Apparently, the show's future is teetering on the brink of keep or cancel....
Mon.-Tues.-Wed. are repeats. Thursday night will feature a new epi.
I saw the trailers.
Some chick pretending she can kick people’s butts doesn’t cut it.
2) Seems too much like one of those indistinguishable chick cop shows on TNT or USA or Lifetime: The Closer, In Plain Sight, Saving Grace, etc.
3) That whole hat and scarf thing is pretty silly -- striving to be "cool" and have "attitude" when you obviously don't.
Tough blondes with badges and guns, self-expression through accessorizing -- concepts that have to be rethought or abandoned.
Hi, ‘dita and company:
I’ll pass.
The original Helen Mirren series rocked silent but strong. Tried the pilot and another episode of the new version. It’s just another hot chick in skinny jeans. Who’s in over her head while trying to be a bad ass.
Much prefer Jim Caviezel in ‘Person Of Interest’ for its Old School, Edward Woodward/’The Equalizer’ vibe.
Jack.
I’ve seen the commercials but it really didn’t appeal to me. In any event, I’ll be watching Top Shot on History.
I thought this was going to be a good show, but it is just another liberal BS show!
First BS note: women mistreated in the work force/glass ceiling - she got moved to a different unit and now is ostracized by all the MALES in the unit, except for the boss.
Next item: women are always smarter - in every show, she is the only one smart enough to solve the crime. Oh, the other guys did help - reluctantly (see First BS note).
And she is trying her best to harness her inner Colombo by wearing a ruffled overcoat (most of the time) and rubbing her forehead while asking questions. I have seen this TWICE!
I have seen it and it sucks. All this woman does is sulk around and be a victim.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND "Homeland" on Showtime and "Strike Back," which just ended its first season on Cinemax. Believe me, it's worth it to rent the video series when it comes out. (The hottest woman on television, Amanda Mealing, doesn't hurt). Based on a British series, but done with a distinctly American flair for violence :)

Barbie Snorts Her Way to Cancellation!
I live for a gal who’s survived in the movies—shown she has what it takes to star in many of them, some even successful—and then totally reinvents herself afterwards. That’s right, for a second career as a TV star! Of course, where else is there for movie chicks who age, but, that’s beside the point. Which is that Barbie Sinatra started reinventing herself long before she dipped into TV fare by... Totally changing her appearance. We mean totally.
Whereas many folks guessed about Barbie’s nips here and tucks there, we’re here to tell you it was all due to nose-candy, baby! That’s right, Barbie, who got famous with an entirely different figure than the one she possesses now, decided she wanted what the rest of the chicas had in Hollywood, i.e., lots more acting opportunities. And Barbie’s more natural appearance she got famous with just wasn’t cutting it enough. The drugged-out Pygmalion stuff worked pretty well for awhile, too.
But, just like all addictions, Barbie’s coke habit eventually got the better of her and that primo TV gig she landed as a result of her new-found frame is about to be cancelled—not in the least because Barbie’s coke-fuelled scenes of over-acting. I mean, Barb gives new meaning to the term scenery-chewing, as she also eats her costars alive, too, hysterical stuff! Only it’s not a comedy she’s starring in, dearies!
And It Ain’t: Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Jessica Lange.
The guessing favors Maria Bello
