Since its debut night back on September 21, 2010, Tuesday night viewing hasn't been quite the same. Detroit 187 brings a gritty realism to television that shows the heroic and positive side of the city that cars built. The program is a crime drama and with its ensemble cast of great actors, explores various 187's (police code for homicides) that occur with frequent regularity in the writer's minds in the Motor City. We, the viewing audience, ride along and explore the people and reasons why murders happen and why they are part of the culture of every big city. Detective Louis Fitch, played by Michael Imperioli, is rather rough around the edges yet as a ten year veteran of the DPD was first a cop with the NYPD, bringing that tough mentality to the Motor City and almost fitting in. Sergeant Jesse Longford (James McDaniel) is a lifelong resident of Detroit whose father was also a police officer. He's tough yet understanding and about to retire. Aisha Hinds is yet another alumni of NYPD Blue and represents a tough as nails black woman who heads up the DPD homicide unit. The entire cast is superb and with good writing Detroit 187 should be around for a good long while.

With well over one million views on its very first day Mortal Kombat: Legacy could be called a phenomenal hit! Machinima began the ten episode run on YouTube and it is proving that if you launch (online) it they will come. Michael Jai White along with Jeri Ryan are seriously busting chops and taking names this time around even though White (as Jax) still has human arms and Sonya Blade (Jeri Ryan) appears to be tied up an incapacitated throughout half the first episode. We notice that Kano (Darren Shahlavi) also still has both his eyes so this may get interesting if the story line is changed very much. Well presented and with great visuals the series has a PG rating but look for plenty of violence and strong language in spite of that, seemingly because they've tried to set the show with a dark style as seen in movies like Se7en or even Saw with less emphasis on the mystical aspect and more on fast action and bloody scenes to keep all ages begging for more episodes.

While on an excursion deep into the Amazon forests Dr Emmet Cole traveled along the Amazon River in search of magic held in the dark recesses of the Amazon. He turned up missing six months ago and now his locating beacon has turned up, giving off signals to help locate it. But when his wife Tess gathers together a crew to seek out the beacon and hopefully, her missing husband, they find their labors useless. Their son Lincoln has his own agenda and is ready to cross his father off as permanently gone. The crew, comprised of new acquaintances and old friends come to realize there is magic in this place and it comes alive when a ghost is unleashed, killing Jed and terrorizing the boat's crew. Starring Bruce Greenwood (Hollywood Homicide, Capote) is Dr. Emmet Cole, his wife Tess is played by Leslie Hope (Teri Bauer wife of Jack Bauer on 24), their son Lincoln is portrayed by Joseph Anderson (The Crazies, Love Happens), and Eloise Mumford previously seen on TV's Lone Star and Crash. Entertaining and filled with lush unfamiliar scenery.

Bear Grylls is host and also the one who gets unceremoniously dropped off into various situations each week and has to survive by using his wits and bare hands for the most part. He will actually do a "fly over" and check out the terrain he will be faces with and a crew spends about a week checking over the situation to determine what he has to expect. As with any "reality" program there is at least one each camera person and sound engineer or we (the viewing audience) would see and hear nothing. The situations may include attacks by alligators or falling into quick sand. He may parachute from a helicopter, run through forest fires, drink fecal liquids, even eat deer drippings, whatever it takes to simply survive! Bear may even need to construct a raft to ford rivers and must know the basics of survival without a restaurant nearby. Special guest stars pop in occasionally, including Will Ferrell (Blades of Glory, Land of the Lost) and Jake Gyllendhaal (Brothers, Love and Other Drugs).

John Grisham knows law and lawyers well because he is one himself. When he writes it usually centers around attorneys and courtrooms. The Firm was a hit movie starring Tom Cruise back in 1993 and was based on Grisham's second novel which became a best seller of the same title in 1991. When a young straight arrow Memphis attorney is hired by an organized crime related enterprise he has no idea what he's getting into until the Chicago mob ties become all too apparent. He then becomes a "whistleblower" for the FBI and helps bring down the Memphis law firm Chicago based mob ties. As the TV series begins Mitchell Y. McDeere (Josh Lucas from A Beautiful Mind, Glory Road) and his family emerge from the witness protection program only to encounter challenges, both new and old, that still threaten him and his family. Also starring in The Firm are Molly Parker (Dexter, Shattered) as Abby McDeere wife of Mitch, Callum Keith Rennie (Rookie Blue, The Killing) as Ray McDeere, Natasha Calis (Gone, Alice) as Claire McDeere, and Juliette Lewis from Natural Born Killers, From Dusk till Dawn as Tammy. Perhaps they should have remained in the security of Witness Protection.
