Al, I've watched all of those except Inspector Frost. That was when I was much younger. Now i don't think I would watch them again. I am also a lot more choosy about the mysteries or suspense novels I read. I can no longer handle novels about rapists and other sex criminals, stalkers, child abusers, torturers, etc. (and their seem to be a lot of those books being written now). Years ago my mother expressed a distaste for entertainment that focused on similar subjects. Now I feel the same way, though I didn't then. This is not a criticism of Shakespeare, his plays, or the tastes and choices of others, merely a reflection of my feelings right now. Perhaps those feelings will change again in the future.

Getting back to the topic of this thread, I think it is wonderful that some people have pursued, and in some cases achieved, the goal of seeing all of Shakespeare's plays. There was a time when I had hoped to do that, too. When I have an opportunity to see one of his plays, I will consider it and its subject matter.
