It (RTB) is far and away the better show and I'm stymied at its loss of half the lead-in. “The Closer” is for the “Murder She Wrote” crowd while “Raising The Bar” is geared more toward the “NYPD Blue” set.

I think HawthoRNe and Dark Blue will do quite well, HawthoRNe has a recognisable name in Jada Pinkett Smith and Dark Blue has Dylan McDermott and Jerry Bruckherimer.

It looks like the worst kind of cliché ridden cop show but then again maybe that'll appeal to people. I'll reserve judgemenet until I see a full episode but I'm not holding my breath on it right now.

Maybe I say hit too early especially since its going against CBS procedural repeats but its definitely going to be the next big TNT show unless Hawthorne hits this summer.

It being a procedural is helping keeping it afloat right now. Dark Blue is the next big TNT series. Burn Notice is no where near done with its growth as there's still a whole bunch of viewers that it has yet to cater to. The Closer is slipping and bleeding hard.

And whilst I'm not usually a big retention guy you do have to wonder if TNT could be making better use of The Closer lead-in.

But Burn Notice's premiere in the summer was pretty much the same as it's finale during the regular season.
