What do you think? Do you like the Major Crimes series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
have been with The Closer from day one and have all the dvds but Major Crimes is my favorite watch my dvds of season 1 and 2 also recorded season 3 episodes. Can’t get enough and Sykes and Rusty are a great addition!!! Thank you TNT just pls promote this show more
While the Closer was a great show, I like Major Crimes better. It is my fave show. 2 reasons why: 1) Mary McDonnell. Fab actress. The way she portrays Sharon Raydor is just amazing! 2) The Rusty storyline: it is a story of how a woman and a boy become mother and son. You witness their love for each other develop and grow. It is wonderful! In a way it’s a love story… a very different kind of love story but still a story about love. And every show needs a love story … or two (yep I’m thinking about… Read more »
I love Major Crimes need it to continue also want back Dallas not good how you removed it
I really enjoyed this series and hope it continues. Please continue with it! I miss it!!!
I like Major Crimes and all the characters except for Rusty. He is a sullen kid and adds nothing to the show. In fact, I record the show on my DVR and FF through scenes with Rusty.
The wishy washy relationship between Sharon & Rusty has to go!! I think this developing open life style of Rusty on this program is misplaced. I don’t need it!! Rusty needs to walk in front of a truck!!
Major Crimes is better than its earlier version, The Closer, by far!!!!
That’s your opinion and you are entitled to it. I disagree however, I watch Major Crimes and like it but still think The Closer was so much better. I LOVED it. Much more cleaver writing and funnier. Major Crimes is not using “The Guys” from The Closer to their full potential. Flynn and Prozenza were much better characters in The Closer. Miss Brenda’s parents and seeing Fritz more. Rusty as Sharon’s family life just doesn’t cut it as a replacement for Brenda’s.
Jon “Fritz” Tenney has always been a guest star on the show. He has been busy with other shows (I think he has a larger role on ABC at the moment). So unless “SOB” gets a green light (something I sadly do not see happening) we should be happy just to see him as a guest star and be happy for him that he is working as much as he is. He works behind the camera now as well. As for the rest of YVHO/POV, I do not see it. Same staff, crew and cast are involved with show and… Read more »
As I said everyone has different tastes and opinions. I know Jon has guested on Major Crimes and the episodes he’s been in this season have been some of the ones I liked best as they had more action. I even watched King and Maxwell that only lasted one season. I liked him in that but not Rebecca Romijn. I was hoping SOB would happen as my feeling is I would like it better but TNT’s focus on moving to more “edgy” content, having financial issues, and major management shakeups I doubt we’ll see it. Same staff, crew and SOME… Read more »
I see the minor Staff, Cast and Crew changes a bit differently than you. 2-3 relatively minor roles (or roles due really to the lead) gone. And the lead walking out a year before the scheduled end of show made it a bit of a scramble to get “The Closer” to end in some order and for “Major Crimes” to get put together and in operation. The Rusty plot-I once agreed with you. Yet the writing and acting has won me over a bit. I am now interested in what will happen in Jan. And what follows in Summer of… Read more »
For some reason there is no reply button on your latest comment so I’m replying on your previous comment again to your latest comment. The ratings for Major Crimes S3 are down from the The Closer S7 for the whole season and are lower for all seasons than The Closer so the Dallas fans boycott of TNT has nothing to do with the point I was making. Major Crimes is not as popular as The Closer. A few “minor” cast changes can make a difference. I’m not a fan of Skyes at all and last season that annoying ADA almost… Read more »
Totally agree with you, Duane. Major Crimes is waaaay better than The Closer, indeed. LOVE all the chacacters, love Mary McDonnell. She is the best!!!

I LOVE Major Crimes. I keep looking all over for it, hopefully I haven’t missed any episodes. Like to know when it will come back so I can end my searching. I love this just the same as The Closer.
The second half of Season 3, Episode’s 11-19, returns November 24 at 9:00pm.
Only 4 more weeks!
It has already been renewed for Season 4 which will start in June 2015.
For all of you guys who like me LOVE MAJOR CRIMES–it RETURNS on MONDAY Novmber 24th for its NEW SEASON!!!! CANNOT WAIT!!!!
Major crimes is a great series. I look forward to its return. It is the only series I follow.
Otherwise, I do not need cable.
I don’t understand why networks don’t announce that they are removing a show… they left us with a lot of unresolved issues on Major Crimes. Sure, it is (hopefully) coming back on, and soon, but why did they remove it in the first place? And with no notice? I didn’t know what was up. I hope it is coming back… one of my favorite shows, even more than the closer.
Don’t worry! It’s just on hiatus. TNT splits the season up into segments.
The summer run is from June-August for 10 episodes and they have 9 more winter episodes that run from November or December through January. (11/24 or 12/1 for the winter run for this year…not sure of the exact date as it hasn’t been announced yet.)
It has already been renwed for Season 4 for 15 episodes starting in June of 2015. Hopefully there will be an order for 4 more episodes in the spring as they have done in the past.
I have not been able to find Major Crimes on TV for the last three weeks. It was on TNT Comcast on Mondays at 8 and 9 pm. I can no longer find it anywhere.
Does anyone know what day and time it is now being broadcast? Does anyone know why it is no longer being broadcast on Comcast??
There are nine episodes left in the season and they will be aired some time in the future. TNT hasn’t said exactly when yet.
Major Crimes will be back either on 11/24 or 12/1. They haven’t announced the date yet.
This is when a DVR comes in handy. You can set it to record the entire season so you don’t miss an episode. Then you can rewatch them while waiting for the show to return.
Season 4 has already been announced and will start in June of 2015.
I look forward to Monday night at 9 pm EST to watching the show. I couldn’t imagine that I would enjoy a show more than The Closer. However, the wonderful writers have truly outdone themselves. I’ve spoken to others who feel the same. The scripts are so intense and the characters are truly entertaining.
Really enjoy Major Crimes and all the actors in it. But, please get rid of Rusty. Much too much of him. Takes away from the rest of the cast.
I love Major Crimes! It keeps getting better every season!
Great show. Should continue!
Really Really Liked the closer. But LOVE the way Major Crimes is developing. I was on the edge of my seat during the last episode. I consider that Episode GENIUS. My new favorite show is MAJOR CRIMES!!!!!!!! Hang in there!!!
