    Prepare for a fun revisit as we list our favorite moments on the hit TNT TV series franchise: THE CLOSER and its follow-up MAJOR CRIMES.   Guest Lila Morrill, who's a civilian working for the police dept., gets to rate the accuracy as well.   How many brutal bomb defusings, intense shoot-outs, blunt interrogations & welcome office humor make this a cut above most procedurals?   How many STAR TREK & BREAKING BAD actors were on this HOMICIDE/BONES type show?   All that and why both actors Raymond Cruz & J.K. Simmons are national treasures!

    It's time for Tom & I to jokingly review the low-brow yet popular Action shows: the half-Cherokee WALKER, TX. RANGER and rather similar RENEGADE!   Guess which one of these shows is loosely connected to the ST. ELSEWHERE universe?   Would either of these shows had been WAY better with JCVD or Schwarzenegger in the lead role?   Cam also has Drinking Game Instructions for all viewers: *Take a drink each time you hear the hero's name *Have a cookie or sweet for each fight scene *And if you're going to watch this all day, just down an entire block of cheese!   SONG USED: "Walker Texas Ranger Theme Song" by Chuck Norris
