  1. It was a season finale, not the end of the show. Press release from Global: January 31, 2024 – ... Global announced that hit Canadian legal drama Family Law has been greenlit for a fourth season with 10 all-new episodes. Produced by SEVEN24 Films and Lark Productions, and created by Canadian award-winning author Susin Nielsen, Season 4 starts production in Vancouver this March.
  2. With all the cliff hangers, I'm glad to read that Season 4 has begun filming, although, who knows when it will be available in the U.S.
  3. Explain to me why Bode was arrested for bringing a lost girl back to the barracks. And after the girl's mother thanked him, he was still handcuffed and taken into custody? He didn't go off with her into the woods with her to look for the grandfather, he brought her to the authorities. Then he helped the girl give information that led to the successful rescue of the grandfather. How is this criminal activity?
  4. Sadly, librarians are one of the first positions to go when schools have financial problems.
  5. I don't think the cancellation has made the show bolder, as possibilities suggests. I think between the writers strike and the cancellation and the plan to limit the number of episodes supporting cast would be in, producers couldn't figure out how to handle the final season as they'd originally planned.
  6. Countdown on how many episodes before Gabrielle ditches Diego for puppy eyes Bode. I hope it is well before the wedding, although I suspect the writers think the latter would be more dramatic. Or else have him die while fighting a fire.
  7. So Sharon's husband didn't visit her for the six months she was away? Because Bode needed him? For six months? Explain to me how that makes sense. I have no doubt that Gabrielle and poor, sad, heroic Bode are the writers end game. Either she decides that Bode is her true love or even if she winds up marrying her fiance, he'll die in a horrible accident at a fire, freeing her to get back with Bode. Bode just now figured out that there is a section of the Penal Code that a prisoner may have his sentence reduced by performing a heroic act in a life-threatening situation? He was performing heroic acts once a week last year and the Department of Corrections didn't see fit to consider that code section. He was going into burning buildings. Jumping off bridges into raging rivers. Running into more burning buildings. Carrying unconscious victims miles to safety. Did I mention carrying unconscious victims out of burning buildings?
  8. It was good to see the extended supporting cast, like Gloria, Bob's mother and MIL, the aunt and uncle. Is Abishola still going away to medical school?
  9. As freeser wrote: I was surprised and disappointed that Gibbs didn't put in a brief appearance This was a lovely episode, but it was really inexcusable that Mark Harmon's Gibbs didn't make an appearance. Gibbs was certainly closer to Ducky than Tony, who made the effort to fly in from Europe.
  10. Where was Sharon all this time? Okay, she didn't want to communicate with Bode, but did she see her husband at all? Or talk to him on the phone or via email? She seemed surprised to find out Jake had been promoted. Didn't anyone talk to her about what was going on while she was away?
  11. Agreed. He could send the assistants away permanently and it would be even more enjoyable.
  12. With only two more episodes, the various storylines are beginning to come to a resolution, so all the questions we have - e.g., what was going on at the convent? what are the artist and his mother involved in? - are beginning to get resolved, so as the plot thickens, things also start to make sense. The scene where Gabrielle and the others shot her husband was wonderfully noir.
  13. I know it's not part of the format of L&O to go into the jury room or discuss jury deliberations - other on those rare occasions when a defendant tampers with a juror - but it would be interesting to see why they came up with this decision. If the advisor was up against a murder charge, they wouldn't have had to poll the jury, because doesn't a murder conviction have to be unanimous?
  14. Yes, the "Aiden isn't good enough for Abbey," he's "too young" and for goodness sakes, he's not a lawyer seems like a nice set up not only to tick off the new judge because Abby has no impulse control in her response, but now to set up Abby with the lawyer she got to take on the fraud case. Abby is the least likeable character on this show and that isn't easy for me to say, with her father and her brother and her ex-husband all close seconds.
  15. Another thing that I miss in most of the recent episodes is the DNA breakdown at the end of the show. It's flashed in a tiny shot at the end, but too small to make out. As has been mentioned by others, I'd love to know when a guest has followed up and contacted relatives that hadn't known about. I recall we've learned when this was done a few times in the past. Did Valerie, for example, contact her half-relatives?
  16. While I loved the job they did with the In Memorium, I think the "tribute" to the 75 years of the Emmys (or was it just TV) was badly handled. The clips were too short, not enough programs were mentioned, and they didn't identify the programs as they whipped through. And maybe less jarring juxtapositions between clips, like going from Lucy is having a baby to suddenly planes flying into the Twin Towers.
  17. Exactly what I was about to post. This is the most well done In Memoriam I can remember. When they cut away to the musicians, they stopped showing the deceased, then stopped showing the musicians so you can see those who passed when they returned to the In Memorian, rather than playing over each other.
  18. Does every season end sadly? The S1 finale made us sad, too. We just started watching on PBS Passport and are loving this well made show. Not your typical cop procedural.
  19. sugarbaker design, the rest of season 3 will begin, I believe, in January. I enjoyed seeing the cast from last season in this (Agatha Christie-like) closed room mystery. For me, the relationship among the characters is more fun in this show than figuring out who dun it.
  20. Zephyr Wright was a real person, although Alice is not. She was a long-time cook for the Johnsons and did have an influence on his positions on civil rights. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zephyr_Wright
  21. Talking about the Fire Island scenes being mostly accurate, I think the writers get the jist of the history, although those who actually lived though the times or studied them can find errors or omissions. For example, the big candlelight march showing Frankie, Jerome and Tim together was the night Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Milk were assassinated, not a few days after the White Night Riot. This was an opportunity to show those fellows together, so it wasn't a big deal in the long run, but accurate it wasn't. And I'm not so sure Marcus would have been worried about losing his job at SF State in 1978, when the City had anti-descrimination laws by then and there were a number of out gay and lesbian faculty. But that was kind of residual fear from his previous experiences.
  22. 1) Mr. Roger's show was produced by the PBS station in Pittsburgh, WQED. 2) As for Rachel Bloom being wasted, I think it was important for a known actress to play that part. It gave the viewer an extra sense that the character was a good producer and that WGBH was lucky to get her. It also showed that she did a good job, but that Julia, in truth, did not want to work for an experienced woman. Avis understood that even if Julia didn't.
  23. I found Agnes's coming to comfort Ada as more self-serving than mere comforting of her sister. Agnes assumed her sister would be grateful for her offer of help to care for the ill reverend. With her husband gone, Ada would come back to live with Agnes. It all works out for Agnes who never wanted Ada to leave her.
  24. The real life Fortune was very much married at the time. He did separate from his wife, but not until 1908, much later than when the incident at Tuskegee took place. But who knows what fictional take the storyline will follow.
