Rizzoli & Isles starts back up tomorrow night...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

...anyone else watch this? I started reading the books, then the series started, and while she is a Republican, I really like Angie Harmon. She's so sweet on Twitter. Plus, the show is really well done and well written.

[one_voice]

1. Yes. I watch this...

I like Angie Harmon. I was kinda hoping the series that was based on James Patterson women's murder club would have made the cut, but it didn't. I liked that too, and read the books.

I like Necessary Roughness, Suits, and Franklin and Bash. All are starting soon.

[Little Star]

8. Yep, Necessary Roughness, Suits, and Franklin and Bash are on my list too!...

Edit to ask: Ya gonna watch The Glades? I like that one too.

[one_voice]

17. Yep, I like The Glades too....

Burn Notice too.

[Little Star]

18. I never watched Burn Notice but have heard a lot of good things about it...

Think I'm gonna have to get that series on DVD.

[one_voice]

19. I've missed a few episodes, so I have to look for them...

it's pretty good. Sharon Gless is in it....I like her.

[Little Star]

2. Me, me, me....

I'll be dvr-ing it! I'm with ya, even though she's a R she's still a good actress. I liked her in Law and Order too.

She keeps her political leanings pretty low key. That helps!

[TreasonousBastard]

3. OK, I'll admit it...

I'm madly in love with Maura Isles.

Not Sasha Alexander, I don't know her although I don't doubt she's a perfectly nice woman, but Isles is the type of character I fall for every time-- intelligent and educated, slightly geeky, funny, and yet gorgeous. It remains to be seen just how she works out Rizzoli shooting her father. Scumbag that he was, it's still not Rizzoli's business to plug his ass.

[Little Star]

7. Maura Isles is a great character for that show.

[romana]

4. Second season was horrible

I loved the show first season, but I thought second season was horrible. This has to be among the worst written shows on television right now. The police procedural aspect is laughable, and Maura is a mess of a character. The cast is stellar, they all just deserve to be in a much better crafted show.

I think I may wait and catch up once the series is cancelled. I was really disappointed in second season and I'm not convinced the writers have improved. It's sad, because I want to like it.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

5. So negative.

It's not going to be canceled. The show had ratings records last year for cable tv. I doubt it's going anywhere for a while.
I understand not liking something. Maybe you should read the books. The TV show is apparently a little too much for you. Maybe it's better when it's inside YOUR head?

[romana]

9. Hmm

I commented about the show and your response is a personal insult when you don't agree with me?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

11. I just meant you obviously didn't care for the interpretation of the books into the show.

I wasn't personally insulting you.

[joeybee12]

6. Angie Harmon is a major, nasty Repuke...

Hope it gets canceled.

[Little Star]

10. She may be a R but she's one hell of an actress. Besides...

she is no Ted Nugent when it comes to being a nasty repuke. She keeps her politics pretty low.

I hope this show goes on for a long time cause I really like it.

[truebrit71]

13. Although they did have Bill O'Loofah on an episode last season..an episode i switched off..

...Angie's character talked about what a douche he was, but her 'mom' talked about how nice he looked..regardless, it had him on it, so I didn't bother to watch the rest of the episode...

I like 'Falling Skies' too btw...interested to see how the plot develops this season..

[joeybee12]

21. Watch Fox and Friends and you'll change your mind...

Besides, she's a god-awful actress...really, really bad.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

12. I've had her on my Twitter since the show started.

She's not said anything nasty that I can see.
Way to wish unemployment on a TON of people just because you don't like one person on the show. That's not very progressive or liberal of you.

[Little Star]

14. Never thought about it that way before but your right!

[joeybee12]

20. Apparently you've never seen her on Fox...

Or praising George W. Bush...yeah, she's a celebrity so you bow down no matter what her views.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

22. Yeah, because I can't think for myself.

Who the fuck do you think you are? You don't know me.
I can just look past people and see that they are not the sum total of their political views. I haven't seen her on Fox because I don't watch that drivel. But like I said, I'm judging her on what I've seen on her Twitter. How dare I judge people on personality and not their political beliefs! I'm evil! Ridiculous.

[mainer]

27. But the rest of the cast may not be republicans

so you'd punish the whole cast and crew because of one actor?

[ceile]

15. Was a good premier.

I can't read the books. Read 3. They are so different from the tv series that I had to pick one or the other. And honestly, if they're the best Tess Gerritsen (sp?) has to offer...well, I suppose I should give her non Rizzoli books a try before I pass judgement. I like Angie Harmon too- I really had to separate her politics from her acting when she was on L&O. Sometimes they meshed a little too close for my comfort...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

16. Can you not read a book and take the movie/TV show as a different entity?

Maybe we're the only ones who can do that. I like them both for different reasons. The Surgeon is SOOO good.
And just to be clear, that was not meant to be insulting or condescending. I was really asking a question.

[ceile]

23. oh I can, I just didn't like the books enough to try.

Didn't care for them so I'll stick w/ the show.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

24. Have you tried the Kathy Reichs books..

...that they based the TV show Bones on? Well, they took the name and the profession, but the rest is NOTHING like the books. You might try them. They are super good.

[ceile]

25. I've thought about that.

Those and The Finder books. I need a new series to read for the summer.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

26. They're great!

And there are lots of them!
