It's like '90210' all over again!
Maybe no one realized this yet. Or, maybe no one really cared.
During the 2005-06 television season, seven alumni of FOX's Beverly Hills, 90210 have appeared or
will appear in a regular series.
Do you doubt me? Do you think it isn't true? Do you think I have way too much time on my hands? Well, the last may be true, but that's not the point.
Click on, dear reader, for the proof that you seek.
In Justice: Side Man
According to fellow TV
Squadder Bob Sassone, I could be reviewing one of the last
episodes of In Justice before it goes on "hiatus". I'm surprised at this, considering that
ABC has been touting the show as the highest rated new drama on Friday nights. That, and I never had a chance to warm
up to the show.
Or, this could be all bogus and we could be talking about the show ten years from now and how it jumped the shark in season seven when it became a three-camera, studio audience sitcom.
Despite the speculation, I shall plow ahead. This week the focus is on Constance Zimmer's character Brianna. What I didn't realize last episode was that Brianna, as well as Jon (Daniel Cosgrove) and Sonya (Marisol Nichols) are attorneys at the National Justice Project. Charles Conti (Jason O'Mara) is the exception; he's a former cop.
In Justice:Lovers
I'm sorry, but every time I see Kyle MacLachan I think of
that scene in the film Blue Velvet where he's hiding in the closet, nothing on but his birthday suit,
while Dennis Hopper sucks in oxygen and swears at Isabella Rossellini. So, I came into this review a bit jaded.
Turns out that Kyle didn't appear naked once during the entire show.
In Justice is a procedural show, first and foremost. There's an injustice, the Justice Project team investigates, Kyle MacLachan's character goes the legal route, and there's a happy resolution. They also incorporate features from other procedurals, such as the flashback from such shows as CSI and Without a Trace. But it's also slower and a bit more character-driven than, say, Law & Order.
