I watched the original Hawaii 5-0, Columbo, Rockford Files and others, with much pleasure. If I were a mystery writer, I'm sure I'd be in front of the TV for ideas and entertainment. Thanks for this blog and the informative responses.

I also enjoy Criminal Minds, Law & Order SVU, Rookie Blue, and King. I always say I'm going to refuse to watch new shows because I watch and DVR way too much t.v., but I always cave in the end.

Another good one is Scot & Bailey, British detectives, working on extreme cases and if their interogation is correct, it is very skillful.<br />Prefer Elementary over BBC Sherlock, but watch both. Father Brown, new version, has started here on PBS but at the oddest time.<br />New Tricks is always good, IF you can get a new one. Always repeating. <br />Murdoch Mysteries are repeating as the Artful Detective on Ovation Channel, saw them all, but worth rewatching.<br />Dislike Mentalist and Hawaii 5 O because they are too reckless.

It's a great update and I think Holmes and Watson have a good chemistry (Watson certainly isn't a pushover).<br /><br />Perhaps my favorite, though, was "Lewis," which unfortunately ended after it's 7th season. Another great chemistry between characters (Lewis and Hathaway) - and I think Hathaway (Laurence Fox) was pretty easy on the eyes.
