Here's another British mystery "dramedy" (drama & light comedy) series that might have been "undiscovered" by many people outside of the United Kingdom. Pie in the Sky stars Richard Griffiths as Henry Crabbe, the main character of the series.

The Muppet Christmas Carol

I cannot believe that I have never written an entry about this!!! It is by far one of our VERY favorite Christmas movies, and if you haven't gotten a chance to see it, then watch for it! I am hoping that at least one network of the 100s of networks which now exist airs it this holiday season. (And, good news… Yesterday I saw it in my local Blockbuster store!)

Castle, Stephen J. Cannell and Michael Connelly, but Where's James Patterson?

OK… You had to have guessed that I would be posting an entry about the new television season. No doubt, I will be posting several entries as the weeks go by…

YIKES!!! Isn't Agatha Christie COZY?!?!?

Good grief! Boy did I steer you all wrong… I posted two entries about the new PBS Agatha Christie season… along with the Ellen Byerrum shows, and YIKES!!! (The "YIKES!!!" should tell you enough if you don't want to go on reading… But, I am so "hot-under-the-collar" right now, that I HAVE to go on writing…)

A Truly Terrific TNT Channel Show: The Closer …

I have recently mentioned (several times!) that my daughter is home for the summer. The two of us watch a television show together every morning… a "chick flick" type of show that we have not introduced to either my husband or son. Our favorite show is TNT's… The Closer.

New Cozy Mystery Shows Coming Soon!

Danna - cozy mystery list — Tue, 26 May 2009 11:09:26 +0000

Good news, Cozy Mystery lovers! A site reader (Thank you, Alfred!) just told me about some upcoming shows on PBS… So>>> mark your calendars!

PBS is calling this the "Six by Agatha" event. It all kicks off with two new Hercule Poirot episodes (Hercule Poirot Series X) at the end of June. Of course, we wouldn't want them with any other actor than David Suchet… And, lucky for us, he will be starring in them. Both of these Agatha Christie episodes are ninety minutes long:

Sir David Attenborough: Great Nature Shows

Danna - cozy mystery list — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 13:04:25 +0000

If you have yet to see any of Sir David Attenborough's nature collections, then you have missed some of the rarest glimpses into our world's environments. There is a very obvious reason that this Natural Sciences academic from Cambridge is world-renowned: He is one of the world's foremost experts in his field.

Castle: New Show on Monday Nights, ABC

Danna - cozy mystery list — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:07:26 +0000

I just watched a new show called "Castle" and enjoyed it so much that I took a look at my Replay machine to see if they will be re-airing the pilot. The good news is that they are, on Saturday at 9:00 PM (our local Texas time). So if you are at all interested, you can check it out!

Jesse Stone by Robert B. Parker (The Television Movie!)

Danna - cozy mystery list — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 11:28:46 +0000

Good news for all of you Robert B. Parker fans out there AND all of you mystery readers who crave mystery movies:

Jesse Stone's new two hour television movie Thin Ice will be on this Sunday night at 9:00 EST (which for me translates into 8:00) on CBS. I wanted to be sure and tell those of you who don't know about it, since we have had previous discussions about these special event movies. This will be the fifth in the Jesse Stone movie series: Stone Cold, Night Passage, Death in Paradise, & Sea Change are the previous four installments.
