Japanese police procedural

I'm looking for the name of a Japanese live action drama I saw an episode of, subtitled, on television in the United States in the early 2000s. It was a police procedural, a very low key almost "cozy mystery" style one. From what I remember of the plot of the episode, the main characters were police detectives investigating the suspected murder of an old woman living with her daughter. At first they suspected a man who had been caught scamming the elderly in the area with fake meter readings, then the daughter, before finally working out that the woman had died accidentally from a fall. I only ever saw that one episode, on a local station (I don't remember which one, it may have been WLIW or WNYE). I remembered it out of the blue tonight and would like to see more of it, any help tracking down the name would be appreciated. 72.89.45.198 (talk) 07:25, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What's the highest team score from a Test where ≤5 days had play time and they had 40 outs?

I found out there was a Test where a team got 1121 runs but they didn't finish the game. There must've been tons of Timeless Tests where they racked up many runs cause they didn't have to declare right? Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 21:19, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That was March 1939 in Durban. South Africa scored 1011 but the match was drawn because the England side had to catch a train. See also List of Test cricket records. 2A00:23C4:7916:5100:BCA8:3981:9551:8F54 (talk) 09:46, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But they played like 10 days and only had 36 or 38 outs, not 5 days or less and 40. And there was a Test in Jamaica where a score of 1,121 was reached by they didn't finish that game either. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 11:49, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

These "outs" you refer to ... I presume you're referring to wickets taken. "Outs" is more a baseball term. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 21:07, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah here is the kind of list I was looking for, I don't know why Test is so single innings-obsessed when it comes to teams, Cricinfo doesn't even have the record (1121) and it has tons of best this lists. There's only two 6+ day Tests heading the list (a lot less than I guessed) and #3 is Australia scoring 1028 and getting England all out twice for 466 in only ~3 2/3rds days. All 40 wickets got taken too save for a good English bowler absent hurt once and a good English batsman who got 33 retired hurt then absent hurt. Thus Australia has proven that it's possible to score at least 1028 runs and still finish the game in 5 days without more luck than a good opposing batsman and bowler getting injured, that's not extreme luck right?

_{So you never say bottom of the second inning, 9 outs, no balls, two strikes, no men on, trailing by 6? Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 23:55, 28 July 2019 (UTC)}[reply]

_{No. That would be "This will be the final ball of the Test. England's perennial bunny needs to score a six to tie the match." Note that a tie is very different from a draw. HiLo48 (talk) 00:52, 29 July 2019 (UTC)}[reply]

In a game that lasts up to five days, injuries are inevitable. Losing a batsman "retired hurt" can be a combination of luck and fitness. HiLo48 (talk) 00:56, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just imagine if they played nine innings instead of two. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 02:04, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And innings in the cricket sense is both singular and plural. Never "inning". -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 01:31, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oddly enough, in some early baseball reports I've seen, the writer used the term "innings" in the same way as the cricket term. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 02:04, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Stage production sequels

Is there a category or list for stage production sequels? I can't imagine that there are none. For example, Cats II: Revenge of the Feline, Son of My Fair Lady, etc. Although my examples are not serious, the question is. 2606:A000:1126:28D:DD2:116:631B:C49E (talk) 16:33, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
