but it hasn't stopped me from watching free television shows on TNT and TVLand. I kept telling myself I wasn't going to start watching another series - and subsequently getting hooked on it, like Leverage and Memphis Beat, but... Oh well. So I gave in and watched the pilot episode of Rizzoli & Isles last night. I've read some of Tess Gerritsen's books and I like her characters and I will have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The series writers did a good job of translating Gerritsen's work for the small screen - and it takes talent to make a serial killer seem comical. The casting is good: Angie Harmon is Jane Rizzoli - the homicide detective, Sasha Alexander is Maura Isles - the medical examiner and Bruce McGill is Jane's former and would-be-again partner who has a penchant for rescuing animals. I liked him right away - and of course, he is delightful in any role. I'll watch it again.
For free on non-network or cable TV.
