  • I’m confused. I thought Rizzoli and Isles was picked up for a 15 episode Season 3. This is episode 11 and it is already over? Can anyone explain please?

    • I’m pretty sure it’s the “summer” finale – the summer shows usually show ten episodes or so, go on a break and then show the final few. If you look at the episode list on imdb.com, it shows a few more episodes upcoming after tonight’s.

      • You would be correct, that was a bad edit on my part. It is RIZZOLI’s summer finale. — Management

  • I would’ve bet the house that Franklin & Bash would’ve already been renewed but with networks nowadays, who knows? I hope they do, that wacky crew cracks me up. As for Rizzoli & Isles – this might be the “summer finale” and they’ll do a short season in the fall (similar to what many of the USA shows do eg: Burn Notice, White Collar, Covert Affairs).

    • I’ve tried to watch Franklin & Bash and it just doesn’t interest me.

      • Ditto. I love Breckin Meyer, but F&B just seems like Suits Light mixed with the courtroom antics of Boston Legal. I start to watch it, get bored or disgusted and switch to something else.

    • LOL I hope you didn’t sprain anything contorting yourself there to try to turn this into a Sarah-hating discussion. People are funny.

  • I can’t believe the summer finales are here already. Seems like that flew by. Does anyone remember why Dennis left on R&I? I’m drawing a complete blank.

  • Wow, you mention Bullet to the Face on IFC and your comment gets deleted. What gives? It looks better than any of these other shows….which all look horrible.
