The audience for throwback TV is limited, and CBS has close to a lock on it. But the competition is still likely to try. As Patrick Jane knows, people are greedy and prey to temptation, and they fall into predictable patterns of behavior. It doesn't take a psychic to see that...

The two meet at least once a week and boast...
Some designers don't mind the Krystle Carrington references, while others claim the new look isn't a throwback. "I hate to call it '80s," says Karl Lagerfeld, who showed sculpted shoulders for Chanel. "It's more about a flawless look. It's about cut, quality and the silhouette." Whatever it is, just don't make Tess McGill's mistake and pair the new power suit with sneakers...
