It's better than that, really. But I watched it when I was younger. Look, dog + not bad-looking cop solve crimes in German! And there's breadrolls and some silly attempts at comedy. It's actually quite all right. Inspector Rex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector_Rex) on Wikipedia.

I think I may be intrigued. But I've got Jonathan Creek to download first. That's silly and quotable and easy on the eye too. Plus, crime-solving!
