FBI Dramas

Anytime a new crime drama comes along on HBO, it raises a few eyebrows, as HBO is known for airing high-quality original programming. David Milch (NYPD Blue, Deadwood) has created a new crime drama series called Last of The Ninth, which features the story of rampant NYPD corruption in the 1970s.
Was the NYPD corrupt then? It’s been said there’s truth to every story, and the series pilot has been co-written by Bill Clark, a former New York Homicide Detective. A healthy look back at how Vietnam vets saw things in the 1970s with a bit of crime drama to …read more

In December I talked about Imagine TV/Brian Grazer’s project with Fox, The FBI. The latest news from Hollywood Reporter is not so good, as Fox has passed up this project.  Now, CBS and TNT are both interested in this new FBI drama, as it’s being shopped around to other networks. Fox paid a penalty by passing up this series, so it makes you wonder what went wrong.
What this means for us is a bit of a wait until one of these networks makes a decision. How …read more

Crime 360, A&E’s latest new investigative series airs again this week, on Thursday March 13, at 10:00 PM. One question in my mind in the beginning was how this marriage of good-old fashioned police work and computer-enhanced investigation would mix. After seeing the series premier, I was impressed with how quickly the support personnel collected the data from the scene that was later to be used for digitally reconstructing the crime. Overall, the show gives a sense of a crime unlike anything else on TV.
The detective in charge, Shane Wait, seemed a bit overwhelmed in the beginning, particularly …read more

I’m an immense fan of FBI and crime drama, and at the same time, it scares me, but only for the children. For many parents, it’s not so much what your child watches, but who they watch it with. We talked a while back about shows that teens should watch, and those ideas still stand. For adults, it’s good fun, but it never hurts to shine a careful light every now and then.
Kids and teens of this generation are part of a unique group. They are growing up at a time in which the Internet and media are …read more

If you have a gift, its been given so you can share it. Can an Emmy award winning and Golden Globe nominated actor find his way back to us? Mandy Patinkin recently used his golden voice to get back into performing a one-man show in L.A., but when will he return to television?
Being a fan of Criminal Minds brought some real angst when the actor left the show. The reported reason was due to creative differences, and we can respect those. In spite of this, the plot really stood up to the change, and is better for it since …read more
