This is one of my favorite shows.

Mary McCormick plays a US Marshall. I know I've seen her in other movies, but I can't think of what. I think she was in one with David Spade... Dicky Roberts - Child Star, or something like that.

This show is a really good fit for her. I like her cutie-pie co-star too.

This is one of our favorite shows too! It's really well written and I love Mary's character. Some of her lines are classic!

I think so too Joan!!! I love at the end when she gives her commentary. One time she said something about words and wishes... I was so inspired I wrote a song called Words and Wishes!!

Have you been watching it this season? I just ask cuz I don't want to make a comment and spoil anything

I watch this and enjoy it a lot. I like that Marshall does origami

I think it's fair to post information about the latest season, hopefully someone coming into this thread will know it's about the show and expect us to talk about it!

Okay, Lisa, so I'll talk about it LOL!!!

I was very surprised that they have Mary pregnant on the show. It's pretty obvious that she's pregnant in real life, but I was always hoping that she and Marshall would get together!!

When she got shot he was so devastated! I just KNEW he had deeper feelings than friendship for her. And remember how he'd glare at her engagement ring.

I'm hoping for a Marshall connection too... but typically when a show crosses that line, it takes something away from the tension that makes me enjoy it. So, I'm holding out hope for an EVENTUAL connection... just like I am for NCIS' Tony & Ziva. I just hope they give me a few episodes to enjoy the relationship before the series ends.... I hate when they finally get the couple together in the last episode. Seems a little mean. :-)

Wow I had no idea the actress was pregnant in real life - I thought they were doing it with makeup and pillows and such Ooops! And here I was grumpy that they and Bones were both doing the exact same plot twist and bugging me with it.

I suppose while it's easy to make a non-pregnant woman look pregnant for TV, it's harder for them to make a pregnant actress look non-pregnant so they were sort of stuck when she got pregnant.

I read that the actress who plays Mary went to the powers that be on the show and talked about having Mary pregnant vs trying to hide it. They decided with Mary's personality, it would be interesting to see how she reacted to all of the pregnancy issues.

I like her and Marshall better as friends. I think it ruins it when they bring romance into it. With Bones, where will they go from here now that she's pregnant, etc.

This is one of those classic things. I used to love Scarecrow and Mrs. King which had one of those closet-love relationships. It was great while the tension was there, and once it was gone the show fizzled.

The same with Alias. I loved it while they were hiding their love - and when they finally were able to reveal it, it lost its spark.

But how long can one reasonably keep things "in tension" in a show?

I heard this is the final season. I'm just starting to catch up on this show via on-demand (as well as a few others). Too bad, it really was a good show when I was able to catch it!

Yes we are watching this season and with every episode I'm upset that it's ending. It has great acting, great dialogue, and great insights.

They handle all sorts of characters, all sorts of issues.

I'll miss it!

Lisa,
I love Mary's sarcastic sense of humor. It cracks me up!

I'm catching up on prior seasons. I just saw the one where Mary was shot. It was so sad to see Marshal crying. I hate to see it end, I'm wondering what they are going to do with the relationship.

I love all the USA Original shows -- IPS included! This is actually Mary's 3rd child in real life, I had seen an interview with her -- she's very soft spoken & shy, total opposite of her character!

Marshall has such a geeky loveable personality, I always thought he had a subtle thing for Mary but he didnt realize it (until his own dad brought it up).

Interesting to see how this ends, her dad coming back was a surprise but then again the show is full of surprises!

One more week! How do you think it will end? Do you think Marshall and Mary well end up together? Anyone remember the series JAG? Mac and Harm got together at thte last minute?

Diane, I will be watching the series finale' this Friday!!! For sure! I honestly enjoyed the first few seasons better than these last two, but I think the baby is adorable, and I'm excited to see if she and Marshall end up together. I wish there had been more build up toward that through this season --- it's been a little mellow on the secret romance front LOL!

I DO remember JAG! I LOVED it!!

I know the season is over now but I still miss it. I recorded that final scene with Mary on the balcony, it was so touching. He finally admits he cares, and that he would always come for her if she needed him. That was so powerful to me.
