I didn't dawn (or is it don?) on me that some (online friends) may not be privy to international tv (HDTV 720p in my case).
I'd like to discuss some of my misc. international HDTV shows. One that I began watching about a year ago, is a British drama that follows in the footsteps of its predecessors. Law & Order: UK starring:
• Bradley Walsh (2) Detective Sergeant Ronnie Brooks
• Jamie Bamber Detective Sergeant Matt Devlin (AKA Lee Adama of Battlestar Galactica)
• Harriet Walter Detective Inspector Natalie Chandler
• Ben Daniels Senior Crown Prosecutor James Steel
• Freema Agyeman Crown Prosecutor Alesha Phillips
• Bill Paterson (1) played Crown Prosecution Service Director George Castle
Here is a summary from an online TV rating fave of many, TVRage:
"Law & Order" has been a staple in American homes for 18 years, and now London is being hit with the crime drama from Dick Wolf. "Law & Order:UK" will feature all new episodes with an all new cast exclusively for United Kingdom viewers.

Although this season has ended, I am still debating whether I liked the series or not. It has all of the elements of the Law & Order's that we're familiar with as well as a justice system that is vaguely familiar to me. I'm sure EVERYBODY had to take a class in Western Civilizations or some kind of Legal/Justice system in their college years. Right?
However, you're gonna find this funny, I never could get used to those funny looking wigs. Even more, I assumed that there would be a certain pomp and circumstance revolving the entire UK judicial system. Instead, I was awakened to the reality of how humble (economically) any public defense system is anywhere in modern times. Of course not including 3rd world countries. They're lucky if they have a legal system, much less a fair one. Back to the wigs. LOL. I couldn't get over the wigs that looked like they cost maybe $10 US dollars.
It's intriguing to watch something familiar (Law and Order-esque) with an international twist. I've decided I'm going to follow the series the following season. Season 02 begins sometime in early 2010. I'm thinking closer to February since that was its original premiere date.
For those reading this, I'll try and have some links to online media content delivery services. To my usual readers (I think it's me, my niece, my mom when she's not at church, and my doggie Jack), I'm sure I don't have to define the terms: "Media content delivery systems". So stay tuned. I'll have some links here soon, but will not be up here for very long.
You can also watch these online at iTV.com but only if you live in the UK.
Looking forward until then (prolly tomorrow 10/09/2009), I'm heading to bed and finish catching up on my HDTV shows whose seasons are about to begin.
