Lots of good BBC mysteries on PBS. <BR/><BR/>A & E did a wonderful job with Nero Wolf, but they seem to be currently out of the classy mysteries business. I loved it when there was N Wolf on A & E and Poirot, I'm not sure what network that was on. Both were really class acts, which isn't at all usual for American mysteries these days.Maya's Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12183715043200608144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-31001693103418534872008-01-01T16:24:00.000-05:002008-01-01T16:24:00.000-05:00I love Midsomer Murders as well, and this will mak...I love Midsomer Murders as well, and this will make you jealous, I'm actually in England, and there's a new 2 hour episode on tonight. I'm recording it. I really enjoyed reading your blog entry and like watching the same programs you do. However, I also enjoy a lot of American programs. You guys have some really good shows too.<BR/>Now I'm going to nip over to the Snowdrops blog and see what that's about!dabrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689887581549281393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-39289878763781791992007-12-31T08:29:00.000-05:002007-12-31T08:29:00.000-05:00Taking notes on a TV show!!!!!

Bravo might come close. Agatha Christie's Poirot, Miss Marple...Doyle's Sherlock Holmes..fantastic shows. Midsomer Murders..love it! Absolutely Fabulous...geez, what a hoot That is....TV? Only British stuff when I can get it. OR, I buy it on DVD. I,Claudius...saw it once in the '70's. Never saw it again, so when it came out on dvd, I bought it. Whew!!!
