I don&#8217;t know how I missed them, other than for the mere fact that they weren&#8217;t on any of the three major networks and, because\u00a0I record everything I watch&gt;&gt;&gt; so that I can skip through the advertisements.<\/p>\n<p>I accidentally taped <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B000ENC6QY\/?&amp;tag=httpwwwmarkes-20\">The Closer<\/a> one night&#8230; and after the first fifteen minutes, I was hooked! Unfortunately, I caught it during a time when the network (TNT) was playing the shows as sort of filler, since they were all repeats, so I was unable to get the shows in their correct order. Which, of course meant that I either had to rent the shows (from the beginning of the series) or buy them.<\/p>\n<p>I like this show so much, that I have given our DVDs to our daughter (22 years old) and she likes them as much as I do. I wonder if it&#8217;s because the lead detective is a strong-willed, opinionated woman who has the courage to appear without makeup (anyways that&#8217;s what it looks like to us) when the shows call for it, OR if it&#8217;s because all of the characters are\u00a0well-developed, three-dimensional &#8220;people,&#8221; OR if it&#8217;s because the writing is phenomenal, OR because, it&#8217;s simply one of the best shows on television!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, if you have a favorite show that you would like to share with some of us cozy mystery readers&gt;&gt;&gt; please feel free to write about it in a comment, or write me a letter via the website. If you all are anything like I am: tired of the writers&#8217; strike, tired of tired shows, tired of the umpteenth season of the same shows, tired of the different shows that are actually the same show set in different cities&gt;&gt;&gt; Then let&#8217;s share some ideas of really good shows!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a few favorite shows on television which I missed when they\u00a0first aired.
