You might want to see if you can find Law & Order: UK. It's updated versions of Original Recipe episodes, transplanted to the U.K. They just started running on BBCA, and I find them as enjoyable as the average L&O.
David ________________________________ From: Kevin M. <[email protected]> I confess -- as mentioned before -- the iTunes Store moves slowly in Kazakhstan, and the power was out one day this week, and I only have internet at work, so I still have a few minutes of the pilot episode remaining to be downloaded. But I have two points to raise about what I have seen so far. First, the bald guy with the porn star mustache only seems to have (or at least only seems to use) a single facial expression. In serious scenes he is smirking. In the lighter moments he is smirking. His facial expression never changes, and it only rarely seems to match the mood of the moment. Second, one reference to pop culture is fine, but multiple references in the span of a few minutes isn't good. Facebook, TMZ, Perez Hilton, and others all got a mention in the pilot episode. Dick Wolf's franchises are designed to be played and replayed over and over again. While Facebook may have some staying power, I'm not so sure about the others, which means this episode has a specific shelf life/expiration date. Also, that much pop culture tells me the show is either written by teenagers, or written by old farts like me who are desperate to relate to the younger crowd. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- TV or Not TV ....
