By Deborah Lacy

November 24, 2014

Major Crimes returns to TNT Monday nights at 9:00 p.m. EST for its winter season of nine episodes.

By Deborah Lacy

September 5, 2012

Back to school means the return of many of our favorite TV shows.  Major Crimes, Copper, and Grimm have already started, and we’ll have to wait until 2013 for BBC’s Sherlock, but plenty more premieres await in the golden months ahead.

You give her that stink-eye, Provenza.

Major Crimes: “Before and After”

By Deborah Lacy

August 21, 2012

Oh, what a difference a week makes. I liked this episode so much more than the premiere last week. Major Crimes’ second episode begins in the personal training gym of an exercise guru and “wellness partner” who helps women get in shape and lose weight. His bloody body is still hanging upside down from workout…

Crime fighters range from the absolutely well-dressed to those who can’t even manage to get the crumbs off their shirts. Can you imagine Magnum without his Hawaiian shirts or Columbo without his trench coat? Clothes make the detective, or help turn an ordinary character into an icon.  Below you’ll find the Crime Fighter Fashion Awards,…
