I've seen all 13 episodes, but had not been exposed to the foreign versions. My overall verdict: it's okay. It's not a horrible way to spend a half hour, but it doesn't really grab me as much as I would like. My biggest problem with it is that it's edited within an inch of its life, and it

[TV orNotTV] Adam Wade, 87 - R.I.P.

As a singer, he had three top ten hits in 1961. As an actor, he had a long list of credits on TV and stage. And as a scientist, he worked as a lab assistant to Dr. Jonas Salk on the polio vaccine - an accomplishment that landed him a spot as the central character on a 1960 episode of "To Tell

I still watch L (original flavor) and L: Organized Crime. The current L cast is really good, and the energy they're bringing to their roles has really refreshed the franchise. Anthony Anderson's Detective Bernard was rather nondescript on the old series, but now he's playing the role with a

Xfinity is having a "free movie" week, which allowed me to check out Acorn TV and the first season of "Dalgliesh." I was familiar with P.D. James' character of Detective Chief Inspector Adam Dalgliesh from the Roy Marsden-starring adaptations that ran on PBS' "Mystery!" in the 80s and 90s. I
