I first started watching The Closer after receiving an invitation to a Johnson family reunion. It was a fantastic marketing ploy by the network to bring attention to the show. Three other people in my family got the same letter on the same day. I wonder how many Johnson's started watching the show after getting it. Kyra Sedgwick plays Deputy Chief Brenda Lee Johnson on this crime drama. (hence the reunion) It is well scripted and produced. The acting is top notch.
Saving Grace has a much harder edge. Holly Hunter plays a police detective. She drinks, swears, smokes, sleeps around and sees angel named Earl. She has conversations with the angel when he shows up. It is an outstanding show and is moving along nicely as it enters it's second season. It seems Earl is pretty busy tying the lives of several of his earthly contact together. It will be interesting to see how this all comes together.
