>Here in the UK our cop shows are like Midsomer Murders. Most episodes don’t even feature a gun...

Midsomer Murders is a murder mystery show, not really a cop show. There are plenty of action oriented Brotish Cop shows.

I love Midsomer Murders by the way.

Well, so is NCIS then, and they love guns and rule-breaking...

NCIS is a federal investigative and intelligence service--much like MI5, which leads us to Spooks that also has quite a bit of guns and rule breaking.

NCIS? Don't assume anything based on that show; it is a ridiculous farce of nonsense and made-up bullshit. I have family members who watch it religiously, in all its goofy flavors. Not a minute passes without the seemingly serious portrayal of something that would never happen.

Of course it's ridiculous. Who said otherwise?
