Hey allSpaw - sounds like you live in Mayberry - one of the best cop shows if you ask me.
So what is the name of the actor who played Claire Kincaid?
& Kim - I watch the whole night - Ed, West Wing and L & O. - I'm out that night (great open-mike a few blocks from my home) but I tape them and stay up till 3 am to watch them. Good Stuff!
And I miss Morse too - but they ran out of stories and that's about it - I certainly wouldn't expect someone other than Dexter to write them. Did you see the retrospective on the series on PBS? It was neat to find out that Colin Dexter did a "Hitchcock" and appeared in every episode - I'm looking forward to seeing them all again to see if I can spot him. I don't have cable so it'll be awhile (assuming they're on cable).
