Needed better writers, not a cast change, 19 December 2007
Author: cewtv from CA

I enjoyed watching this show as I've enjoyed Jennifer Finnigan in other things she's done, especially those few appearances on another fave, Dead Zone, but was not happy with the cast change and the disappearance of Christian Kane as Jack Chase and the introduction of David James Elliott (of JAG fame) as the new character, ADA Jimmy Conlon. It changed the whole flavor and atmosphere of the show, and I must admit, I watched it less the second season than I did the first. It's CBS's loss.

I hope Jennifer gets a show which is written well enough for her to show what she can do, and does many more guest appearances on Dead Zone, that is, if USA ever figures out how to market a hit show.

And I hope David James Elliott gets his own show, with him as the lead, not added to someone else's show as an attempt to make up for lame plots.
