Goddlefrood:

I agree about CSI: Miami, it's quite useless and any 
decent defence lawyer would have all, or just about 
all, those arrested acquitted. Really sloppy work 
from that lab and far too much of the lead.

Goddlefrood:

Odd you mention this, as I've just been lent it by a 
friend of mine.

*RAYOR*

Here in the depths of the South Pacific the effects of 
the writer's strike will take an awfully long time to 
take effect. There is only one, count them, one free-
to-air channel and only around another 10 available on 
satellite. Cable is something that connects phones to 
those of us in these tropical islands.

However, the pirates do a roaring trade in DVDs and I 
also purchase and get sent a number of shows to watch 
on original DVDs. My tastes tend to go for older shows 
such as:

Hawaii Five-O
The Munsters
Magnum PI
Columbo
Blackadder
Father Ted

etc. and BBC or Channel 4 made for TV films like Endurance, 
Longitude or Sword of Honour.

Maybe the BBC will benefit from the writer's strike, as will 
the TV and film industries of a good number of other countries. 
There's plenty of good, not North American, programs and films 
out there.

Who knows, perhaps the final Potter film / films (but why make 
it two except to cash in on a wealthgiving franchise?) might 
be an entirely British production, including the writing.

Goddlefrood, looking forward to more of The Munsters first 
season this evening.
