byAnton, what?  You've tired of CSI: SVU, CSI: MIU, CSI: ABC, CSI: XYZ, CSI........ ;)

What I find more pitiful is the kidnapping of UK shows to be done in the US - The Office or Fawlty Towers for instance.  How could anyone hope to match the calculated lunacy of John Cleese?

That's the thing about the new Doctor Who that I also find refreshing.  Not only is more 'modernized', but the scope of change is in several good directions without making it unrecognizable to ardent fans.  So far, my favorite scene was in the first Eccleston episode when he's starting up the TARDIS with the pump-action and what-not - hilarious, but just about right (super-mega technology, but the Doctor would have jury-rigged the poor thing, you know?)  The quirks are great (Ole' Bessie and frills or 'Jelly Babies, anyone?' and 'the scarf').

I need to get back to work and stop reminiscing.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
