22 episode 5th season

I may not watch this right away Sunday night, but I love this show. One of my favorites.

CBS signed streaming deals with Amazon and Hulu for this show. They also signed a syndication deal with the Hallmark Channel, that extra cash pretty much locked in season 5.

FYI, if you got the Jets/Titans game on your CBS affiliate in the East or Central market, it's airing 15 minutes late tonight.

so glad this is back.

I finally gave up and set it to record for a 2 hour block starting with the time it's scheduled to start. If it starts more than an hour late, I give up. It's pretty bad this show can't get a consistent start time.

Nice shot of Alicia's left profile into the title cards. Best drama on broadcast TV. The strings in the score were really heightened in this ep more than usual.

BOO! I noticed they did away with that trend where the number of words in the episode title = number of seasons. I guess they're using quotes from the characters instead.

Rolling veins? Aren't most healthy veins bouncy, move from side to side? Sounds like an excuse for a nurse/phlebotomist would use if they can't do a stick properly.

I didn't know that was a thing.

Such a good show.

I love how they always use ChumHum as their search engine.

"Anal's what we need right now." "Our new state motto?"

"What's going on? West Side Story?"

Wish I hadn't seen the season 5 teaser at the end - it was short, but gave away some tense dramatic stuff.

Loved Loved Loved this episode. Nice continuation from the finale last season.

"Hey Zach, what's up with your sister? She's looking all hot and stuff"

Turbochap.com I loved the look on Zach's face when he saw the site.

I'd be really nervous if I was Alicia about telling the partners that she was in on it.

Here's my question, Alicia is an equity partner in Lockhart-Gardner. Now that she's planning to leave, does she get that money back? I would assume so. Not sure how a buy in into a law firm works.

I have to say that Robert and Michelle King are probably 2 of the best and smartest TV writers right now. This is such a smart show. I wish more here would get into this. I mean all the seasons are now on Hulu and Amazon Prime.
