Still in denial that US Marshals are called Federal Marshals?

Federal marshals seized Bernard L. Madoff’s 55-foot luxury yacht and a
24-foot speedboat in Florida on Wednesday as part of the government’s
effort to recover assets to pay back investors in Mr. Madoff’s
enormous Ponzi scheme.

Good to see it mentioned here.

It's one of the best of a whole host of good, smart, well-crafted, and
morally-compassed new shows which have appeared across TV's "vast wasteland"
in recent years.

(AUKtards and younger folk will have to look up the reference, add "minow"
as a search term.)

Other recent greats: HOUSE, MD, and LIE TO ME.

If you lean more toward car chases and/or action-adventure, but you'd like
it to be adult and smart, BURN NOTICE is the ticket.

IN PLAIN SIGHT joins these other shows as superior TV.

Isn't Marshal Marshal a great name for the male lead.

I agree. Most of what is on network television is garbage. I'm sick
and tired of " Dancing with...", American Idol, and reality shows.
March Madness has me tuning in CBS this month but I await the return
of among others The Closer, and as you mention below Burn Notice.

House is hit or miss with me. Sometimes I find the story too
implausible even for Dr.Gregory House & Co.

Burn Notice is one of my favs although I'm concerned that Fiona looks
like an anorexic.

>IN PLAIN SIGHT joins these other shows as superior TV.

Agreed, and we need more shows like it.
