It's a mystery to me

It struck me again last night, as I watched the Inspector Lynley season finale on Mystery!, that most of the mysteries shown on that series are made in Great Britain. Why are there not any U.S. mysteries? Two Tony Hillerman novels were shown in the past few years, but no other Americans are included.

Mystery fans are as much a significant group as sci-fi fans. My mom even belongs to the Mystery Guild book club, and I'd like to see some of those authors' works made into TV episodes. I think the U.S. mystery fans need to write PBS and demand some home-grown mysteries be shown on TV.
