TNT SUCKS. ALL THEY SHOW ARE THE SAME CASTLE MIX IT UP A LITTLE BIT

They don’t make a mistake and take it off. I have
been waiting for it to come back on.
Love everything about this show. Is nice to have some light banter in cop shows.
itsthe best womens tv series out there and would rather watch it then housewifes or any other show , i was upset when womens muder club was canneled i loved them both and would watch both of them please never canncel this show i record all epicodes.
thanks , ashow watcher !
mindy from oklahoma
my neighbor also watches it
Omg you mean I missed R&I on the fourth, I am highly upset, the best show on television, oh and SVU, S.V. U.
One of my favorites.
Love the show. Love to know when it will be shown in Australia again
Love the show!! Hope it renews! Can’t wait for more episodes!!
Outstanding cast and show….. Renew,renew,renew….please…
I even bought the DVD’s. So few shows are this entertaining and well done.
I love this show.. please do not cancel it… I am tired of everything I watch being cancelled.. restore my faith in tv please
[…] date, season three of Rizzoli & Isles has averaged a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.43 million total […]
One of the best three shows on TV. The cast, the story line, outstanding. I love, love, love this show.
My other two favorites are Suits and Common Law.
Love the cast – all are very good. But if you look at the numbers versus the about of “soap” in the show, more soap gets lower ratings.
So – lose the soap and go back to being a drama. The TNT “We know drama” tag doesn’t fit the last few shows – they are pure soap with a little cop drama thrown in, and I just go away.
I keep getting the feeling that the writers are either too lazy to write a good cop show, or just plain incompetent.
I don’t think “Rizzoli and Isles” is a bad show, and I like the actresses but I just never really care to see it. With the exception of women being the lead characters, it just seems like other cop shows. “Southland”, “Common Law” and “Law and Order: SVU” are the 3 best cop shows around right now. Maybe “Criminal Minds” also.
I swear on heaven on earth if they cancel this show, I am throwing my tv out the window.
