I had not intended to watch The Closer, but TNT changed some shows around so that I happened to (accidentally) tape one of The Closer episodes... I am so glad that I went ahead and watched what I had taped!
From the first episode that I watched... I was hooked! I had to get all of the first and second seasons to play catch-up... It is by far one of my three (or four) favorite shows... right there with Saving Grace and My Boys.
Great character development and story lines.
