			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Crime Dramedy Ends Too Soon</h4>

<div><img class="center" src="http://tvjots.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/the-unusuals.jpg" alt="The Unusuals" /></div>

<p>Darn it! Yes, I still haven&#8217;t gotten over the cancellation of the highly entertaining and funny <b>Amber Tamblyn</b> cop show <a href="http://abc.go.com/primetime/theunusuals/" rel="nofollow"  title="ABC Website for The Unusuals"><b><i>The Unusuals</i></b></a>, especially now that the series finale is upon us. After &#8220;<b>E.I.D.</b>&#8221; airs tonight at 10:01pm ET on ABC, there&#8217;ll be no more interestingly weird NYPD detectives to watch each week, which, to put it bluntly, sucks.</p>

<span id="more-2647"></span>

<p>During the last episode of the show, our favorite cops from New York City&#8217;s seemingly cursed 2nd Precinct take on the case of a couple who learn their apartment is the location featured in a porn film they rented (Geesh!) after someone breaks in but fails to actually steal anything. The odd crime eventually prompts partners Allison Beaumont (<b>Monique Gabriela Curnen</b>) and Henry Cole (<b>Josh Close</b>) to head undercover in order to figure out what the deal is with the building&#8217;s tenants.</p>

<p>Elsewhere, Tamblyn&#8217;s rich-girl detective Casey Shraeger gets perhaps too involved with a New York resident who was brutally attacked years ago and now devotes much effort to repeatedly filing complaints with the police.</p>

<p>If only show runners had enough time to include resolutions for the ongoing storylines concerning understandably paranoid Leo Banks (<b>Harold Perrineau</b>) and his brain tumor-stricken partner Eric Delahoy (<b>Adam Goldberg</b>). Never would I have imagined before <i>The Unusuals</i> that I&#8217;d actually come to enjoy Goldberg on a TV show.</p>

<p>Too bad the thrill is about to be gone after only one 10-episode season. I could have used at least two or three more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>I&#8217;ll Take Some Funny with That</h4>

<div><img class="center" src="http://tvjots.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/life.jpg" alt="Adam Arkin, Damian Lewis, Sarah Shahi, Donal Logue, Brent Sexton/Life" /></div>

<p>NBC and ABC are the place to be tonight during prime time if you like your crime procedurals funny and smart, with a little bite and a few gunshots for good measure.</p>

<span id="more-2546"></span>

<p>At 9pm ET on the Peacock, <b>Damian Lewis</b>&#8216; excellent cop show <a href="http://www.nbc.com/Life/" rel="nofollow"  title="NBC Website for Life"><b><i>Life</i></b></a> calls it a second season with the finale &#8220;<b>One</b>.&#8221;  Although there&#8217;s legitimate cause to be sad since poor ratings could lead to the episode doubling as a series finale, too, at least the show is doing its best to go out with a bang instead of a whimper.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.fox.com/terminator/" rel="nofollow"  title="FOX Website for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"><b><i>Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles</i></b></a> regular <b>Garret Dillahunt</b> returns as wicked Russian gangster Roman Nevikov for the installment, and it seems he&#8217;s the person responsible for Dani Reese&#8217;s (<b>Sarah Shahi</b>) recent disappearance during her temporary stint at the FBI.</p>

<p>That can only mean bad things, of course, which is why she &#8212; and viewers &#8212; should be darn grateful her partner is Charlie Crews (<b>Damian Lewis</b>), who can shock with his swift transformation from contemplative Zen Dude to quick-draw Badass Lawman mode.  I can&#8217;t wait to see how he puts this ongoing strife with Roman to rest at last, or if he even manages to.</p>

<p>When <i>Life</i>&#8216;s last scene fades from the screen, I&#8217;ll be flicking the dial over to ABC (sorry, <i>Lost</i> &#8212; I&#8217;ll stream you online later) to catch the series premiere of the new <b>Amber Tamblyn</b> series <a href="http://abc.go.com/primetime/theunusuals/" rel="nofollow"  title="ABC Website for The Unusuals"><b><i>The Unusuals</i></b></a> at 10:02pm ET.</p>

<p>The <i>Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants</i> and <i>Joan of Arcadia</i> actress plays NYPD Vice detective Casey Shraeger, who finds herself transferred to Homicide and partnered with Jason Walsh (<b>Jeremy Renner</b>, <i>28 Weeks Later</i>).  Their first case together?  Investigating the death of Walsh&#8217;s former partner.  Lovely.</p>

<p>Shraeger&#8217;s more &#8220;unusual&#8221; colleagues in her new unit include <b>Harold Perrineau</b> of <i>Lost</i> as paranoid Detective Leo Banks, whose condition motivates him to wear a bulletproof vest all the time, and <b>Adam Goldberg</b> ( <i>Entourage</i>) as Banks&#8217; suicidal partner Detective Eric Delahoy, who wants to meet his maker, provided that the introduction happens while he&#8217;s at work.</p>

<p>If the pilot sneak peek below is any indication, it should be fun watching to see if Delahoy ever gets his death wish.  And, that&#8217;s saying a lot coming from someone who usually considers Goldberg unbearably annoying and an excellent reason to change the channel.</p>
