It's funny that they cancelled it to go younger, as the network it was on is still known as skewing older. (I think that's the network it was on.)

I remember george..I just saw this episode earlier this year and I saw Politically Incorrect guy, Bill Maher. Unforgotten is excellent and hope you find it and like it. Quincy is fun even when Jack Klugman gets excitable. Andy Griffith could be a cantankerous person and would rub people the wrong way. I have to try and find Miss Fisher. I know it has been on but never watched it.

You are not kidding with some long intros. I think the one that beats them all is Quantum Leap. I am re-watching these episodes and the into is very, very long. We are spoiled with no intro now. They need to find a happy medium. <br /><br />So you would run away, for sure from poor Angela since the plague of death seems to follow her :) I am so glad you watched Unforgotten and wasn't the 3rd season a chiller at the end. Great performances. Og I hope season 4 comes on for you, maybe on PBS where we watch it. It is quite good but very sad. <br />Monk is such a fun show, I love Tony Shalhoub (I hope I got his name right). I never watched Body of Proof or Psych. I have to check them out.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-87470460406968099852021-11-25T13:14:27.075-05:002021-11-25T13:14:27.075-05:00Oh!

I remember watching some of these mysteries when they aired with the exception of the British TV series. One of my all-time favorites was Columbo. Peter Falk was fabulous!

When you step back and look at it dispassionately that's how recovery works but it gets frustrating sometimes and we do to much and were back in the same boat we started in. Keep up the little gains. <br /><br />Before I start on your picks I have to say I'm very excited to read you other two Girl Week posts but being Thanksgiving here in the States I've been run off my feet and am stealing a few minutes to read this Thursday Three post. I don't want to rush through the others so I'll be back to read and comment on them after the festivities are over and done with! <br /><br />Now to the matter at hand. Love the way you went with this and we have a match!<br /><br />I wasn't a regular Quincy watcher but saw enough to know the idea and I love Jack Klugman. I'll have to binge watch it some time. <br /><br />Matlock didn't really do much for me but again I like Andy Griffith so I'll still watch an occasional episode if I run across it. <br /><br />I'm unfamiliar with the last but it sounds intriguing and I'm also on the hunt for a good mystery series. I'll have to investigate.<br /><br />We match on Murder, She Wrote!! LOVE that show. Angela drives it with an effortless flair. She understood who Jessica Fletcher was and never let the show deviate from her vision of what it should be. A great chance to see stars of yesteryear and those on their way up. I remember how surprised I was when I watched a rerun and there was baby George Clooney!!<br /><br />My three this week are all Girl Week inspired:<br /><br />Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries (2012-2015)-Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis) is a modern young woman of means who sets herself up as a private investigator for cases that catch her fancy in 1920’s Melbourne, Australia. With her faithful companion Dot (Ashleigh Cummings) by her side and cloaked in one drop dead outfit after another Miss Fisher manages to suss out the villain time and again, sometimes with the help of Detective Jack Robinson (with whom she shares an unrequited flirtation as does his deputy Hugh with the fair Dot) and sometimes by butting heads with him. Fantastic series loaded with wit and style and the always assured heroine taking charge in a time when women were far less able to. <br /><br />Mrs. Bradley Mysteries (1998)-Famed, somewhat notorious criminologist and author Mrs. Adela Bradley (the late, great Diana Rigg) with her loyal chauffeur George (Neil Dudgeon) at the helm of her Rolls Royce tosses off bon mots to the camera as they find intrigue and murder wherever they journey in 1920’s England. Like Miss Fisher Mrs. Bradley is a fashion plate albeit sporting a more mature but no less stylish look. <br /><br />Murder, She Wrote (1984-1996)-Retired schoolteacher Mrs. Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) writes a mystery novel as a form of therapy after the recent death of her husband Frank. Unbeknownst to her her nephew Grady (Michael Horton) submits it to a publisher. It becomes a runaway bestseller and suddenly she is one of the most acclaimed authors in the country traveling worldwide week after week but always returning to her cozy Maine hometown of Cabot Cove. There’s just one small thing, wherever she goes murder happens!! And that cozy town has more deaths by foul play per capita than New York City! But fret not Jessica with a mixture of observation, common sense, intelligence and intuition is on the case to save the day! joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-4405931397754595442021-11-25T07:14:35.292-05:002021-11-25T07:14:35.292-05:00Hi Birgit...hope you are doing well and not overdo...Hi Birgit...hope you are doing well and not overdoing it again...unforgotten is just brilliant....I have not been able tocomment on your blogs this week as blogger has been playing up again...take care xxxdutchesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00752622656801432118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-82205490903154806792021-11-25T07:07:01.724-05:002021-11-25T07:07:01.724-05:00Hi, Birgit!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a positive (negative) report from the Doctor when you see him tomorrow.<br /><br />In your salute to TV mysteries, you featured two of my favorites and two shows I didn't watch regularly. Mrs. Shady has a thing for medical examiner shows. She and I watch Rizzoli & Isles with Sasha Alexander and Body of Proof, the series starring Dana Delany. Mrs. S and I both get a kick out of Klugman as Quincy. In these Quincy and Matlock clips, we can see how long the opening title sequences of TV series used to be compared to today. Mrs S also watches St. Elsewhere, and I swear there should be an intermission in the middle of that long, drawn-out show opener to give viewers a chance to run to the potty. I also love (there's that word again) the opening montage of Quincy in which we catch glimpses of the famous M.E. seemingly examining a dead body, but the kicker at the end when the camera zooms out reveals that it is the body of a very much alive, bikini clad woman, 1/100th Quincy's age, with whom he is having drinks on a yacht. (I'm going to look into that line of work!)<br /><br />Angela Lansbury's Jessica Fletcher character rubs me the wrong way (I get enough of that at home) and therefore I did not watch very many episodes of Murder She Wrote, nor did I watch Andy of Mayberry showing up as a country lawyer in Matlock. <br /><br />The biggie here is the series you recommended to me and Mrs. S and I watched and love (there's that word again) - Unforgotten. Nicola Walker is a wonderful British actress whom we came to know in her earlier series, Last Tango in Halifax. Nicola's pairing with Sanjeev Bhaskar is inspired casting. Unfortunately, after watching the first three seasons of Unforgotten free with our Prime subscription, the pirates now want $$$ for us to watch season 4. Mrs. Shady says "no," so I guess we will miss it.<br /><br />For my picks, in addition to the above mentioned Rizzoli and Body of Proof, I suppose I'll fall back on Monk and Psych, two mysteries that double as comedies. <br /><br />Have a nice Thursday and a safe and happy weekend, dear friend BB!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887100141814372022noreply@blogger.com
