It makes no sense that a network would pay salaries for several recognizable actors (Adam Goldberg, Harold Perrinau from "Lost," and Tamblyn herself), invest in the costs of making a one-hour drama on location in New York, and then dump the results with little advertising as a mid-season replacement. But that's what happened with this show, one which certainly broke no new ground in setting (battle-weary big city cops), but was nevertheless enjoyable due to good acting and intelligent writing. I wonder if ABC wound up kicking itself a little when the male lead, Jeremy Renner, wound up getting a Best Actor nomination for "The Hurt Locker." I'd definitely like to see "Stephanie Daley," having been intrigued by it when I read the good review in the LA Times. And having then been frustrated by never actually seeing it listed at any local theater.wwolfenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-45572190123251548242010-03-22T10:00:28.116-04:002010-03-22T10:00:28.116-04:00I'm stunned that a major city like Philly does...I'm stunned that a major city like Philly doesn't have a reliably well-stocked video outlet.Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-33010230260431025442010-03-22T09:22:43.043-04:002010-03-22T09:22:43.043-04:00Jimmy- Thanks for the heads up.
