Some time ago someone mentioned "Dempsey and Makepeace", shown mostly
on independent stations, I believe. Does anyone watch it regularly?
What do you think of it?

Me, I love it - it is currently the only show that gets me upset when
I miss it. I'm not quite sure why this is, because the show is not
consistently good, sometimes even bad. Maybe it is the British flavour,
but when I think about it, D & M is not all that different from your
typical American cop show. It reminds me a little of the British TV
series "The Sweeny" (I think that was the name - there were also at
least two movies, "The Sweeny" and "Regan" if I remember correctly).
- now there was a great show! (Did it ever make it across the
Atlantic? - and no, I'm not British, not even by descent)
