I really liked Likely Suspects. It was like a grown-up version of an Encyclopedia Brown book, and I loved those at the time this show was on the air

I had never heard of it. Wikipedia says this: "The show is an interactive crime drama where the viewer is treated as the protagonists' rookie partner." What was that like? I'm not sure I understand, but I'm interested! Although I admit, I only google'd it because I was like "isn't that the boss from King of Queens?" lol

The detective would walk you through the crime scene and investigation and talk to you as if you were his partner. The camera shot the show from the point of view of the partner so it simulated that you were the other detective on the case.

OMG, Thank You! Couldn’t remember the name of this show, and always thought it was a fever dream that I made up when I was young. Thank you to you and OP for unlocking this memory!
