WE DON'T NEED TO GET CLOSER:
The lowdown on new seasons for popular TV (Florangela Davila, 6/17/07, Seattle Times)
The small screen's sweet 'n' sly Deputy Police Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson returns for a third season of "The Closer" (9 p.m. Mondays on TNT). And anybody who's been a fan knows Kyra Sedgwick, who plays the crafty police interrogator, applauded loudly when she (deservedly) nabbed the Golden Globe earlier this year.But let's hope this new season finally delves into the Brenda Leigh-and-Fritz relationship. I mean, how patient and accommodating can this guy (Jon Tenney) possibly be?
Friend Mike Daley got us hooked, but the point of the show is her interrogations and the way she breaks suspects. Almost as good is the ineraction amongst her team and the way she navigates departmental politics. It would be a tragedy to make it a mere soap opera.
N.B.: Starting at 1AM tonight they're running a marathon of all the prior episodes--set your Tivo

I adore this series. My favorite episode is the baseball episode, with Lt. Flynn and Provensa (sp?!) finding the dead body in the garage, then deciding to go to the game before calling it in.
I was laughing the entire episode!
