OK, everyone!!! Don’t forget that PBS will be airing Six by Agatha starting this weekend! Poirot starts out the fun:
June 21….. Cat among the Pigeons
June 28….. Mrs. McGinty’s Dead
followed by Miss Marple:
July 5….. A Pocket Full of Rye
July 12….. Murder is Easy
July 19….. They Do It with Mirrors
July 26….. Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?
On another note: Shirley just wrote to tell me about some Crimes of Fashion which will be taking place on the Lifetime Movie Network (LMN). (As in Ellen Byerrum‘s Crime of Fashion mysteries…)
Killer Hair (first book in the series)will debut on Sunday, June 21 and Hostile Makeover (third book in the series) will be debuting on Sunday, June 28.
So, dot down the above information for some Cozy Mystery viewing!
Thank you, Alfred and Shirley!

Thanks for the heads-up on the new PBS mysteries. I would like to mention that “Castle” will be running again on June 20 at 9:00pm on ABC. I watched that series on your recommendation and really liked it. Another recommendation is “The Last Detective” with Peter Davison. I think that series is only on DVD. Why doesn’t BBC America get with it and show some of these? Love your “TV” suggestions, as well as, the book suggestions.

Hi Laura,
I totally agree with you about BBC America… If you’re not into reality shows that take place in the kitchen/attic or deal with cleaning people’s messy houses, you’re out of luck!
We loved The Last Detective but had to find the shows through other sources… certainly not BBCA! I remember when the BBCA broadcast things like Midsomer Murders, Wives and Daughters, ETC. I guess that it’s cheaper for them to purchase the broadcasting rights to the kitchen/attic/house reality shows.
Of course, I also remember when The Learning Channel was just that >>> a place that broadcast shows that emphasized science and/or history themes. Certainly not shows that dealt with families that could outdo each other on the amount of children they could have.
Oh, oh… I’m off on another rant!
Thank you for writing, and thank you for telling us about the re-airing of Castle!

I’m looking forward to all of the above!

Darn, my cable provider does not carry Lifetime Movie Channel.

Hi Dru,
That’s exactly how I feel about the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency movie/series being on HBO. We don’t get that channel, so I am waiting patiently until we can buy/rent the DVDs.
(I didn’t think that we got Lifetime Movie Channel, either. I was quite surprised to see it posted as LMC.)

Having just finished watching the second in the Miss Marple series that is being presented on Masterpiece Mystery during July 2009, I absolutely have to write a blog… What a disappointment!
