--It used to be that summertime was the time to watch re-runs. Yet, in recent years, cable stations and the major networks now air new shows during the summer.
Gang Related on FOX
--This is probably my favorite show this summer.
--The main character, Ryan Lopez is played by
Ramon Rodriguez. He does an amazing job at mesmerizing his audience, and he's also hot!
--The following is Rodriguez's opening line to the show and describes what the show is about:
My name is Ryan Lopez. After my parents died, the Acostas and Los
Angelicos took me in and raised me as one of their own. To protect them,
I was asked to go undercover as a member of the LAPD. Now I must walk
the line between cop and criminal without being exposed.
--
Cliff Curtis and
Terry O'Quinn also do a phenomenal job.
Murder in the First on TNT
--I am a
Taye Digg's fan, so I thought I'd check the show out. Diggs and
Kathleen Robertson do a great job. Robertson has grown up since her
90210 days, and is compelling.
--It is a murder show that has a continuing theme, which makes it more interesting than a CSI or Law and Order show.
The Last Ship on TNT
--I'm a HUGE fan of
Eric Dane's, who played McSteamy on
Grey's Anatomy. So, thats what led to checking out this show. I'm a little behind on the episodes, but so far it's good.
The Sixties on CNN
--I realized recently that most of what I know about the 60's (since this was before I was born) is from what I've read. I haven't seen a whole lot of video of that time period.
--I happened to watch video of right before and after Robert Kennedy was assassinated and learned a lot I didn't know. It made me curious to watch more from the 60's. I then stumbled across this series and knew I needed to start watching it.
--I am behind on these episodes as well, but what I have seen has been fascinating. I'm learning a lot.
