Hi Ann,
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. That’s really interesting that they only showed the Cologne team! It’s too bad they took it off the air. I’m not sure if you follow it, but that team is still current in Cologne: Klaus Behrendt and Dietmar Bär.

Here’s a good link for you: you can write and ask for Behrendt’s autograph.

Again thanks for stopping by,
Bill

Tatort (the Cologne version) used to be shown in the Washington DC area on one of the MhZ public TV channels, but they have taken it off the air (along with Water Rats, an Australian police show I also enjoyed).

I think that Klaus Behrendt is like a Germanic Tommy Lee Jones … he is just the best!

Hi Alan,

Are you the Alan from back in “Billspricht.net” days? If so, nice to see you again! If not, welcome!

Speaking of Otti Fischer, he’s in the news today … http://bit.ly/igk28. Poor son of a gun.

I’d never heard of Kinoplus — just checked it out. Looks good! Hope you get it.

Take care,
Bill

I grind my teeth in envy waiting for when the Canadian government regulators let German KinoPlus broadcast into Canada. I’d pay a lot for Tatort. I am paying now for Der Bulle von Toelz, but Tatort would be the cream!
