I haven't seen Heist yet. But you're onto something with the Mission Impossible observation. The witty shows are probably going to come at us from unlikely places. And honestly? I hope that they stay below the radar for as long as it takes to keep them on basic cable. I like how wh

I remembered "Thief" just-in-time. I loved it. I love shows that manage to portray ambiguity. The main character is such a mixture of qualities. I even forgive the white wife because he's paid his dues in "Homicide". (No, I don't have a problem with mixed families. But it is tiring to see

Have you seen "Heist", and did you like it if so? I agree about Braugher. He had a show where he played a doctor, but it didn't last. Then he was in that show about the cabbie who went around helping people, only this time Braugher wasn't the star. It failed too. I hope "Thief" lasts. If not, we

I love heist and caper stories. "Hustle" has taken the place of "Lost" as the one show I will not miss when it's on. I'm looking forward to seeing how "Thief" develops, though it's getting frustrating to see this constant trial and error with Andre Braugher in shows. Why the folks at Law &
