Numb3rs: Prime Suspect (2005)
Neil Patrick Harris is just wonderful!!!
This show is wonderful and dramatic. Having watched this and other shows (like Burn Notice, NCIS and its spinoffs, Rizzoli & Isles, etc.) I know that they are exactly what they are, just shows, nothing more. They aren't supposed to reflect real life or be factually accurate, they are meant to entertain us, the viewer (and of course make money for the networks and producers and creators). Nothing more, just entertain us, provide us with about 42 minutes of escape from reality. I call it escapism art (watching TV, seeing a movie, reading a book). Another reviewer is so very, very negative and, it appears to me IMO, homophobic (just like another reviewer implied). I know, I could just not read their comments (just like they could stop watching the shows they continually disparage) but it gives me a small amount of satisfaction to click on the thumbs down button for all of their reviews.
Major Crimes: Wish You Were Here (2015)
STOP WHINING about Rusty
Soooooo many negative and nasty things get said here about Rusty. He's an integral part of of the show, he is a member of the family that IS the show. Yeah, we all watch to see the case of the week but the reason this or any other crime solving procedural works, and truly keep us coming back, is the way the characters are a family. Of course Rusty was brought on to soften and humanize Sharon and that was a good thing. He did that and more by eventually bonding with the rest of the characters and now we have a family we can all look forward to seeing (albeit for me on the DVD box set). And I'd bet money that during the actual airing of this show that a great many viewers told the network that they not only liked Rusty but wanted to see more of him which is why he kept getting more and more screen time.
If I'd have watched this show when it was on I'd have commented right here to those Rusty haters to please just stop watching if it bothered you so much. This whole show, as well as its predecessor The Closer, are absolutely great and I wouldn't have asked for a single change.
