14. I've watched all 14 seasons of Murdoch Mysteries a few times now. It is a crime

show but it takes place around 1900 in Toronto. The characters are nice and often funny. They also include all sorts of famous persons from that era into their episodes. Like Mark Twain, Houdini, Elizabeth Arden, Tesla, A. Graham Bell and others. Of course creative liberty is taken but they tend to get the personalities right. Like Tesla is a nice guy and Henry Ford is a real jerk.

One the other hand I am watching Your Honor now on Showtime and I am wondering if I should quit because it is so upsetting. If I knew it had a happy ending I would feel better but I don't know what is going to happen. So much cruelty.

I may check out Columbo again too. I have tried Midsomer Murders and that is good but their shows are 2 hours long and I don't have the patience for that.
