These guys played off each other so well. The premise of using psychology to manipulate people was a bit creepy at times, but it worked with these guys...it was never too easy to decide to manipulate people or too hard, but kind of like Goldilocks...just the right amount of angst.
Seeing women work together as friends and not competitors is so healthy. Rizolli's mother is also an impressive character and the family extends beyond Rizzoli's bio family to her work family. There is a stark contrast between the two types of dysfunctional families...Rizolli, traditional Italian but with divorced parents and Isles with almost no knowledge of her father for much of her life and no empathy for her mother.
It was so good that they gave DDD a few extra years. I really loved the characters and the way the friendships were so deep, but the principles and expectations were very high. Grayson was a good guy even beyond his romance with beauty queen Deb, but the plot twists did keep me interested.
Guy later does TERRA NOVA and doesn't do much better a job as an actor in that either...It just seems he could get by on his looks for a long time and forgot to learn to act, and I like the roles he has earned, but I don't like his work.
This is a feel good romance from the lifetime people, so it is wholesome and light and airy, but the DEAD LETTER OFFICE gets some interesting challenges for the crew, and love and affection seem to bring people back for more human contact than they ever dreamed.
Oh I miss this show. The guys had real brotherly chemistry and they had unexpected character that had lots more room to grow in this military comedy of misfits turned heroes.
What can I say, MASH was the show my father watched all the time when he was alive, and often we would watch it together and I would get a glimpse of his lifetime with a tinge of the modern attitudes always in the background.
I enjoyed the characters in Greek. The females were not wusses who always waited for the guys to take charge even though sometimes they got a bit nasty, they were real, and the little brother Rusty was a good person but I loved his holier than thou roommate.
Fare thee well CSI cast and crew. The real life story has been as interesting as the onscreen at times, but in all, I actually enjoyed the cast and the cameraderie on this show, but NOT the CSI: Cyber at all.
Don't know if Ted Danson can fix the Cyber show or not, but that would be four major series for Danson? Cheers, Becker, CSI and five if you count Damages as a major series (and there were a couple others where he was not just a guest star one off or arc)
This has been up and down since Chris Meroni left, but in general Mariska Hargatay is such a strong leading lady that I am actually glad he left (and I liked him) There are so few women who are actually the LEAD in TV shows, and she is super believable and not so perfect that you want to knock her down a peg or two.
