What a gap preceding, eh?

Nowadays it seems I don't have the time to keep up with everything. Since last posting, I've moved with my household (or most of it) across town , and the process isn't yet over. Still, now that I find myself signed in (for other reasons), I've recalled one item I'd been meaning to set down here. It's those TV forensics dramas--the original & its spinoffs. I'm afraid they've all jumped the shark. Maybe this is what happens to even good shows over time. A case in point is the famous Joisy Mobstas program on cable, which my brother praised and faithfully recorded in recent years. Then, amazingly, he decried the last season or two as "soap opera" and abandoned the show. Soap opera: that's likely what afflicts the Crime Scene Investigators, and perhaps it'll put them out of business.
