Cop shows. Crime shows. Forensics shows. I'm watching 'em all lately, with the exception of COPS itself, and I find the A&E ones to be the best. However, during Scene of the Crime last night (or was it Investigative Reports?), the show featured a reinactment of a witness interrogation regarding the fact that she'd been raped while vacationing in Florida. The scene took place at the home of the witness, somewhere in southern Ontario. Kudos to the set dec folk for dressing the tiny set as such: in the corner behind the detective -- a stack of firewood. And draped across the back of the chair, prominent every time the detective leaned forward with a concerned look on her face -- a Hudson's Bay blanket. It's a minor detail that probably only Canadians and set dec would understand. If the camera could have zoomed in just a bit closer, I imagine there would have been a small splooch of maple syrup on the edge of the blanket, just for added credibility.
