I'm guessing that many fans of this series didn't first watch it when it aired - most likely some time during the evening hours.
Instead, I have a 'day' which starts preturnaturally - very early.
Whilst I'd be getting ready for the day ahead, I had Forensic Files on, as I darted about my home, drinking my coffee, finding a sock.
A brilliant idea for a show of any type; it was very straight-forward; a crime had been committed, and over the next 22 minutes, we viewers would learn not just the 'who', did the crime, but'how' it was done, and how the pieces were put together.
One of the smartest things done by 'HLN' (I put it in quotes because I think one of THE DUMBEST things done was turning Headline News into just another outlet for shows - NOT news) was bringing Forensic Files back (hence the 'II' at the name's end).
Unlike so many shows brought back, they very wisely kept the format the same.
It's like people who are brought in to bring back (most ANY) show, series, film, etc. They don't realise the reason something's beloved has to do with what had been done.
Let me say that a bit clearer; recently, I heard a (cartoon) series would launch about the smartest passion in the'Mystery Mobile'; Velma.
I always loved Velma, and apparently, I'm not alone. What came on the air... well, it's one of the VERY few things on IMDb which has received MANY bad reviews, and a score of...1.
Other than Velma's classic, schlumpy sweater and skirt, everything about her was changed (and NOT for the better).
There's an old saying; 'if it ain't broke, DON'T 'fix' it'.
Wisely, the people who've brought us FF II clearly understand this.
I've very little to quibble about.
My only issue is ii's narrator.
The voice of the original series was Peter Thomas, who's mellifluous voice worked wonderfully in tandem with a show of this type.
Sadly, Mr Thomas died several years ago, and in spite off this, they found he couldn't work anymore.
A new cove was needed for II, and I think that - even if your didn't know Mr Thomas' name, his voice, and delete were so stunt associated with the series that he was somewhat like the original series' icon, so to speak.
This series' narrator, Bill Camp, has a voice which doesn't (for me) 'jibe' with the tone of the series, because his voice sounds somewhat like Stacy Keach, esp narrating American Greed (2007); slightly hyped-up,
Don't get me wrong; I love American Greed, and Mr Keach's slightly mocking tone, it's just that Forensic Files (either I or II) is something I like to relax and focus on. If it's night time, I'm probably going to sleep soon after. In the early morning, I don't want someone sounding like they're calling a horse race.
Other than that, it's terrific to have Forensic Files back, and since the crime of murder is not going to go away, w need a series, like Forensic Files.
