Thomas Crown

A bit behind everyone else in responding but this is fantastic news. Such a fun show and really different than the usual standard sitcoms that we've been seeing on TV the last few decades.

Please don't 😀 For a 10 p.m. show the Rookie has been surprisingly not too graphic IMO when it comes to showing gratuitous violence. The neighbor has to be a red herring right? It can't be that obvious .... come on writers! Even though I'm enjoying this season more than last, the writers sure do have challenges planning out their story lines and arcs. A multiple episode arc and the writers just now introducing the killer? I guess I'm in the minority on this forum but I'm actually enjoying all the Chenford bickering leading to eventual hookup.

Good call by those in charge. Any risk is too much risk and there really is no need to have real guns on set. I really don't think it will make too much difference for the viewing audience if the scenes are played out with fake guns.

Same here. The writers could still have him turn out to be guilty of murder which would be a nice twist for me.

Looks like Chen has been stealing baby Jackson's little boots and hiding them in Tim's locker.

Really strong premiere IMO despite the silly premise that they could storm a compound in a foreign country. Bradford continues to be my favorite character. Did anyone notice the picture of the dog he adopted next to his bed? Oh, bring on the Bradford and Chen romance! Took a while but I'm okay with it since the show seems to be going in that direction. I guess there was a lot of things happening behind the scenes involving the actor playing Jackson. Not sure we'll get the true story. He couldn't even come back for the first episode. His death was brutal and senseless.

Revisiting this show is such a great time capsule to all those 80's cop shows that I grew up with and Hunter holds up really well IMO. Obviously it doesn't have the visual appeal/style that a show like Miami Vice had in the 80s with it use of vibrant colors but it's still fun to watch for the 80's throwback. Despite watching the show religiously back in the 80s, I have little recollection of any of the episodes so it's like watching the show for the first time. I've been sampling episodes from the early seasons based on the episode titles only. I don't see myself having the time to rewatch all 7 seasons so I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations they would like to share of their favorite episodes that they would recommend from any season? I unfortunately procrastinated and did not order the German DVD sets with original music. Looks like that set is now OOO. Instead I have the Region 1 DVDs with music substitutions.

So true. Also, the action scenes in Guatemala look like they recycled some sets from an old A-team episode. Soldiers of fortune living in the Los Angeles underground on a dangerous mission they are not. Still it looks like a fun intense season premiere. Speculation based on an important cast member not in the Promo

Wow. To come back after 40 years with this kind of quality is truly amazing. It's like they never left. Those 2 songs hit all the right emotional beats for me. Abba doesn't need the money or the fame with this new album. They just came back for the love of music and for their fans. What a beautiful gift to the fans.

Promo is up for the season premiere which is only 3 weeks away. Lots of interesting speculation based on that promo. Episode is titled "Life and Death". Season 4 Promo

Yikes. Not the best lead in for the Rookie come this fall.

This show is very Castle-ish in how the big season ending cliffhanger gets resolved pretty quickly on the following season premiere so that they can go back to their weekly episodic stories. I expect that too with season 4, which is good because I don't want to watch a storyline involving a pregnancy in danger or a pregnant character being threatened. This show has been pretty good in depicting not too much graphic violence. Let Angela have her baby in peace. I'm actually surprised they wrapped up (for now) the Lucy undercover plot. I was expecting the summer hiatus to reflect the several months that Lucy was undercover and the season premiere would then pick up the storyline with Lucy still undercover and with potentially having developed a drug habit a la Tim's ex-wife. Lucy was rocking the green dress and the red lipstick. Wow indeed Femmefan1946. I can see why Tim was checking Lucy out. Melissa O'Neil is seriously attractive. So is the rest of the cast btw. I'm loving all the posts involving concern for Smitty! The character just grows on you. So Nolan will begin season 4 still a Rookie if the premiere picks up right after the non-wedding ....

Thank you ABC for the renewal. But I'm still mad about you cancelling "Forever" and "Whisky Cavalier" but this renewal helps 😜. Honestly, I could easily see the Rookie going into a 5th season the way the ratings have been consistent for 2 years now since moving to Sunday nights. The ratings on Sunday night for the key demo are very good overall considering the time slot.

Her cover will be blown a few days into the UC mission on the following Sunday night when the members of the drug cartel she infiltrated all sit down to watch American Idol. They like to unwind on Sunday nights by catching their favorite show after a long hard week. Despite the betrayal of having a cop hiding in their inner circle, they'll equally be disappointed that Lucy never went on to compete at Hollywood Week on American Idol. Lucy got talent.

