What do you think? Do you like the Major Crimes series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Rusty’s sexual orientation isn’t why I am kicking this show to the curb. I can’t stand him or Sharon. The acting is so pathetic and so are the story lines. So many good actors and the writers put them in the middle of every plot. Why? I’m bolting.
The actress that plays capt random is a real dud regardless of past nominations. She’s goes from bland and unemotional to over exaggeration.
Totally agree. She is emotionless in voice and facial expression. She should have left out the Botox and taken voice lessons.
sorry guys-w/o the old dynamic no go
bar none this is one of the best shows, real life situations, all the actors are great and
it never ever fails to entertain me. Fritz should stop in more! all the characters are so believable!
My husband and I have loved this show for a long time and would notice it. However, we are done! Last episode we watched Rusty was encouraged about asking a boy out. This is not something we want to be a part of and discontinue watching. We are very sad. Anne Baker
Interesting story lines and a good strong list of characters. One of my favorite series.
The show is great! Interesting storylines of America real life without being so disturbing that it is hard to watch. The characters are all interesting, which makes me want to see what happens to them each week.
We love Rusty and his story line! He adds a lot of interest to the show. The personal aspect is essential – the viewer learns about and cares about the characters. Otherwise it’s just a police report!
why make rusty gay, it’s a distraction.
I like this show! The writing is tight and the characters have real-life events occurring around their daily work schedules. Keep this show on!
Im so tired of Rusty Ive quit watching the show. Major Crimes should be renamed “The Life and Times of Rusty.” It could be a great crime drama if they got rid of the Rusty storyline. I say cancel the show.
I AGREE!!!! How much LONGER do we have to put up with the Philip Stroh case? They need to bring that storyline to a close! And YES—-PLEASE send Rusty off to College!!!!ENOUGH with his whining and complaining like a 2 yr. old! Bring him back on holidays and that’s it!!!! These writers are the reason the show is losing viewers! They don’t know when enough is enough(Rusty)!! Hopefully the show will continue with better stories(without Rusty) and we can get back to the OLD Major Crimes the way it was supposed to be! Also—bring back Jon Tenney(Fritz) more often and… Read more »
I totally agree with the Philip Stroh being to much, let it go–Who didn’t know how it was going to end with him dropping that pen, the judge couldn’t have been that stupid–please. The Rusty line is OK with me just don’t let it dominate the show
I like the show, not feeling that they are hooking Sharon with Andy. I feel that Flynn and Provenza episodes were annual comedic episodes that feature the antics of these two.. Now I feel it is all about Rusty and their personal lives and not about the crimes. The closer was a little bit of both. Not feeling it anymore. I am glad that this show has been renewed, but I am not liking it anymore.
Agree
I love the show. I do not care for the rusty part, but when I think about it he is the drama replacement for Brenda lee. It would be great if he did go away to school, but they would have to have some other drama to fill in. It seems this show like the one it replaced, the closer, has two lines the main theme of the show and a side drama of one character and they chose rusty. They could have some drama over Raydor’s husband but that wouldn’t last long enough. Beranger is another loser he is… Read more »
I Agree with Jimbo! “The Closer” was a fantastic show with a great mix of characters in the cast. Since Brenda Lee departed and it became “Major Crimes, not even a wonderful cast could stop the writers from bringing in a wimpy gay street hustler and ruining the show. I don’t mind him being gay but he has become the show’s focus. I really can’t believe that anyone cares about Rusty or his “Perils of Pauline life”. Thank God that someone in his infinite wisdom decided to pull the plug.
What do you mean by “pull the plug?”
Major Crimes has already been renewed for S4. It will premiere in June 2015.
I want Brenda back. Pay her more money or something. Mary McDonnell is so hard to watch and the story line with Rusty isn’t only dreadfully boring but he already has Donald Trump hair. I will miss the rest of the wonderful cast but not those two.
The show isn’t nearly as good as The Closer. The two characters that ruin it for me are Rusty and Buzz. Rusty is way to old and looks to old to play a high school grad. He’s loosing his hair for goodness sakes. I’m done with Rusty. Enough is enough! Buzz’ acting skills do not exist. He’s corny and intolerable. Why did they give him lines? He shouldn’t speak. He hasn’t improved his craft. I love the other actors but these two do not contribute to a the star cast.
Send Rusty to college quick. He’s a distracting,annoying wimp. What’s his problem? He’s taking away from the talent of all the rest of the cast. He seems to be a coddled,intrusion on the crew. The show doesn’t need him,he sends us to our snack bar when he shows up.
I really like major crimes please keep it on TV.
You posted my identical thoughts. Bring back Brenda for all our sake.
