When Rizzoli & Isles last left off, Isles (Sasha Alexander) was kidnapped by an unknown assailant. Tonight’s episode at 9p on TNT picks up exactly where they left off. Now Rizzoli (Angie Harmon) and Korsak (Bruce McGill) need to find her before it is too late. Only problem, is the kidnapper didn’t leave a lot of evidence behind and every lead turns out to be a dead end. Will they rescue her in time?
Isles’ disappearance is taking their toll on everyone, especially Rizzoli who will never be the same. All of this is setting up for the show’s final episodes. Which I totally disagree with TNT about because I think the show has many more years ahead of it.
But I am getting ahead of myself. Tonight we are getting not one, but two episodes and the second one is a much lighter, happier one. When the owner of pot dispensary is killed, it is up to Rizzoli and Korsak to find his killer. They discover there is much more to his murder than meets the eye.
While investigating his murder, they need to test the pot from his store to make sure it matches some other marijuana. In the process of testing it, some of them will get really high and tell really bad jokes that only they will laugh at. Who doesn’t love to watch people get high and tell bad jokes?
So tune in for two great episodes of TNT’s best procedural. Maybe if we get the ratings up, they will reconsider their decision about ending the show.

Earlier this week TNT announced that they are rebooting Tales From the Crypt with M Night Shyamalan and the director is asking for your help. He Tweeted, “What are your favorite ‘Tales from The Crypt’ comics and episodes? Looking to adapt some and I’m ready to dig in!” So if you want to see your favorite episode from the original series redone by him, let him know.
Personally, I think this is the perfect project for him. His movies play like drawn out Twilight episodes, so I expect him to a great job with this. What do you think of him helming the Crypt?

Ever since Kevin Reilly joined the Turner family, I have not been happy with what he has done to TNT and TBS. Since joining he cancelled Dallas, Sullivan & Son, Ground Floor and now King of the Nerds.
Booger aka Curtis Armstong broke the news on Twitter by saying, “As to @KingofNerdsTBS having a future home elsewhere & whether there is anything fans can do to help, I’ll let you know when I know.” In true nerd fashion, he followed it up with, “But then again…#StarTrekTOS only got three seasons too, right? ;)” Although he did not say it, he did hint that they may shop it around to other networks.
Hopefully GSN will consider picking up because this endearing competition show. While so many other shows like this one are mean spirited, KOTN was anything but. I want to see it go on and I am really hoping it does.
Now back to Reilly, not only am I unhappy with the all the cancellations, I am not liking the direction of a lot of their dramas on TNT. I gave up Murder in the First and Last Ship after 2 episodes this season because they became so convoluted and boring. There are too many other good things on television to watch to waste time on shows that aren’t. Then there is Public Morals that put me to sleep every time I attempted to watch the pilot episode, so I just gave up trying. Finally, he gave Rizolli & Isles a shorter season and that is one of their biggest shows. But then again, it wasn’t as good this season, so a shorter one might be a good idea. Am I the only one getting ready to break up with TBS & TNT?
Angie Harmon shared a photo of herself with Chad Lowe and he looks really happy. Why? He is surrounded by a bunches of marijuana. Why? It is for something they are doing on Rizzoli & Isles. And you thought he was having fun on Pretty Little Liars, it ain’t nothing on the TNT show that airs tonight at 9p.
Ashley Tisdale has grown on up on television, but I don’t think we’ve seen her in braces. That is all going to change tonight at 10p on her TBS show Clipped. The sitcom is about lifelong friends, who all work in a barbershop together. On tonight’s episode they have their first flashback show and we get to see them as teenagers. Being a teenager means, for many of us, we go through an awkward phase. For Ashley and her co-star, Mike Castle, that means both of them got to wear braces for the week. To see what other embarrassing things happened to the Buzzy crew in high school, you will just have to tune in to find out.
If you haven’t seen Clipped, you are missing out on the funniest show on television this summer so far. There are so many clever one liners that you have to watch the episodes a few times to get them all. It truly is a (hair)cut above the rest!
