Re: RIZZOLI & ISLES tv series and book series disscusions and comment

My son (he's 17) and I were watching TNT and a commercial for this show came on. He said it looked pretty good. I told him I thought it would be better if they were lesbians. He replied they're not, then said never mind.

So it seems their ads designed to mildly titilate work.

Ah yes, the scene with them hugging each other saying they are "BFFs"....sampled one show, no thanks....

It's a good show you ought to try it. just because two female coworkers are don't mean they have to be lesbians.

So yeah, that tweet I quoted wasn't serious or anything. Although if they were lesbians I'd be 100% more likely to watch. Can't stand police procedurals.

Just about the only non-reality/non-sitcom shows making it on TV these days are police procedurals. The only ones I have any interest in are "Castle," "The Mentalist" and "Body of Proof." You can flush the other 800!

I like the mentalist and have yet to watch castle. body of proof was great and I am looking forward to when it comes back.

Watched the first few episodes of season 1 this weekened at a friends place and wasn't impressed.. i'm not a huge fan of police shows so it's hard for me to get into one.

So.. i'll stick with Castle which has far better actors overall, is lightyears ahead in funnieness and to me is just overall better.

Have fun if this show works for you.

If someone really wants that angle, the gag reel from season 1 shows the two lead actors joking around in that vein.

Incidentally, those who like Rizzoli & Isles may want to keep an eye on Scott & Bailey, a British series starring Suranne Jones (who played Idris in Doctor Who last spring), who co-created it. From what I've seen it's similar to R&I, but with more of a Cagney & Lacey feel to it. And no, the two leads don't appear to be gay in this one either; sorry.

Pfft. These TV people don't have much of a grasp on marketing, do they?

I enjoyed last night's episode. Jaqueline Bisset did a wonderful turn as Isle's mother, but she is good in everything she does.

Re: RIZZOLI & ISLES tv series and book series disscusions and comment

she's still a hottie and they made a good choice for to be her mother.
I love this show I so need to get into the books and soon.

Re: RIZZOLI & ISLES tv series and book series disscusions and comment

I like the show as well. It's one of the few shows that I watch on a regular basis. I, too, am going to track down the books.

Re: RIZZOLI & ISLES tv series and book series disscusions and comment

For those tracking down the books, beware. Tess Gerritsen started writing romance before moving into medical thrillers and then into the medical/cop procedural arena.

The Rizzoli/Isles books are:

The Surgeon
The Apprentice (the pilot was loosely based on these two)
The Sinner
Body Double
Vanish
The Mephisto Club
The Keepsake (UK version is called Keeping the Dead)
Ice Cold (UK version is called The Killing Place)
The Silent Girl

It's not the season finale, just the summer finale. R&I will be back in November with another 5 episodes.

I'm glad we saw the return of the Surgeon, third time's a charm. And at least we know this time that he won't be coming back. Rizzoli can finally live again.
