The Closer - Til Death Do Us Part I

Published Date: September 3rd, 2007
Category: The Closer

Brenda is so eager to return to work that she goes straight to the crime scene once the doctor gives her the go-ahead after surgery.  She has a rescue worker lower her to the car that has gone off a cliff - the way the camera turns it begins to make even me feel a […]

The Closer - Culture Shock - Review

Brenda’s folks are still in town and it’s time to take them sight-seeing.  What better way to mix business with pleasure while Brenda and her team investigate the murder of a tour bus guide!
Fritz seems to have a lot of time on his hands lately, though it appears that he still has his FBI job.  […]

The Closer - Blindsided - Review

Brenda has been taken off active duty because of the recent shooting of a serial killer. Pope awaits word from the Police Department psychiatrist that she is fit in order to allow her back. Brenda is having none of this and she sneaks around to work with her squad.
Pope puts her on PR […]

The Closer - Manhunt - Review

Well I was certainly wrong about Brenda’s condition!  Early onset of menopause and not pregnancy.  Brenda did not see that coming.  So now she has to call her mom and ask when she starting menopause.  It’s enough to lose all men from watching this show.
I’m glad Fritz is there for her.  Whatever he thought her […]

The Closer - Four to Eight - Review

You read it here first! I can just see Brenda waddling around in her third trimester, sneaking cookies.
I’m glad to see Francis Capra (Miguel) is continuing to work. How ironic that his character is so similar to Weevil from Veronica Mars.
Did Fritz catch the flu from Brenda?
The big issue I saw in this […]

The Closer - Dumb Luck - Review

Published Date: July 28th, 2007

You’ve gotta love Provenza.  He’s one of the highlights of this show, providing comic relief more often than not.  Showing off with the all the information he gathered about a possible subject but, unfortunately, not the person’s name.
And Fritz really came through for Brenda this time, sitting with her in the doctor’s office while they […]

The Closer - The Round File

Published Date: July 22nd, 2007
Category: The Closer

This show was guest star-centric: Nina Foch, Orson Bean, Mrs. Landingham, and the lightbulb headed guy. Almost enough to distract from the plotline.
Nice to see that we didn’t have to wait long for Sgt. Gabriel’s suspension to end. But Brenda made it a cold environment for him and Daniels had to bear the […]

The Closer - Ruby

“When a child goes missing, everyone knows that Priority Homicide runs the show” - it’s nice to see it’s clear who is in charge, unlike the ambiguity on a recent Standoff. They may be in charge, but they have to be careful not to mention the word homicide to the family as they look […]

The Closer - Saving Face

Some observations:

I found myself smiling when Flynn was giving his eulogy and Provenza was laughing at the memorial service. Reminded me of the funeral of Chuckles the Clown on the old Mary Tyler Moore show.

And wasn’t it priceless when it was discovered that their friend was almost buried with a nude female body and, […]

The Closer Review

Kyra Sedgewick was hot tonite! I just finished watching the first episode and it was great! I love her whole team and I’m glad Gabriel found a workaround so they could all stay together and Provenza didn’t have to retire…but wasn’t he working so hard so Brenda would want him to stay.
Now Kyle […]
