FBI Dramas

In spite of the success of FBI and general crime dramas, there seems to be very little love for these type shows in the 2008 Primetime Emmy Nominations lineup. I’m sure all the other nominations are highly well-deserved (such as Andromeda Strain and John Adams in “Outstanding Miniseries”).
The category for “Outstanding Actress, Drama” has the most crime drama representation. I don’t profess to know how series/films/actors are chosen for the Emmy nominations, but I do admit I’m a bit disappointed. Below are the names of the actresses up for nomination for their respected shows in this category:

Showrunner J.J. Abrams has shared some Fringe good news recently. Some critics have wondered from the beginning if it was Fox’s intention to create a new “X-Files” via Fringe. After all, FBI agents plus weird science usually reminds us of a few things!
Abrams says the plan was more to create something fans would really like to see. Executive producer Robert Orci revealed that although The X-Files series was an inspiration, he has “always wanted to do a show with geniuses solving problems“.

Without A Trace’s character FBI agent Samantha Spade (Poppy Montgomery) has made the list of TV Guide’s Top 12 Female Cops of All Time.
It’s noted that as No. 4 on the list, she is one of the top 12 because she usually solves cases for the New York Missing Person’s Bureau (“connects the dots”) even though she’s underestimated because of her looks.
Looking at the list of top cops, do you think TV Guide got it right?

Criminal Mind’s executive producer Ed Bernero has some exciting news over at Criminal Minds Fanatics. He says the next season is coming alone fantastically, and the scripts are getting “scarier”. He also brags about the crew and addresses some questions about a possible spin-off series. So, what are the odds of a successful spin-off series?

As noted in the title here, he says there is no specific plan. Fan comments seem to indicate they would definitely be up for a spin-off were it to be as good as Criminal Minds (or period). That’s what I call devotion.

Do Garcia and Agent Morgan’s greetings make you melt?

Besides Dr. Reid’s witty observations, and Agent Morgan’s biceps, there’s another signature trademark of CBS’s Criminal Minds, and that is the saucy banter between Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) and Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore). What’s really interesting is that Garcia is this sweet to everyone!

As fan’s we’re not sure why we love it so much. It could be the idea of Garcia being so chummy is a compelling and ideal friendship. It may be that some fans would love to see a “love interest” between these two. It may just be that …read more