They sure like to do tease the Bradford and Chen shippers but I think they'll pull the trigger for them in season 4. Think of the wedding dance as an appetizer of what's to come next season 😀

TIm: Lucy it's the last dance of the night. I've been waiting all night for this moment. Will you dance with me? Lucy: I would love to Tim. They move closer to each other, waiting for the moment the slow music starts. Their eyes remained locked as Tim gently puts his hand behind Lucy's back and moves her closer to him. Tim smiles as Lucy moves in even closer ... Then DJ Smitty plays YMCA by the Village People. * Chenford army throw bricks at the TV *

Decent episode with some interesting points covered although I still can't stand Rick Wilson even if he bashes Trump and gives props to Biden. I would have preferred the discussion on population growth had been brought up at the beginning of the panel so that more time could have been allocated to it. I'm on the side that even without increasing the population on the planet, we are still facing some serious crisis over the next few decades just from the damage we've already done to the eco system along with the increasing rate that we are using up so much of the world's natural resources. IMO, some of the crisis that were are facing on this planet are increasing at an exponential rate that is not mirroring the rate growth of population. I wouldn't mind if Bill decided to revisit this issue in the futur. The interview with John McWhorter was also good. At one point during their discussion of twitter, wokeness and a trend of thinking that things could never had been worse in the past because they weren't alive back in the day, Bill countered that he knew about the French Revolution despite not being alive at the time. He referenced guests on his show saying this phrase of "not being alive at the time". Made me think of this segment from many years ago on his show.

Great news. I'm going to celebrate with a bowl of corn flakes.

The back end of season 3 has been really strong IMO. Another great episode last night. Bring on season 4.

that episode of Magnum is airing again tonight for those that want to see her MMA skills. I really hope they bring her back and keep Tim as her TO.

Very good episode last night but as usual I find the Nolan stories the least entertaining for me. Bradford continues to my favorite character by far and I hope they continue to give him more interesting storylines. As others have mentioned, I really hope they bring back Barnes and keep her with Bradford. Knowing the actress has some serious real life fighting skills, I would expect the writers to incorporate that into the show at one point. Boo to Badger being fired so quickly. A missed the opportunity for a Smitty & Badger team-up. Come on writers ... gold 😀

I've been taking my time, but since last fall I've been watching the show for the first time since it aired on ABC. I'm currently midway through season 3 and damn this show is still hilarious. I recently watched the one with the Remington Steele Cameo. Yes the fashion is so 80s, but the screwball comedy aspect still works for me and could easily work today IMO. So many great one liners and they show really took some great creative chances in those first 3 seasons. I'm one of those that lost interest due to the constant repeats (and not because the characters hooked up) so I don't think I ever saw any episodes in season 4 or 5. I know everyone says that show fell completely off a cliff into a big fireball for those last 2 seasons but I'm still going to watch if only because there were so few episodes 🙂

I believe that it was the show runner who said that he wasn't planning on putting them together in an article last summer. IMO reading between the lines I took it as he was saying that Tim's character would never cross the line since he was her training officer. Now that Tim is no longer her TO, who knows what the show runner has in mind. Not that I'm shipper, but I do think the actors have pretty good chemistry so I don't mind if they go the relationship route for these two especially if they can make an interesting story out of it. I thought Lucy's fake out with Tim was pretty hilarious especially watching Tim squirm as he was not expecting that.

When you say Smitty gets reassigned, I hope you mean he gets reassigned to Chicago where he teams up with a Canadian Mountie and his pet wolf. Together all 3 help solve crimes in Chicago. I'm totally down for a Smitty spinoff. 😀 Seriously though I really enjoyed last night's episode. One of the better ones in a long-time for me despite most of the scenes being inside the police cruisers. And I'm with Shapeshifter, I believe that Bradford and Chen will continue to be in each other's orbit leading to an eventual romance.

Welcome back show. As other have said, I missed you too 🙂 Hopefully this will be a positive trend of covering topics happening in the world that don't involve the former president. While I enjoyed the discussion, honestly I felt a bit underwhelmed by last night's episode because there is so much to be covered by a discussion on a Pandemic and for me certain areas were simply not addressed or was simply glossed over by the show. For instance, my belief is that over population on this planet is a huge threat and a contributing factor for the next pandemic. I don't see how this planet can continue with the current population growth along with the over consumption of natural resources without seeing a rise in more pandemics with equally devastating effects. This was barely addressed by the show last night other than the talking about disappearing green spaces and explosion in the population of rodents that can pass along the virus. What also wasn't covered last night is the potential economic devastation from this current pandemic and how it will be felt for long time. We currently have gov'ts around the world printing masses amount of debt to help keep economies moving and not collapsing. But we are still looking at potentially a massive economic collapse when we come out of it from all this debt and jobs lost. If it doesn't t happen this time, what happens the next time we face another pandemic that shuts down the planet? Sorry to be an alarmist on this but I think it needs to be discussed. I like that the show highlighted that yes we should be extremely concerned with wet markets, but we should also be looking at our own backyards and how they too might contribute to the next pandemic.
