Some of the best writing and acting on TV
We own all the seasons of "The Closer" on DVD. In fact, we own them in the most expensive possible way, because we buy the individual episodes on iTunes so we can watch them on the computer while we're waiting for the DVD to come out. A frequent scene in our household: my wife and I are thumbing through a deck of Netflix, and we will say, "Oh, let's just watch a Brenda." I will suggest an episode. She will say, "Is that the one where ..." (and here she describes the entire plot). I reply, "Yes, where ..." (and here I add some plot details). "Okay." Then we watch the episode again and throughly enjoy it.

I've been told, in some English class long ago, that the mark of a "classic" is that you can read it over and over and still get something new out it of each time. There is only one other TV show ("Monk") that I've ever enjoyed watching repeatedly like that, and the reason is the same: the writing, acting, and directing are superb.

I don't know how they keep it fresh!!!
Usually by the fifth season a show is getting a little stale, but in truth The Closer is still just as fresh and surprising as the first season! I congratulate the writers!

It's here we are WATCHING it....
Here we go again.....these gems are released and we watch marathon fashion over a few days until all are consumed and we are going...what happened..no we can't wait another year until the next.....sniffles. Meantime we are so having fun....can't do a spoiler cause of course we are only through disk 1. On to disk two now and no I won't tattle or say anything....suprised at what wasn't addressed such as much to do about Fritz and the Chiefs after wedding or honeymoon time...wasn't even addressed. Just jumped right back into the same fun show without missing a beat.

Oh gotta go....the next disk is in place...and on hold till I get down there....later and enjoy! PS we don't have paid TV up here so depend on the DVD sets
but think perhaps this is the way to go. Even if someday we actually are forced to buy TV via Cable or Satelite......love the series...as good neighbors we all share them.....in fact that reminds me....our neighbors still has the last Prison Break...
