Flashpoint

Every now and then a show hits the air that really stands out; Heroes, Beverly Hills 90210, Growing Pains and MASH just to name a few. While this show may not be a memorable as those I think it is one of the better shows that have been on the air in recent years and every episode seems to be better than the last.

Rarely do summer shows really do well. These days summer TV has been filled with reality shows and reruns. This year CBS had 3 winners in my book. The tenth season of Big Brother, 70s drama Swingtown and following the huge success of the Law and Order and CSI franchises was my favorite of the season Flashpoint. Big Brother has been picked up for an eleventh season. Swingtown while it impressed many due to the content rumors are that it will not be back. Flashpoint still has a few episodes left to air this season and has been scheduled for 13 episodes on CTV the Canadian Broadcast company that co-produced the first season with CBS Paramount. It is unknown at this time whether CBS will sign on as well for a second season or not, but I hope so. If you have missed the show be sure to swing by CBS.com to watch full episodes.
