TNT is running a marathon of The Closer today, leading up to tonight’s premiere of its (sighhhh, sob…) final season. While no one can replace it, at least some of the other cable networks have come through with a few shows to help us through the DT’s after the show finale.
Since Woman cannot live on NCIS reruns alone, I’m passing my favorites along to you. Newspapers have all but omitted the daily TV listings, so consider this a public service. I’ll deduct the cable bill from my taxes.
Check out Suits (USA)… The Glades (A&E)… Necessary Roughness (USA…) In Plain Sight (USA)… Memphis Blues (TNT)…Rizzoli & Isles (TNT)… Covert Affairs (USA.) These are my favorites because I can record them to have on hand while doing something else–knitting dozing, sewing, ironing…. Yes, I do iron, thank you. Next year IS a leap year, you know.
There are also some grittier shows like Southland (TNT) and The Killing (AMC.)
At least three of the shows I mentioned broadcast at 10 PM on Sunday nights and probably several others run opposite each other, too, so it’s not like I’m suggesting you spend the week on your butt in front of the TV. That spot may already be taken.
Dearly Beloved shakes his head at my TV tastes, since his TV tastes are more refined: sports.
Some of the shows I’ve listed rerun several times during the week (up at 3 AM?) or can be watched online.
Do you have any favorite gems I’ve overlooked?
Still, my friends and I will miss The Closer and its quirky characters, so, this one’s for you, “Brendah….”
PS. How the heck does she do that?
