ALL SCI-FI

The good old American Broadcasting Network has launched an incredible new series which tops The Mentalist, Monk, Castle, and Bones!

The main character is a brilliant (and beautiful) single mom who has a 160 IQ and three children. She's making ends meet by working as an after-hours cleaning lady at an LAPD precinct. But when she takes a quick look at the detective's "evidence board" she realizes that the cops are looking for the wrong suspect!

Yes . . . she's THAT damn smart! Shocked

So, the brilliant lady makes a few quick changes to the evidence board to help the detectives, and then she goes home for the night.

But this woman is so sassy, savy, and sexy that when the cops are shown — by her changes to the board —
that they'd screwed up, they're so intimidated by her that they arrest her for "tampering with the evidence." Sad

And so, ladies and gents, off we go — into a great story about a brilliant and courageous woman who desperately wants the cops to catch the right killer, even though they fail to acknowledge her own awesome skills. Rolling Eyes

This new series from ABC has only aired two episodes, and will continue on October 8th, but it has already convinced me that it's a brilliant and unique television show which should command the respect of all the intelligent people who can appreciate its brilliant writing, excellent acting, and stunning production values — the likes of which have rarely been seen on network television.

Wade, my satellite provider (DISH) offers the first two episode "on demand" to I can watch them on my TV — which is how I managed to see the only two episode that have aired so far

Perhaps you'll find a similar way to catch up on the series. Those two episodes provide important scenes that introduce the unique character. You'll have a much better appreciation fo the series if you start from the beginning.

Actually you can just go to ABC's website and watch them on your computer! Very Happy
