I would hate to miss episodes of The Closer but this show not so much. It's time to move on from the Rusty character, so annoying! Bring back Southland!

I did like "The Closer". But wasn't horribly discourage if I missed an episode. But with "Major Crimes" every episode gets recorded and watched at least 2 times before they get erased, if at all. Love the show.
