I would like to see more Mystery in the old style, when it was a separate program. The Dalgleish and Morse series were outstanding. So was the series with Helen Mirren. There were several more memorable ones (which I can't remember).
For a science show, Nova is very good, but there are only a very few original shows each year; most are reruns. Nova has "dumbed-down" a bit lately too, with dizzying zooms and pans, and annoying sound effects. For someone truly interested in science, those techniques are annoying distractions. I'd like to see more quality science shows.
A few pet peeves about the new "Masterpiece": Why did you have to take the perfectly good and universally recognized classical theme for Masterpiece Theater and mess it up??
