> Don't know what the "mystery!" thing is though.

British mystery series, repackaged for American PBS television. All the Agatha Christie series you guys have -- Poirot, with David Suchet; Miss Marple, with Joan Hickson; Partners In Crime, with Francesca Annis and James Warwick -- are featured on it, plus a bunch of other series like Lord Peter Wimsey, with Ian Carmichael. Same shows, different packaging. Basically, the "Mystery!" open credits show up, then a host (currently Diana Rigg) introduces whatever show it's going to be, and then we get the opening credits to that show, then the show itself.

We also have a cable channel called A&E (Arts & Entertainment) that shows a lot of these British mystery series under their original names.
