Factual errors: The show is set in Phoenix. In the Season Premier in Sep '05, in the closing scenes, pursuit of the murderer takes them to the Sun Devil basketball arena during an Arizona State basketball game. But the clips of the game are actually from McKale Center at the University of Arizona and are of a University of Arizona basketball game; The U of A Wildcats are arch rivals of the Sun Devils and the true basketball powerhouse in the state.

[to Allison]

Theme

I'm looking forward to the next episode

My wife and I both thought the initial episode of this series was very entertaining. The premise of the show is certainly thought provoking and the hour passed by faster than my remote can skip over any "Reality" show I stumble onto. I thought it well written and acted, with some memorable dialogue. The Texas Rangers even sounded Texan, Though I doubt they travel in a pack, that scene was one of several visual attention grabbers. Horatio over on CBS will have to solve his crimes without my assistance as long as Patricia Arquette and all involved keep up the good work in that competing time slot. The sequencing of the story line kept us interested in the plot. I predict and hope it'll stick around. We will certainly watch it this Thursday evening
