I haven’t watched this show yet, but the first season is near the top of my Netflix queue. ---

I didn’t watch the first season either, but they were showing a marathon prior to the second season starting, and my daughter and I got hooked. I saw a review at the NY Post that the show is getting too big and too good to be summer filler. Alas, the link is expired. ---

[QUOTE=ivylass] I didn’t watch the first season either, but they were showing a marathon prior to the second season starting, and my daughter and I got hooked. [/QUOTE] I started watching during a marathon too (not sure what season was showing..the marathon was a few weeks ago). It’s a pretty good show, but her really annoys me. It seriously hinders my enjoyment of the show. No offense to people who speak with a similar accent. Perhaps it’ll grow on me. ---

Yeah, as far as I know, nobody from Atlanta really talks like that. But I can overlook it. I’m looking forward to this. New episodes of _The Closer_ will help me endure the wait until new episodes of _Heroes_ and _Psych_ start in January. ---

The problem is, _The Closer_ airs from 8p-10p, while _Heroes_ and _Studio 60_ air from 9p-11p. I’m thinking of watching _The Closer_ and taping the others. ---

[/QUOTE] Actually, doesn’t TNT rerun _The Closer_ immediately after itself? Then, you can watch from 8-9 and then continue from 11-midnight. I’m looking forward to the series returning as well. 🙂 ---

I can’t stay up that late. I have a cycling class at 5:30am (yes, that’s in the morning! :eek: ) Either way it overlaps another show I want to watch. ---

Long Island is the worst. Boston is pretty bad too. ;\> ---

I watched the first hour and taped the second. They’re replaying season 2 Tuesdays at 10p. Welcome back, Brenda!
