ed McBain, Robert Crais, G. M. Ford and Elmore Leonard….And let’s through in Carl Hiaasen just for fun…..
My favorite cop show was “POLICE SQUAD!” All six glorious episodes.
“We’re sorry to bother you at such a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn’t dead then.”
Oh, just one more thing. Did you hear that Peter Falk died? Such a shame. But then you wouldn’t have heard, since you were out of town all week, right? That’s what I thought. Well, I won’t take up anymore of your time, and my wife’s waiting dinner for me. I’ll see myself out.
I used to watch cop shows all the time as a kid, but Law & Order was the last I’ve seen on my own. My sister watches the CSI & NCIS series, so I’ve seen a few episodes of each, but not too many

Only one cop show?? Looks like Arlo has weak knees for the show with palm trees…

Ellery Queen is the best.

I don’t think I’ve watched a cop show on regular basis since “The Streets of San Francisco.”

I used to read “Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine”. My favorite author was Edward D Hoch.He died in January 2008.

I just read (in a fictional context, but I’ve heard it before) that the only cop show that cops themselves overwhelmingly like was “Barney Miller.”
