It’s silly that Jamie is undercover and still walking a beat – that wouldn’t happen.
Another beef is whenever Danny catches a perp he only has to threatened to hit the guy, or hit him once to get information out of him.
Overall, I like the show, but could do without the sappy family dinners. But I guess if not for those scenes, Len, Amy and the kids wouldn’t have work.
It really does seem silly that he's undercover, walking a beat and the PC's son. He absolutely would have been recognized. Also, one of the things the media would want to do is interview the (pseudo) hero's partner.
I really love this show, too, and it is one of the few shows my husband and I enjoy watching together. There's only so much Speed channel a gal can watch after all. Anyway, I was late coming to the show, having missed the first season and was wondering if someone could tell me how the older Reagan son died? Did he die serving his country, on the force, or was he a victim of 9/11?Quote:

Wikipedia has this background info...Quote:

A running thread through the first season is Jamie's picking up Joe's investigation. The FBI tried to recruit Jamie, but he instead conducted his own covert investigation into Joe's death. Joe's murderers try to kill Jamie by tampering with the brakes on his car, but fail. Jamie then informs his father Frank, his brother Danny, and his grandfather Henry about his suspicions after the attempt on his life.
Along with Erin, they join together and complete Joe's investigation of the Blue Templar. After gathering sufficient evidence to obtain arrest warrants, Frank leads a team of police officers, including Danny and Jamie, and they arrest all the corrupt cops at a covert meeting while the dirty cops are dividing up stolen drug money. A detective named Sonny Malevsky (Michael T. Weiss), who was leading the gang of dirty cops, admits to killing Joe, but Malevsky commits suicide with his own service pistol after confessing to the murder.
I also love the family dinners! :up
Wow, seems like quite a lot happened that first season. Thanks for filling me in, Uncle David!Quote:

for me it's not just the short haircut (I had the pixie when i was a kid). I don't care for the actress in general. I was happy to miss the epi a couple weeks back that featured Nicki. She is the only cast member I would replace if I had a say.Quote:

He dumped her before they knew she was pregnant. She was smart enough to not take him back. In fact the kid's name is Jonathan Edward Thomas Monahan (JET). ha ha since he plays for the Patriots and the Jets play in the same division.
