When you appear on "Jeopardy," choosing "Epic Fail" as your category, expect the big money question to read, "What is "˜The Cape'?" Score hundreds of dollars on your tote board. "The Cape" enjoyed a very brief and frighteningly unspectacular run on NBC, a 2010-2011 mid-season replacement for some equally forgettable je ne sais qua. The show didn't even struggle across the finish line; the season finale aired only on the NBC website. So surprising in light of "The Cape's" genius premise"”framed for murder, a police officer goes undercover as a masked hero, striving to restore his good name and win the privilege of once again seeing his estranged son. What son would not be thrilled to see his father in action as a masked-man; tights optional? Developed for the 9p.m. time-slot, very deliberately family-friendly, "The Cape's" few fiercely loyal viewers characterized it as "good clean fun," scathing NBC and alleging the programming execs had axed Superhero and Son because it was not sleazy and salacious enough. More tights? A handsome codpiece? A representative Yahoo review suggested, "The cape needs time to develop a fan base"¦. How can you develop characters in a short time? I think that NBC should cancel their people who make the decisions."

Detroit 1-8-7

Action & Adventure

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.

Rescue Me

Action & Adventure

Starring stand up comedian Denis Leary, Rescue Me deals with real life trauma and the life of a fire fighter in the great city of New York. In a fictional fire house we follow along with the daily activities of the FDNY finest and bravest. Often their private lives call for more bravery than the job. Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary) has a dysfunctional family and after losing a close cousin on September 11, 2001 he has problems dealing with the fact that cousin keeps showing up in his dreams or visions. Tommy deals with his alcoholism, unsettling visions, and the stress that goes with being a fire fighter each week. We ride along on the fire trucks as he and his group of firemen go about the business of putting out fires, help injured civilians, and deal with some domestic issues. The recurring guest list is impressive including Gina Gershon, Susan Sarandon, Artie Lange, Maura Tierney, Jennifer Esposito, and Michael J. Fox. As you would expect, the firemen in New York City are kept quite busy and danger is a constant possibility. Denis Leary and Peter Tolan are co-creators of Rescue Me.
