Anyone watch "The Closer" on TNT? Terrific!
I loved it and watched it because the Boston Globe had given it a great review and I also love Kyra Sedgewick and J.K. Simmons.

I especially like the commercial free premier episode.

1. Yea
But I had to pee so bad and there wasn't any commericals. Good first show. Let's hope that they don't do the same thing every week. I knew right away who the killer was and how the victim really was.

2. I don't know if I can take an hour
of another southern accent. I'm already tired of them.

3. I love southern accents since I am "cursed" with a very broad
Boston accent.

4. Same here
I spent the hour alternately fleeing from Kyra Sedgwick's accent and Tucker Carlson's--well, Tucker Carlson's EVERYTHING!

5. Wasn't it GREAT?!?!?!
Nice plot line. Superb character development. Potentially brilliant back stories.

And the un-PC guy in the office is completely unrepentant, which I find refreshing.

Kyra Sedgwick is always great, but this show is off the scale. Almost as compelling - we'll see - as "House."

6. The ending was what really struck me----this very disciplined lady is
a closet "Ring Ding" eater.(Or whatever that snack food was)

My secret stash is Drake's "Funny Bones"

7. I thought for sure
the silver box held cocaine or something equally forbidden. But it was chocolate! And the sounds she made while biting into it - right out of bad porn.

I'm a TastyKake Peanut Butter Kandy Kake freak myself..... :)

8. We all have our secret snack cake habits!!!
My late mother loved Ring Dings and they always make me think of her.

10. THAT's his name?
The guy's everywhere. Law and Order, Oz, and now The Closer.

He's terrific. Just an absolutely great character actor.

He was absolutely frightening as a White Supremacist leader in Oz.

Thanks for this.
