Damn Decent Television Hour...

[kirby1024]

Why do all the good shows have to be on at 9:30 on a Monday?

Seven's got Crossing Jordan (which, yeah, is American cop show at it's best, but is still fun to watch)
Nine's got Cold Case (Fan boy...)
Ten's got Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (Which is fun, amusing and educational...)
SBS's got Oz (which is edgy, and in a good way).

I swear, if Cold Case hadn't nabbed me first, I'd so be screaming right now. And there's not enough VCRs in the house to record all of them!

Oh yeah, all that too - the whole redemption aspect, justice. I guess in my discussion, I was really referring to the show's aesthetic, which is undeniably gritty and a little melancholy.

Was 'Fly Away' the episode where the little girl was thrown from the window? That one had quite an impact on me.

The one about the abortionists and the gaybashing episode were both pretty masterful too, but my favorite was 'Boy In The Box' for sheer pathos and oddness (the whole irradiated foods subplot).
