Bummer! Viewers are just two days away from the December 21 fifth-season finale of The Closer, which is called “Dead Man’s Hand.”

As previously reported, the episode will feature the welcome return of guest star Mary McDonnell, who originated the role of Brenda’s on-the-job rival Captain Sharon Raydor. Continue reading to preview the finale in a few spoiler photos that feature McDonnell alongside series star Kyra Sedgwick.

Saving Grace goes nationwide during the brand-new August 4 episode appetizingly titled “Popcorn.”

Follow the jump for details and some very nice photos, especially if you’re a devoted fan of Bailey Chase’s Butch and/or Gregory Cruz’s Bobby.

TNT’s The Closer has been on a roll this season when it comes to outstanding guest stars, and the August 3 episode “Identity Theft” will only continue the trend.

Among the shining talent viewers have been treated to thus far are Battlestar Galactica alumna Mary McDonnell, who has a recurring engagement, and, just last week, Picket Fences veteran Tom Skerritt.
Now coming up on Monday is Lost, The Drew Carey Show, and Titus powerhouse Cynthia Watros. It definitely doesn’t get much better than that if you ask me, so follow the jump to sneak a peek at the actress’ appearance in a …read more

Can TNT’s latest original drama Dark Blue repeat the ratings success of its premiere episode last week? We’ll know soon after the new July 22 episode “Guns, Strippers and Wives” airs tonight.

The description is short and there’s no sneak peek, but check out episode stills after the jump.

It’s another day and another round of crises on “Healing Time,” the second episode of TNT’s new Jada Pinkett Smith medical drama HawthoRNe.
Some — okay, many — television writers are bashing the show for various reasons, the most common being that it’s not a darkly humorous, hip-aspiring clone of Showtime’s new Edie Falco medical comedy Nurse Jackie.
But why should it have to be? After viewing tonight’s (June 23) episode in advance, I’m enjoying the series more than I did during the pilot.

Lucky us. Season Five of TNT’s crime drama The Closer is just a couple of weeks away. The action launches on Monday, June 8, at 9pm ET, with the premiere episode “Products of Discovery.”
Follow the jump for spoilers and a few preview photos.

“So What’s the Purpose of a Platypus?,” the April 6th episode of Saving Grace, delivers a good-sized wallop, both literally and figuratively.
During the hour, a vicious attack on Maggie (special guest star Kathy Baker) at Louie’s interrupts her plans to marry Grace’s brother-in-law Doug (Chris Mulkey). Meanwhile, Johnny and Rhetta’s letter-writing campaign to save Leon Cooley’s life hits a snag of its own when a damaging video surfaces.
The sneak peek for the episode is available in the earlier preview post, and follow the jump for a slew of stills that reveal quite a bit about the latest developments in …read more

Preview photos for “But There’s Clay,” tonight’s brand-new episode of Saving Grace, are here.
The hour features marvelous guest star Kathy Baker, whom I’ve adored since her Picket Fences days back in the 1990s. Saying that I’m looking forward to her performance on the series is definitely an understatement. Baker will return this season to reprise her role; yet, I wouldn’t mind her hanging around as a recurring or even regular player.
But enough about what I want. Check out a sneak peek for the episode in the earlier preview post and follow the jump for those stills.

Tonight’s episode of Saving Grace called “Take Me Somewhere Earl” is currently the last one scheduled for stellar guest star Christina Ricci. And, if the sneak peek is anywhere near accurate, her character Abby Charles is going out (for now) just as I would expect: strong, independent, intriguing, and imperfect.
When the squad investigates the death of a drug dealer at an apartment complex, Ham and Butch run into Bobby, who is still undercover. Elsewhere, the cold shoulder Abby receives from her fellow officers leads Grace to dig up some information about why Abby was placed with the squad. …read more

The next new episode of Saving Grace, March 9th’s “Do You Believe in Second Chances?,” should be a fairly exciting one, if the preview photos after the jump are any indication.
In addition to showing Grace and her current partner Abby looking pretty tight, there are a couple of shots with their fellow male cops participating in some serious gunplay. I’m sure nobody gets hurt, but it’s always more dramatic when weapons are pulled and crooks get apprehended by force. All the action just makes the adrenaline flow, you know.
As mentioned in the earlier sneak peek post, the episode’s …read more
