Let me add to the current shows similar to PIs: Leverage
Concerning the fantastic Burn Notice, possibly the best show on TV right
now:
A few weeks ago, they did an episode which suggested that a writer had read
Paul Auster´ś City of Glass(Any COG readers out there?)
The main character, Michael Westin, worked for a client, Spenser, played by
an actor named Michael Weston. Spenser spoke in a sort of ¨Rain Man¨
cadence and saw patterns in many things which seemed coincidental.
