Leave it to the Onion to put the TV detective genre in perspective. Thanks for the hilarious link, John. I have to start reading the Onion again.

And addendum to what is the modern thriller paradigm?<br />
<br />
I'm not sure this is about the paradigm, but it certainly is about the thriller. Other things that the BEST of them have:<br />
<br />
5. True thrills.<br />
6. A real plot, excellent characters, a strong setting, and a theme that strikes a nerve.

5. All events happen in immediate succession.<br />
6. Like Jack Bauer, nobody ever needs a restroom break.

The high schoolers I teach mostly cart around the latest vampire/fantasy saga, it's true. I began with science fiction and fantasy as a child - still read some on rare occasions - but as I aged and began looking for more realistic fiction, I naturally found mystery/crime (and westerns, too, but we won't talk about realism much).
