The Perils of Promos

by RD Heldenfels on August 28, 2006

in The Closer

So there we were, the bride and I, watching "The Closer" and talking here and there about what we thought had happened. Well, I was talking, anyway. I do that. Then, late in the show, as the pieces were falling together, TNT ran a promo that included a big scene from the episode we were watching. Which was also a scene that we had not actually watched in the episode yet. And which confirmed suspicions we had about one of the chararacters — before we had had those suspicions confirmed in the actual watching of the show.

What a delight. So much for surprise. Forget letting an episode unfold at its own pace. I know, it's not the first time a network has diminished a show with an overly revealing promo. But it's never fun, is it?

Dear Fan of The Closer,

I love the show, The Closer with Myra Sedgwick, and am particularly fond of the handbag she always uses in the show. I have been seeking in vain for where to find and purchase this bag. Can you please help me find it? I really love it's style and function.

Thank you.

Your truly,

Mary McLaughlin

According to TNT, the bag was designed especially for the show and is not available for purchase.
