Light mysteries and such. ---

Possibly Castle. The mystery/detective part is often a little obvious - though it improve as it goes on - but the characters and their interactions are fantastic. ---

Reruns of _Monk_, along with the all-new novels by Lee Goldberg. ---

As a Firefly fan, how could I have forgotten about it? And why won’t the ABC Player work? Never mind, I have previous seasons to catch up on. ---

There’s also a lesser-known show called [The Good Guys](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1567254/), with Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks, that’s worth you trying. I love it mainly for the bad guys, who have much more personality than the bad guys in most shows. It only ran for one season, which I was sad about, but the showmakers seemed to just accept it and wrapped the show up in the last episode, so you get to watch a properly complete series. ---

_Midsomer Murders_. _Mayo_ was underrated. Only lasted a few episodes, but I thought it was really good. Same with _Eleventh Hour_, though that may not really be in the same “light fare” league. ---

Re: Castle I have nothing against paper-thin plots when handled amusingly, but I was mildly surprised to find I’d seen the first two seasons. But I enjoyed the reminders of what I missed. Y’know, when you schedule a show near work-bed time, you can’t expect your viewers to be awake through the whole thing.
