I also agree, chichenitza. As you know, it took cable to come out with something like "House" and other serial dramas like "Burn Notice" and "Damages". Its nice that "Stone" has a real sense of humor. They have done very good character development that holds your interest from episode to episode. Look at the stars like Glenn Close and Ted Danson who are doing cable instead of cinema now. Even the commercials are better than the reality TV on broadcast.With "ER" gone the plot development on broadcast is pretty thin. Also, there has been interesting Canadian TV, most popular being DaVinci's Inquest. Other Canadian programs of interest being "Re Genesis" and one I hope Hulu also screens, "Due South"."Due South" was a CBS-Canadian government production which lasted about 5 seasons and now has a growing cult following. The Canadian government knows that are more reasons than money to produce quality programming. It is great that Hulu is re airing some of these gems.Folks, if you are looking for some good escape TV check out "Stone Undercover" and some of the other Canadian TV you can find. Canadian TV is more than just hockey and "Second City". Now, I live in AZ, just about as far as you can get from Canada.

It is a little like LIFE - and it has grown on me also - btw the way the Kidder lady (the female star) is a niece of Margot Kidder - do they not look alike? the first couple shows I kept thinking I had seen her before - now I know why - worth the watch

I wasn't sure I liked "Stone Undercover" when I watched the first episode, but after a couple episodes, it starts to grow on you. Now after the fourth episode, it kind of reminds me a little of my favorite program that NBC cancelled after its first season - "Life". I thought "Life" was a 5-star progam, but apparently NBC decided to back Jay Leno instead this fall because it's just another cheap program to produce. Personally, I'm sick of all the cheap games shows and cheap reality programs in the 8:00 to 11:00 time slots. Now NBC has added a cheap talk show and/or variety show at 10:00 for Leno. Ridiculous.Anyhow, "Stone" has a similar thread to "Life" running through it in that the title character is trying to figure out who sent him to jail, and there is a complicated web of people involved, people end up missing and/or dead. So if you were a fan of "Life", then this program might grow on you. It's not as good as "Life", but I'm liking it more and more.
