Big episode tonight for old new guys Mr. Palmer and McGee. There was a nice parallel between the two — McGee got the chance to run his first investigation, and Palmer conducted his first solo autopsy … of a squirrel. The little body on the table ruined the moment and also made it so much better. […]
For the second week in a row, Men of a Certain Age gave us a taste of the couple of the future — Terry and Owen. And for the second time running, the pairing of the two “backups” played more like they were the stars than just fillers. Honestly, in the beginning I thought it would […]

Three members of the firm reveal surprises to us, and Jimmy astonishes me tremendously by finally being a standup guy. And Richard Bay’s head looks set to explode! 5.4 “Appeal and Denial” Continuing on the theme of judging […]
