It reminds me of 'The Flashing blade' which was a French or Spanish costume drama that was overdubbed, on Saturday morning kids TV in the UK (Banana Splits?), when I was a teenager.......yes it was that old

Funny you ask that. Back in the UK, I enjoyed watching ER, CSI (the original) and Law and Order.

Three and half years later, I don't watch ER at all, I very rarely watch CSI and watch Law and Order (and its offshoots), once in a while.

I too have started watching more of king of the hill, and can't get enough of family guy, its just so random and, well, great! also started watching the CSI's, house, the shield, lost and criminal minds. but i am still waiting for my EAD and live miles from anywhere, and there is only soooo much gardening that can be done! sad but true! but ead should be through soon, so i can get driving and start working, just start having some sort of life really!

Judge Judy without a doubt.

'Beauty fades, but stupid is forever'. Loved her.

PT Barnum said it. There's a sucker born every minute. And they all keep these flakes and nuts rolling in luxury.
