A side-splittingly hilarious episode of The Closer where all of the comedy is driven by the characters.

The Closer takes one of the most often-used storylines of TV cop shows and turns it into pure gold. While the mechanics of the case were a bit basic and a bit lame, the character aspects of the story were simply superb. The complex relationship between Brenda and Gabriel got a major going over in this one and it was a joy to watch. Flashpoint. Episode 18. "The Perfect Family" Kidnapped baby. Consistently remarkable television. The Incredible Hulk. Episode 8. "The Hulk Breaks Las Vegas"

Still, it’s usually tough to remember precisely what actors wore – unless it’s something exciting. The latest version of the TV fashion icon is a natty pink trench coat that Brenda (Kyra Sedgwick) wears on TNT’s The Closer, ending its fifth season on Monday, Aug. 24.

07.30 The Big Bang Theory 08.00 The Closer 09.00 House Amusing example of one of the show's oft-used plots: Sheldon's quirky ways annoy the others. The opening ten minutes are the best: Sheldon forces Penny into giving him a lift to work. Once he sets about learning to drive the humour is more predictable and less specific to these characters and this show. Lots of past sitcoms (Perfect Strangers and Taxi spring to mind) have shown us what happens when quirky characters learn to drive (or navigate the hallways of the DMV). The Closer. Season 4, Episode 15. "Double Blind" Brenda works a robbery/murder case on the day of her wedding. House. Season 5, Episode 15. "Unfaithful" Sick priest.

Harry O. "Such Dust as Dreams Are Made On" Mixed bag. While there are elements of greatness here, there is no real indication of the great television series that would follow and I can understand why this (first) pilot was not picked up in 1973. What makes this worth watching (and re-watching) is the central performance of David Janssen as Harry Orwell: the actor is superb and the script gives him a superb character to play with. Orwell is more world weary than any other private eye that television has given us, and Janssen ensures that this is conveyed by every word and gesture that the detective makes. He rides the bus, has a bullet lodged in him and is more of a womanizer than other TV heroes. But he's all the more real for it. The story is good but meand...

My second pick is barely a second pick, more like a tied for first pick, is Kyra Sedgwick (Brenda in The Closer). Even with the great writing and directing on the show, a lesser actress would have given us a one dimensional Brenda bordering on a cliché. Kyra Sedgwick has made Brenda so real and complex, my feelings as a viewer for her character are real and complex. The writing, directing, cast – everything about the show is award worthy, but the show was appropriately named The Closer, because in the end the show is what it is because of Kyra’s Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson. Drama Series – I’m going with Lost. I enjoy both Boston Legal and House, but last season of Lost was incredible.

As the investigation moves forward, we see glimmers of our feisty Brenda Leigh. She's pissed. We also get a great scene with the coroner. All the coroners on this show are weird, and so far this weirdo is my favorite. I so love when he tries to flirt with Gabriel, especially since he's getting more overt, and Gabriel has finally caught on and gotten uncomfortable. Then there's the sponge ... the wipes ... how many times did Gabriel wipe himself off that day?  Loved Brenda with the priest, Brenda with her squad, and what about Brenda with Pope, Taylor and the reporter ... Hi, I'm Brenda and I'm now in charge of every criminal investigation.  All shall work for me.  We go from the demise of priority homicide to the rise of this major case squad - lots of new potenti...

And aren't Fritz and Brenda a little old to be having the kid conversation? According to IMDB, Jon Tenney is 46 and Kyra Sedgwick turned 43 today, and I don't get the impressiont their characters are supposed to be significantly younger.
