I understand the show will go on with that other woman in charge

Yes, but it won't be "The Closer". It'll be "Major Crimes" and have a different style to it. Sounds like it'll be a bit more like "Law and Order", it'll start out with the crime and go thru the conviction.

âÂÂIn âÂÂMajor Crimes, the LAPD joins forces with the district attorneyâÂÂs office to get convictions in murder cases strong enough to cut down the expense of trying murder cases. âÂÂâÂÂThe Closerâ ended with a confession. We now end with a conviction.âÂÂ

âÂÂThe Closerâ returns tonight (July 9) at 9pm on TNT for its final six episodes while Major Crimes is all set to debut on Aug. 13, immediately following the final âÂÂCloser,â and will pick up some of the threads."

It won't have Brenda Leigh Johnson/Kyra Sedgwick , which is a crime all on its own. :(

Yes it will not be the same at all with out Brenda!
I am willing to give it a try but surely will miss the Closer.

DH and I have really enjoyed the show, but the spaces between the short seasons have been way too long IMO. I don't really like that "other woman", LOL. Have seen her in a lot of shows and I just don't like her in any of the roles she has played. Doubt we'll watch her show.

Since I dvr almost everything, I won't watch the show until tomorrow morning. This is a good show with no nudity or extremely bad language so, of course, it's not being continued.

I'm a long time fan of The Closer and wish I had the TNT channel. Guess I'll end up renting the last season as I've rented previous seasons. Kyra is so perfect in this show as is all of the original cast.

I will miss this show. I'm another one who doesn't particularly care for the 'other woman'. I'll give it a try, just like I'm doing with Dallas. But I'll try it on its own merit, not expecting it to resemble The Closer.

I like Capt. Rayder, she's really come a long way from when she first started on the show. She's gone from snooty and competitive to funny and caring. I think she'll do well in the new show.

I think what won me over was when she was getting stories from Brenda's mom over Christmas dinner, of when Brenda was younger. And then when she nailed that bad guy with her bean-bag shotgun, right between the eyes. The other detectives were so impressed and kept that beanbag. It was a hoot.

Hard to believe that "Capt. Rayder" was lso the Presidents wife in Independence Day

She was the white captive/Indian maiden in Dances with Wolves. Named Stands with Fist????

The Closer is a good show, I love it. Will miss it. I still have the last episode of Monk, and I watch it about once a year. And cry a little.

Great show. I'll miss it. Capt Rayder grew on me.
I like her. Watched Perception afterwards and found it
very uncomfortable.

I love The Closer and will miss it! I think it's so funny but also has a good storyline. I kept wondering what else I had seen Capt. Rayder in and as a previous poster pointed out it was in "Dances with Wolves". I'm not crazy about her....

I hope these six episodes aren't serialized into one storyline. I wasn't thrilled with last night's show. I doubt I'll watch the new one as I don't care for the character. Will the other members of the major crimes team still be in it? That might help....
