Cold Case Closed


Thank heaven. This really was one of the worst shows that pretended to be good. The flashback scenes were atrocious. Every time I happened by it, it felt like a syndicated show from the nineties. What show that wants to succeed runs on Sunday afternoons? And if it does run on Sunday afternoons, don't throw in a minute and a half of character development along with 28 minutes of overconfident detectives badgering suspects. The only tip off the show isn't 10 years old is the music. Not the pacing, not the writing, not the subject matter, not the characterization. I bumped into an editor from the show at a friend's xmas shindig in Pasadena and he said the show would never be syndicated. The music costs too much. Can't think of any redeeming qualities about this show. Just a gigantic waste of time and money. Probably doesn't help that the female lead looks like a psycho I once dated. Can I ask the network for an hour of my life back for the two times my wife turned the tv to this show?
