I've seen a few clips and I have to say this. I've been watching Jon Tenney ever since he was on Stargate: sg1 and he was always squeaky clean - clean shaven, wore suits, etc. but apparently in this new show he will be a little less perfect. As much as I hate that 7:00 shadow look, on him it changes my mind, on him it looks HOT . . . smokin' hot in fact !!!
I don't know what the show will turn out to be like, but I will be watching it if only to drool a little bit over him. I know I'm weird because I also find Robert Taylor of Longmire extremely hot too, my taste in men covers a whole spectrum from 0 degrees to the nth degree.

I think I might be a few years younger than you two but I concur with you (so it's not an age thing) about Jon Tenney and I think Robert Taylor is a good actor but find Lou Diamond Phillips very hot!

Oh,yeah, LDP is high on the hot o meter...I never used to think so, but he is like the other two, age has been VERY kind to him. And believe me, Lz, you are being
very tactful..."
FEW'" years? Ha!

King and Maxwell is a nice breezy show without a much gravitas to it. But this week's episode, towards the end, gave Jon Tenney an opportunity to show off his acting chops and also gave a glimpse of what this show could be.
I'm not sure that Rebecca Romjin can equal Tenney's depth in characterization or if the writers will give some of that gravitas that Tenney displayed this week to continue, but for a brief moment, it was terrific!

I failed to mention this guy earlier when we were discussing 'hot' T.V. actors. Have any of you seen Shemar Moore on Criminal Minds? Talk about hot, this guy sizzles!!!

David,
OMG, I was thinking the same thing!!!
But, Berenger is a good actor so hopefully that will help!
By the way, The Bridge just began on FX last night and it is a terrific drama set on the El Paso/Juarez border. I highly recommend it!

Lee Thompson Young, who played Jane Rizzoli's partner Barry Frost on
Rizzoli and Isles, has died. He was 29.
The show, which along with
Major Crimes and
Perception, had just been renewed last week. Young was expected to return to the show which shut down production today when the producers received word of his unexpected death.
Not sure how long production will be shut down but writers will have to figure out how to write Frost out of the show.

Rizzoli and Isles fans,
I haven't seen this week's episode yet but I understand that there is a tribute to Lee Thompson Young at the end of show.
David,
I totally agree about Burn Notice. With this the final season, I am having a hard time caring (and I have been a fan for years!). At this point, I don't care about Michael and the CIA and wonder why he would want to go back so badly to an organization that has treated him like crap for so many years.
He was way better off just enjoying his life with Fe, Sam, Jessie and his mom.
As for Major Crimes, I thought it was a competent season (I liked last season more, I think) and all of the actors (with the exception of the new DA) definitely make it worth watching (I, too, enjoyed the retirement home eppy).
The introduction of the new DA is not really working for me at all. I would be happy to see her replaced but I don't think the TV gods are going to grant me that wish. Though the Rusty storyline continues to intrigue me (plus the actor who plays Rusty really sells it).

Yikes! This guy used to be so hot. Send him to a Celebrity Biggest Loser right now. Berenger looks dissipated as well as heavy, which works OK for his character, a compulsive gambler, but still. Kyra Sedgwick had Jon Tenney, and Mary McDonnell deserves someone hotter than Berenger is now.
There's something weird about seeing an aging heartthrob and thinking, "Good grief, he isn't holding up nearly as well as I am."
Ever since Tom joined the show - I stopped watching it because Berenger looks like bum on the show. And, my interest in this show has rapidly joining the ranks of the unwatchable.

Erick: Berenger was only on for 2 or 3 episodes, he is not a regular.
Lynn: I completely agree about the new DA, in fact, in the words of Jean Hagen in Singin in the Rain, "I can't stan 'im(her).
