The Mysteries Of Laura: Discussion Thread

THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA – Debra Messing (“Will & Grace”) stars as Laura Diamond, a brilliant NYPD homicide detective who balances her “Columbo” day job with a crazy family life that includes two unruly twin boys and a soon-to-be ex-husband (Josh Lucas) — also a cop — who just can’t seem to sign the divorce papers. Between cleaning up after her boys and cleaning up the streets, she’d be the first to admit she has her “hot mess” moments in this hilariously authentic look at what it really means to be a “working mom” today. Somehow, she makes it all work with the help of her sexy and understanding partner, and things becomes even more complicated when her husband, ironically, becomes her boss at the precinct. For Laura, every day is a high-wire balancing act.

The cast also includes Laz Alonso and Janina Gavankar. Writer Jeff Rake (“Boston Legal”) and director McG (“Supernatural”) serve as executive producer with Greg Berlanti (“Brothers & Sisters”), Aaron Kaplan (“The Neighbors”), Todd Lituchy and Sarah Schechter. “The Mysteries of Laura” is a production of Warner Bros. Television, Berlanti Productions and Kapital Entertainment.

This looks interesting!

It's weird seeing Debra Messing as a detective. My first reaction was, "So Grace Adler's a cop now?" lol

Oh boy... I love me some Debra, but this looks awful.

Well, she tried to be a "starter wife" and a lyricist/book writer for Broadway. Might as well try everything else.

I just hope she stays away from wearing scarves this time around.

Laz Alonso though... did NBC learn nothing from Deception? I will only semi tune in for Janina Gavankar.

Reviews are in and they're not good (surprise)

Let's see how it fares in the ratings after America's Got Talent.

I didn't think it was that bad. It's cute

Let's see how it fares in the ratings after America's Got Talent.

NBC: "America's Got Talent" finale (13.1 million, 8.0/13)

18-49 leader: "America's Got Talent" (2.6)

10 p.m.

NBC: "The Mysteries of Laura" premiere (10.4 million, 6.6/12)

18-49 leader: "The Mysteries of Laura" (2.1)

Not bad ratings for it really, if it stays around 1.5 in A18-49 it will most likely be good enough for NBC.

The reviews doesn't exactly inspire me to check it out.

So I've watched since last season. I like it, but I think that Callie Thorne's talents are wasted in such a small regular role. I would much rather see her starring in her own show as the lead. The cast has great chemistry. Debra Messing is wonderful!!! and she has chemistry with Josh Lucas.
