Well, orbthesela, once you've watched fifteen or twenty years of U. S. "crime" shows, or even read forty of fifty British "crime" novels, you'll come to recognize the humor lurking in so many genre stories. You were brilliant to see through the rubber face of the Sinatra Karaoke singer. The writers know their audience is a savvy one. They wanted us to know who the killer is, but notice, there was a nice "twist" at the end. So we had the pleasure of being "in the know" for awhile as well as the pleasure of being surprised at the end.

Wasn't Roger Daltrey terrific? The Pinball Wizard! Of course, orbthesela, CSI's theme song, "Who Are You?" is an obvious link for you. Personally, I enjoyed seeing Katherine Willows as a sixteen-year-old and then as a forty-something discovering that the father she loves-hates actually protected her younger self from that sociopathic Mickey Dunn.
