I notice that the new t.v. cop show, “Raines” as well as the new gangster show, “The Black Donnellys” premiered a couple of weeks ago. Let’s see, we have 3 versions of “CSI” and about 6 imitators, 3 versions of “Law and Order”, 2 or three psychic detectives, 1 funny private eye, (Andy Richter) 3 or 4 shows just about lawyers, reality shows about cops, (Cops) stupid cops (Reno 911), shows about gangsters (The Sopranos, The Wire, The Black Donnellys). With the exception of Richter’s show, we can’t seem to get enough of crime. Or has Hollywood run out of ideas?
