While enduring a series of pranks from high school kids blowing off steam with an annual scavenger hunt, and searching for Epstein’s (Gregory Smith) stolen squad car, Andy (Missy Peregrym) and Swarek (Ben Bass) come across a rattled and bloody teen (Noah Reid) with a bag full of cash. Although the kid escapes, his trail leads the pair of cops to a local thief and fence bleeding to death in the back room of his shop.

Green Lantern: The Animated Series concludes it’s first season with an invasion of Oa, a fleet of Red Lanterns on the verge of invading Guardian space, and a trip home for Hal Jordan (Josh Keaton). Although it’s taken me a little time to warm to the design and look of the show the first season did have its moments and I’ll be interested to see where it goes from here with the conclusion of the Red Lantern story arc.

I caught the first couple of episodes of Rookie Blue‘s first season back when it premiered in the summer of 2010. Although I’m a fan of the show’s star Missy Peregrym, there wasn’t enough to bring me back every week and I wondered how long the show would manage to stick around. After completing two 13-episode seasons Rookie Blue returned this week for it’s Third Season and, with most of the shows I’m currently watching now on hiatus (or waiting to begin their own summer runs) I decided to give it another shot.

In the series third season finale the graduating members of the New Directions say goodbye to the Glee Club and prepare to for their lives after graduation. Although the show undercut the finality of each moment by announcing almost all the characters will be returning in some role next season, it’s still nice to see each get their own final story and a chance to say farewell.

“The cop deserves the benefit of the doubt.”

Robert B. Parker‘s Jesse Stone (Tom Selleck) returned to television this past weekend, but sadly without his author’s voice. Written by Selleck and Michael Brandman Benefit of the Doubt continues to examine the the life of the recovering alcoholic police chief of Paradise, Massachusetts. Although the latest made-for-TV film delivers another strong character-centered story, the script is lacking the flair of Parker’s trademark wit.
