Oh, and that one with the chick from the old NBC show Profiler that USA had for a couple of years (what's her name, where she was a Marshall handling Witness Protection people)
That's pretty much it. Nothing else holds my attention without annoying me long enough to get that far.
So for something like this hypothetical Mike show to fall into "those types of shows" isn't a problem for me, hell it's probably a benefit.

Oh, I get it. I like shows like that, too. It's a common story theme, but it is one that works, that people enjoy. Just because it's not original, doesn't mean it isn't well done or shouldn't be attempted.
I'm really more saying that I like both story lines, on their own merits.
