rizzoli&isles

Rizzoli & Isles Season Three Premieres on June 5th! Yay! From the very first episode, I was hooked on Rizzoli & Isles. Best friends and partners in crime Jane and Maura couldn't be more different, yet couldn't be more alike. One of my favorite episodes from Season Two was 'Seventeen Ain't So Sweet'. Jane heads to her high school reunion and brings along Maura, for moral support. The fun is cut short after a series of murders take place all involving fellow students. Jane is forced to focus on the past to help solve the case when she realizes that everyone in her class is a potential suspect. She learns that some of her high school friends aren't quite what they appear to … [Read more...]

What Made One Tree Hill Season Nine Such A Success?

oth

I think One Tree Hill was successful in part, because we could relate to the characters in many ways. Season Nine presented a load of new challenges for One Tree Hill characters. Brooke & Julian dealt with being new parents, Haley tried to find Nathan who was kidnapped, and Clay found himself sleepwalking and forgetting periods of time. Like the characters of One Tree Hill, we have all faced challenges and have found ways to overcome them or make the best of a tough situation. After becoming ill a few years ago, I had to make a lot of changes in my life and learn to accept some things that I could not change. Leaving a great career and active lifestyle behind wasn't easy, but I … [Read more...]
