Anyone watch The Closer this week? Brenda's parents continue to be entertaining, but I have no idea how Fritz puts up with everything. At least some of her secrets came out, which will be interesting to see play out with the team.

It'll be interesting to see if Pope starts treating her differently.

Finally watched Saving Grace: you know until that ONE SCENE I had never noticed all the mirrors. And it was creepy.

Who plays Henry? He seems so familiar.

And Saving Grace has been picked up so there will be a second season.

The Closer: I love how Fritz and Brenda's dad have, like identical expressions when they react to some of the Brenda and Brenda's mom craxiness.

Given the previews for next week, it seems he would have no room to talk.

I bet there's an unshot scene where her dad takes Fritz aside and tries to explain the women to him.

I don't think we were supposed to be shocked that Grace slept with that guy, that's how she deals with things emotionally.

One thing that struck me on the way to work is that Grace is a lot like Tommy on Rescue Me, which I haven't watched since the first season so bear with me. Tommy is a firefighter with a cop and a preist for brothers. Grace is a cop with a firefighter and a priest for brothers (and presumably more didn't she say she had 4 brothers and 1 living sister?), both drink too much, both are still dealing with the emotional aftermath of terrorist attacks. Both lost relatives in the attacks. Both see visions -- well Tommy sees Dead People and Grace sees an Angel.

It doesn't track exactly but she's a lot closer to being like Tommy than she is like any female character on tv.

askye, I agree. In fact, I was just thinking of that last night: they both are dealing with the two biggest terrorist attacks on US soil and how different is it in the middle of the country than in NYC?

Huh. I don't watch Rescue Me, so I never realized the two shows were so similar.

sumi, thanks for the info on renewal.

Who plays Henry? He seems so familiar.

I know! He seems to play nebbishes a lot, but I can never remember his name.

According to IMDB, the actor is Mark L. Taylor, and it looks like he is one of those actors who has been in just about everything.

I loved Saving Grace this week, but I haven't seen The Closer yet. I'm really interested to see how they are going to wrap up the season of The Closer. Last season's finale was so big; I'm wondering if they can top it.

Yeah, I thought it sounded like "Rescue Me" with tits, askye. But I haven't seen "Grace" yet. It must be up against...someting I never miss."Countdown"...maybe?

I saw maybe 3 eps of "Grace" and I bailed. I think the "mysteries" are eh and while I like Holly Hunter, I don't like Grace. So I'm out.
