If you don’t have cable then you don’t really have much to watch tonight. The Cable Choices tonight are where it is. That is an hour of outstanding television flanked on either side by two really good TV shows. The Closer is one of the best shows on TV at anytime with one of the most intriguing characters to grace the small screen. Kyra Sedgwick has created a quirky and brilliant character that deserves her Emmy nomination for Lead Actress in a Drama. Given the competition in the category in my opinion she should start preparing her acceptance speech. What do you think?
