Sorry, I did not note that in context the critic was talking
about the big four Networks - ABC, NBC, CBS & Fox.
I would also note that the two USA programs - Monk &
Psych - were passed on by the big four networks, though they
have appeared on Network as summer replacements. Both shows
feature characters who primarily act as police contractors
and under police authority, though both have taken outside
customers.
Can't talk to either the Dresden Files or The Dead
Zone.

TV?
Monk, Psych, Dresden Files and Dead Zone all feature
PIs (licensed or
otherwise) who work with the cops to solve crimes. Burn
Notice, about
an ex-spy working as a PI, premiered last night.
There's some new
do-gooder vampire show next season that looks like a
remake of Angel.
The late, lamented Veronica Mars lasted three seasons.
We've been
discussing the upcoming Marlowe adaptation. Hardly a
"lack."
