Tess Gerritsen – Rizzoli & Isles AND The Closer on TNT channel tonight!

I know that I am sounding like a television commercial lately… but just want to remind those of you who are addicted (as I am!) to The Closer… It’s finally back.

Also, the debut of Terri Gerritsen’s Rizzoli & Isles show is tonight. Since I haven’t seen it yet, I can only hope that it is as good as some of the other shows the cable channels have been airing lately. Some of my very favorite shows can be found on TNT and USA! Who’d have thunk it?!?

Here is a link to my previous entry about TNT‘s new show :  Tess Gerritsen’s Rizzoli & Isles show.

And, here is a link that sort of provides a little information on another TNT show: The Closer.

I can only hope that Rizzoli & Isles is as good as The Closer!

Hercule Poirot, aka David Suchet on the Orient Express

It won’t be Murder on the Orient Express, but it will be David Suchet on the Orient Express.

Tonight, on your local PBS station (unless they are doing a special funding drive) David Suchet will be taking us on a tour of the Orient Express. And, of course, all of you know that David Suchet is the man behind the man with the little gray cells: the famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot.

So, check out your local PBS station so that you are sure to see this one-hour special Masterpiece presentation. And if you miss it tonight, it just might be re-shown in your area. Our PBS station will be re-airing it on Friday, July 9 at 12:30 AM and on Tuesday, July 13 at 2:30 and 3:30 AM.

(I think I saw a show that seemed quite similar to this a few years ago, and truly enjoyed it. I hope that this one is as good!)

Masterpiece Mystery! 2010 Summer Line Up…

I just went on the PBS television station website and found these dates for the following Masterpiece Mystery! television shows. Mark your calendars! BUT, I would also suggest that you search your local television stations to see if they are going to follow this schedule, or not. I know that in the past, my local San Antonio station has done their solicitation shows during the national line-up times.

Debbie Macomber's Mrs. Miracle… Not a Mystery Book, but Definitely a Holiday Movie

OK, OK! I know that Debbie Macomber isn’t a mystery book author. But I also know that there are several people who read the Cozy Mystery Site who are avid Debbie Macomber fans. So  for those of you Debbie Macomber fans>>> I want to tell you about the Debbie Macomber’s Mrs. Miracle movie, which the Hallmark network will be showing.

Debbie Macomber’s Mrs. Miracle will premier this Saturday (December 5) at 8:00, and then air “in a row” or “back to back” for the next six hours. That is to say that the Hallmark channel will be showing it at 8:00, 10:00, and then again at midnight. It will also air on Sunday during the Hallmark channel’s 8:00 movie line-up time. (All times are in the evening.)

I know this because I am one of the few people who own a Replay DVR machine (which I absolutely love!!! AND which UNFORTUNATELY they are no longer selling.) But because I have one of the few Replays out there, I can look through different television channel line-ups quite easily. (The Replay is to the Tivo what Betamax was to the VHS machine, or the 8-track tapes were to cassettes. One of them had to fail…)

Anyway, I have not seen the movie, nor have I read the novel, so I cannot vouch it. But, I can say that the wonderful Doris Roberts is in it, and it looks like a “feel good” holiday movie… I will definitely be DVR-ing it…. on my Replay!
