  I have never seen a Jesse Stone movie but I plan to look at some just to
  see if they're my cup of tea. I like a good Western too so I may track
  down some of Selleck's....

    I can't think of Selleck in a GOOD Western.

That's unfortunate. Mind you, now that I think about it, I *did* start
watching Quigley Down Under once and didn't like it enough to stay to
the end. I also watched at least a part of one episode of Magnum P.I.
but I'm not sure I finished that either. I decided it was just too
ridiculously improbable that a guy who was operating a helicopter, which
must be an expensive beast, could lend it to his friend Magnum pretty
much any time he needed it. Surely he'd have to prioritize paying
customers so that he'd have some hope of keeping the helicopter and
maintaining his business. (I had similar objections to The Practice as
Bobby and crew eventually had nearly all their clients being "old
friends" who presumably got free or heavily-discounted legal work.)

 Same complaint about THE EQUALIZER. Seems like every client she takes, she
doesn't charge them because they're such good people who are in a bad spot.
One wonders, then, how she pays her bills.
 

As I recall, that was usually/always the case in the original series with Edward Woodward. (It's been a long time so I may just be forgetting that he did expect payment.) I don't think I gave it a lot of thought at the time so it didn't offend me as much as when The Practice did it a few years later.
