Investigation Discovery (ID) transports viewers back to the bad old days with the return of the network's two-time Emmy Award-winning series, A CRIME TO REMEMBER.

Surely most theatre folks have seen productions of the fabulous musical THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical, making the show the 2002 season's most awarded new show on Broadway, based on the original story and screenplay by Richard Morris for the 1967 Universal Pictures film directed by George Roy Hill and starring Julie Andrews.
