I don't either, but I knew it would be the best answer.

I think my judgement may have been affected by the fact that I just finished watching Ashes to Ashes Series 3 just a couple of weeks ago.

there's one on BBC right now and there's was one in the 50's, IIRC.

It's on PBS? No wonder I didn't know it.

And created by Steven Moffat? Hmmm. He created Coupling - one of my favorite comedies of all time.

I challenge as well. The show took place in NY in the 70's.


Edit: didn't realize there was a UK version.

Poirot is definitely incorrect.

Whichever sheepmaster decided to penalize wrong sheep answers was a genius.

Re: The Return of TV Sheep: Cop Shows!

Why is CSI: New York wrong for question #12? I'm pretty sure all of the CSI shows deal with homicides most of the time. Most of the characters on CSI NY are detectives too.
From wiki: "The show follows the investigations of a team of New York City Police Department forensic scientists as they unveil the circumstances behind mysterious and unusual deaths as well as other crimes."

I would not say that the Crime Scene Investigation department is on the homicide beat.

Re: The Return of TV Sheep: Cop Shows!

Since I'm a public defender, I can chime in with something at least slightly relevant. Members of the crime scene unit of my local PD are just as likely to show up for a robbery or B&E as for a murder. You never see them on a rape, though. I find that interesting. You may not.

ETA: I'm glad reading the TiVo descriptions for The Glades episodes I'm saving (not during the time I was coming up with answers -- before then) led to points. I'm also stunned we got no Andy Griffith or Maybury RFD answers but tons of folks said Car 54 Where are You? I figured the RFD was going to be the big unexpected point scorer, but I was wrong. Wrong

I don't know. I couldn't think of more than 2 answers to the next question and who knows what everyone will do on the last one. Sheep questions have screwed me in the past, why not now?

Yeah, I really struggled with the next question, and went with one of the only 2 I could think of.

Re: The Return of TV Sheep: Cop Shows!

By the way, I will challenge both versions of
Spoiler:
Life on Mars
if anybody happened to answer it for the next question.

I second the preemptive challenge.

I just realized I fucked myself on 15. A certain show completely slipped my mind.

Re: The Return of TV Sheep: Cop Shows!

I can certify that one of them was answered. Wanna go ahead and explain the challenge?
