Two different strong leading lady t.v. series. Both worth looking into.

Tommy with Edie Falco CBS Thursday at 10:00 First episode began on Feb. 6. - A former high-ranking NYPD officer becomes the first female police chief of Los Angeles. A true blue New Yorker, Abigail "Tommy" Thomas uses her unflinching honesty and hardball tactics to keep social, political and national security issues from hindering effective law enforcement in the Southland. With an equal distribution of political, procedural and family drama, "Tommy" comes from Paul Attanasio, the creator of the acclaimed series "Bull," "House" and "Homicide: Life on the Street."

Briarpatch with Rosario Dawson USA Thursday at 10:00 first episode began on Feb 6. - Based on the Ross Thomas novel of the same name, "Briarpatch" follows Allegra Dill, a dogged investigator who returns to her border-town home in San Bonifacio, Texas. What begins as a search for her sister's killer turns into an all-consuming fight to bring the corrupt town to its knees. "Briarpatch' celebrates a unique blend of crime, thriller, mystery, and pulp fiction.

1. "Tommy" Sounds Great!

Edie Falco is terrific and "Homicide: Life on the Street" was one of the best police dramas ever broadcast! I cannot wait to see this! Thanks for the info!

4. Give the Dawson one two episodes before you make a decision.

It's the nod to the pulp fiction genre that won me over.

6. Thx, I will. Weird that I have seen zero commercials

for Tommy. I watch CBS a lot...

7. I don't remember where I saw the commercial, but, yes, it was just the one.

Very weird that they wouldn't go all out for Edie Falco.

11. Hiya! So I've caught both shows, I'm so

glad you recommended them, had not heard of either. While I love me some Edie Falco, Tommy is turning out a bit formulaic and predictable, not sure how long I’ll stick to it.

Briarpatch is awesome, tho, for a non premium channel! I’m digging that one entirely. Thanks!!

12. Can't believe they would do that to Edie, but it's possible because I find myself

watching Briarpatch and recording Tommy.

5. Thank you!

I have been excited waiting for Tommy. I love Edie Falco and she looks in the ads to be perfect for the part. I forgot about it, will get it now!

I have not heard about Briarpatch. I love Rosario Dawson and have not heard about her show. I will look that one up and put it on my list. Thank you. I love female leads on shows.

I like Edie Falco. I hardly watch regular channels anymore so I wasn't aware of either of these shows, so thank you for this.
