Kudos to TNT for coming our with tw really fine dramas for this summer season: "Rizzoli & Isles" and "Memphis Beat." Although I think "Memphis Bloe" would have been a better name because of the heavy musical blues aspect of it and police color.
Both are heavy character-driven shows which is always a sure-fire way to success.
"Rizzoli & Isles" features actresses from "Law and Order" and "NCIS" along with favorite "Animal House" D-Day. Two more different people could not have been found,
"Memphis Beat" stars a favorite actor of mine, the guy from "My Name is Earl" and quite a range of characters both from the police department and others in the Memphis Community. This show reminds me a lot of the great "Frank's Place" from back in the 80s.
Also, TVLand appears to have a hit with "Hot in Cleveland," again with an excellent cast. "Hot" reminds me of a younger "Golden Girls" but needs to cut back on the smirky looks aspect the characters always give whenever a remark is made.
