It moved to Friday nights where Blue Bloods was on and Blue Bloods moved to their time for a little while. CBS playing around with time spots again. Great show so hope it stays around.

Actually, CBS isn't swapping them. Blue Bloods is airing on Wednesday because CBS wants to turn it into an even bigger Friday hit by exposing it to new viewers. The show will return to Friday when the Criminal Minds spinoff takes over the Wednesday 10:00 timeslot on February 16th. As for The Defenders, it is replacing Medium, which will end this week, on Fridays at 8:00. It will air there until it completes its run, and a new show, Chaos starring Freddy Rodriguez and Eric Close, will air on Fridays at 8:00 beginning April 1st.
Hope that helps! :thumbsup:

This was a great episode, Some new Vegas mixed with some old. :bolian:
Nick has a girlfriend, he's so cute and so happy. He in the opening scene kisses her goodbye with saying they'll meet up later and he's walking towards his car and is mugged. Another thug is waiting and throws a burlap tpe sack over his head and the drive away with him in the back. Into the desert [where else?] Lo-and-behold it's an old freind Donnie who's been gone for 17 years, and Nick is miffed off. What the hell are you doing, you almost gave me a heart attack, and with a gun". Donnie goes "I'm sorry" Then he told his sob story, how he was going up for trial for his wifes murder, and he was afraid he'd be convicted, so he split. The cops show up, [Nick had quickly dialed 911] and he surrendered. Donnie in the day that was connected to the mob. So anyways Nick decides to defend him again~
His blood was found on the wife Amanda. The old DNA was missing. The judge still won't dismiss the case. Nick goes to see his daughter who was 6 when he ran away, and she's convinced he did kill her mom and tells Nick to leave. Pete is going to help Nick work on the case.!
Nick goes to see the old crime boss Carmine, he dummies up and doesn't give him any info Nick back then, worked for him and low level mobsters. The go out to the parking lot and Pete's car blows up [oh boy another explosion] He's scared out of his wits. Nick doesn't think the murder is connected to the old mob they used guns and she was strangled. And fought back So he asks the judge to exhume her body for DNA evidence under her fingernails. she OK's it. Body is exhumed and it's not a match to Donnie. Meanwhile the neighbor who called in the crime back then is found to have been putting flowers on her grave for 17 years. Apparently he put the moves on her, she rebuffed him and he killed her. His name is Cahill. The daughter, hugs her dad and realizes he's innocent. The prosecutor in her closing goes "The guilty run away" Nick in his goes "The innocent return"
Donnie is found guilty regardless of Nick's closing summary. I was stunned by this. So as they were walking out of the courtroom, the see Cahill throw a coffee cup in a trash bin. The recover it for DNA and a appeal for Donnie.
Always so good, great new show:bolian:

Great episode, and special guest Dan Ackroyd, working as a judge His best buddy was John Belushi, Jim's bro. He was great. The prostitute conning guys to help deliver drugs, by putting them in their cars, without their knowledge, and Nick posing as one of the poor smucks. He was fantastic, and she fell for his ruse. He almost was smitten by her beauty, but they broke in the room in Mexico, and arrested her. Such a good show with so much comedy mixed in:guffaw:

Nick [Jim] and Judge Hunter [Dan] are so funny and in tune, such pros.:lol:
He calls Nick and is up on drug charges 30-40 counts of a controlled subtance and with a call girl in a sleazy motel Dan Ackroyd was great in this as a serious yet clown like judge. He was a total delight.~
He jokes all the way through the interogation "What kind of bus was Willie Nelson on, a cannibus, much to Nick's dismay rolling his eyes
He also treis to tell them what to do. and Pete gets in on it too. He's so erractic goes off in left field, rambling, thinking everything is hunky-dory:lol:
2nd cast a girl is suing a restuarant for getting sick on thier dairy prodcuts served to her
The girl Lucy who was with him he was actually trying to help her, bad life as a stripper, and he of course think's he's beyond reproach.~
The other case they offered her $15,000 for the poisioning, it seems fishy to Lisa. she says NO~
Nick puts the judge on the stand, he's been a judge for 17 yrs. in Vegas, Nick was fair in his questions. He had found out that Lucy was in an abusive relationship and was trying to help her get out of it "I do not regret meeting Lucy Cardell for 1 minute"
She had been pulled over by the cops [it was a sting] and they gave her the oxicontin which she had when the judge and her were only talking in the motel, but she was knocking them back with whiskey and he was too, He actually saved her by calling 911. which is when Nick found him~
Now they offered the other girl $20,000 so why?
So the judge gets off, and outside Nick goes to him, "if you ever in these parts again, we'll get together for a beer" Hunter goes "What is this "Little House On The Prairie"? :lol: "I'll be back just taking some tme off" Pete makes fun of him and Nick throws a "fake punch":lol:
