Q&A: Janet Tamaro, "Rizzoli & Isles" executive producer!

From the R&I Facebook (contains hints about season 2!):
When you write an episode, what usually comes first in the process...the case the team has to solve or where you want to take the characters/want us to learn about the characters for that episode?
--Lori Boyles

It really depends on the episode.

How much importance does the fan community around the show affect the way you write it? Do you put things in for the fans to work on?
--Julia Hedberg

I definitely do pay attention, but I'm human, too, and the occasional negative comments get to me. It's very easy to sit back and critique. It's a lot harder to roll up your sleeves and create. That said, I love that people love this show. It's what we all strive for as writers. It helps me write it week after week if I make a point of staying true to what made me want to write this in the first place: a good solid crime show driven by the relationship between two smart, complicated, opposite women who make us all laugh. We (me and my team of writers) work hard to build strong mysteries because we're writing for a smart, savvy audience. The goal is to keep you guessing until the end...

Will either lady have a love interest this season?
--Debbie Roberts

We have some great surprises planned for both of them in the "love interest" category.

What made you get into television writing?
--Helena Vann

It is the most powerful and direct way to do all that I love to do: write, produce, work with other writers, directors, actors and crew in this massive collaboration that is putting on a TV show. I live to make people laugh, think, tear up and come back again for more.

THANK YOU for creating/writing/producing such a GREAT show. Can't wait for July 11th! Is writing/producing this show as fun to do... as the show is to watch? Doubt it, but your efforts pay off for us viewers BIG TIME!
--Gary McCullough

Well, thank you for watching and for taking the time to thank me. It means a lot to me to know that we have fans like you. As for the fun in all of this...You're catching me on a Sunday after I've spent the weekend writing (and the week producing into the wee hours). Yes, it has its moments of fun. And yes, it's a lot of effort. But it makes it worth it when I read comments like yours, so thank you and keep watching. Season 2 will be even better than Season 1.

A shout out about a shout out!

From TV Guide:
Sometimes it's not just about the ratings. And sometimes it is. That's the takeaway from an eventful week in the win-some/lose-some sweepstakes we call TV programming.

On the plus side: TNT's renewal of Southland, the latest lifeline for the gritty police drama that NBC ditched during that misbegotten period when Jay Leno put the 10 pm drama on the endangered species list. It will never be as popular as the network's signature shows like The Closer and Rizzoli & Isles (which got a funny shout out from 30 Rock's Liz Lemon this week), but Southland's uncompromising integrity helps give credence to TNT's "We Know Drama" credo.

Article: Angie Harmon style shout out!

From Style Shout Out:
Style Shout Out to Angie Harmon who truly is living well.

When I say that Angie Harmon is "living well" I don't mean because she relocated with her family to Charlotte to ensure her children have a "normal" childhood away from the spotlights of Hollywood, or because she is a talented actress and style icon, or because she is married to Jason Sehorn who is one of my favorite NY Giants of all time.

I say she is living well because she is also the Mom of three who is working diligently in conjunction with Hidden Valley and LoveYourVeggies.com to help educate parents and arm them with the tools they need to make meal time healthier and more harmonious.

Harmon was on the Nate Berkus show, and one of the first questions that Nate asked her was, "What does living well mean to you and your family?" Harmon's response, "I sort of have a motto, if you're not happy at home you're not happy anywhere else...so you have to eat healthy..."

I totally agree with what she said and if you are arguing with your kids every day just to get them to eat their veggies it doesn't make for a happy meal time. The segment was very informative and there were some fun and inventive ways to get kids to eat their veggies. It is so important to teach our kids about making healthy choices because we are not with them when they navigate the school cafeteria or are at a friend's house. The goal is to get kids to choose healthy on their own.

Studies show that kids will eat more veggies if they are involved in the process whether the process is growing the veggies, dipping the veggies or helping in the preparation of the food.

Personally I have experienced this with my daughter. Since the time she was three she loves to be in the kitchen helping me cook. Her favorite food is pasta and meatballs and sometimes it is difficult to get her to experiment with a new food.

Recently I was making stew and asked if she wanted to help. She reminded me that she doesn't like stew but decided to help anyway. When we sat down to dinner she actually said, "This stew I made is delicious!" Did I correct her and say, "We made it together." No, I didn't. I was so happy she ate one bowl I thought that was worth the credit.

So today check out LoveYourVeggies.com and introduce your family to some fun and healthy recipes!

Angie Harmon is living well, are you?

My Style Shout Out Tip: Eat your veggies and fruit every day because beauty really does start on the inside! So the next time you slather on your night cream and serum ask yourself, "Did I eat my veggies today? Am I Living Well?"

"Glam Couture Magazine" interviews Lee Thompson Young!

From "Glam Couture Magazine" (download the PDF HERE):
"Yeah, it's great," he says. "But those particular women are really fantastic. Sasha has a very caring, nurturing kind of energy and she's also super hot. Angie's really sweet too. She just loves to have a good time. She's a jokester, a prankster, so she keeps everybody laughing." I ask if he ever feels overwhelmed by all the estrogen on set, and he laughs, holding his head with both of his hands. "Sometimes there are moments when the girl-talk gets a litle intense, and I have to walk away." He looks at me, almost accusingly. "Sometimes when they talk about those...feminine things I feel like I'm behind the curtain in Oz and the wizard is telling me all the secrets, and I'm like 'No! I don't wanna know!'"

How many episodes will there be of R&I season 2?

Originally posted on March 14:

The TNT press release indicates that there will be "10 summer episodes" of R&I this season, but Sasha has since tweeted HERE and HERE (edit: and HERE and HERE), as did Angie HERE that there will be 15.

It appears that either the press release is inaccurate or Angie and Sasha were misinformed. Another theory, based on the "summer episodes" wording, came out of the fact that if R&I is shown every Monday from July 11 onward the season will finish on October 17th. Many fall shows begin in mid-to-late Sept., so the theory is that TNT may be referring to 10 of the episodes as "summer episodes" and the remaining five as "fall episodes." Watch this space.

5. Rizzoli and Isles (TNT): Police officers Angie Harmon and Sasha Anderson return for a second season in July and I can't wait. Anderson was tremendous on "NCIS" during its first two years and is perfect in her role as a high-brow medical examiner working with street-wise detective Harmon.

Blast from the past: Angie in "Park Cities People"!

From Park Cities People:
As we’ve been thumbing through old newspapers to research our “30 Years, 30 Stories” series, we found this picture of Angie Harmon, which was published on our Oct. 15, 1987 front page with an article about the Highland Park High School sophomore appearing on the cover of Seventeen magazine. (Her reward for beating out more than 63,000 girls for the honor? A 1987 Pontiac Fiero.)

Harmon, of course, went on to further fame and fortune as an assistant district attorney on Law & Order. These days, she’s switched from the order side to the law side, playing a detective on the horribly named Rizzoli & Isles. We tried to do a “where are they now” piece on her, but our messages with TNT’s publicity folks went unreturned.

However, I can tell you where she is now. Harmon, husband Jason Sehorn, and their three daughters live in North Carolina. I know that only because Harmon is on the cover of the latest Lucky Kids, a magazine my wife is receiving to fulfill her subscription to the beloved but canceled Cookie.

Remember when Sehorn proposed to Harmon on The Tonight Show? (You’ll just have to remember it, since I can’t find the video online.) Sometime after that, I was standing in line behind them at the AMC Glen Lakes box office, and I remember hearing Sehorn order tickets for “one adult, one student.” I don’t know who was eligible for the student discount, but I love that a pro football player married to a TV star was frugal enough to ask for it. A penny saved is a penny earned.

TNT announces summer schedule!

Via press release:
TNT Announces Summer Schedule,
Including Season Premieres of The Closer and Rizzoli & Isles
And Series Debuts of Falling Skies and Franklin & Bash

TNT has unveiled its summer schedule, including the Monday, July 11, return of basic cable’s top two series of all time: The Closer, starring 2010 Emmy® winner Kyra Sedgwick, and Rizzoli & Isles, starring Angie Harmon (Law & Order) and Sasha Alexander (NCIS). TNT’s summer lineup also includes the network’s two newest series, with the two-hour Sunday, June 19, premiere of the science fiction drama series Falling Skies, starring Noah Wyle (ER) and produced by DreamWorks Television and executive-producer Steven Spielberg, and the Wednesday, June 1, premiere of the light-hearted legal drama series Franklin & Bash, starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar (NYPD Blue) and Breckin Meyer (Road Trip). Also returning this summer are the TNT original series Men of a Certain Age, Leverage, HawthoRNe and Memphis Beat.

Rizzoli & Isles – Premiere: Monday, July 11, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT) – Season 2: 10 summer episodes
Last summer, Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander proved two heads are better than one in this drama series based on the crime novels by best-selling author Tess Gerritsen. As Boston detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles, the pair share a quirky chemistry and put away some of Boston’s most notorious criminals.

Last summer, TNT ranked as basic cable’s #1 network in delivery of its targeted adults 25-54 demographic. The network also grew its overall audience delivery for the summer by 6%. Leading the network’s growth was the Monday night pairing of The Closer and Rizzoli & Isles, which combined to make TNT the first cable network ever to claim two original series with more than 8 million viewers. Leverage scored growth in its new Sunday night timeslot, while HawthoRNe and Memphis Beat ranked as cable’s top Tuesday-night scripted series among women 25-54.

Article: "Keep your heart where your feet are."

From monstersandcritics.com:
Former Law & Order star Angie Harmon has revealed that she left Hollywood for the sake of her children – because she wanted them to 'hold on to their innocence longer'.

The 38-year-old actress appears on the cover of the spring issue of new US shopping magazine Lucky Kids with two of her three daughters – Finley, seven, and Avery, five.

'I wanted the girls to grow up in a slower atmosphere and hold on to their innocence longer,' Harmon says of her family's move to North Carolina.

'I want them driving home from college to say, 'I can't wait to get home; it's going to smell so good, and I'm going to fall asleep on the couch'.'

Harmon's children are a long way away from college age. In fact, her youngest child, Emery, is just two years old.

All three girls stay in North Carolina with their father – former US football player Jason Sehorn – when she is filming her TV series Rizzoli & Isles in Los Angeles.

Harmon says she follows her friend, and fellow TV cop, Kyra Sedgwick's advice when it comes to being a working mum.

She says: 'She said, 'Keep your heart where your feet are' – meaning if your feet are at work, keep your heart at work.

'I think women worry about where we aren't.'

"The 'Rizzoli & Isles' actress would look hot in a potato sack."

Another SAG Awards fashion review, but a great one!

From Celebrity Clothing Line:
We’ve been calling for feathers in our Spring 2011 fashion forecast for weeks now – and at this past weekend’s Screen Actors Guild Awards in Hollywood, one of our favorite fierce actresses, Angie Harmon, proved us right. Before we take a look at her feathery frock, we have to admit that the “Rizzoli & Isles” actress would look hot in a potato sack. But in her bold, baby pink Monique Lhuillier confection, we’re even more smitten!

This fluffy frock, although not everyone’s personal taste, shows just how sophisticated feathers can be. In fact, we think Angie’s loud look is downright chic – and even though pale pink isn’t a red carpet favorite, this Lhuillier look was styled to perfection. Angie opted for a simple and understated low ponytail and natural, dewy skin for the night. Her quiet hair and makeup made a powerful statement against her elaborate dress – and kept her whole ensemble looking pretty and polished instead of prom-night-disaster. To mimic the look, remember to keep hair and makeup simple if you’re wearing a statement gown. It’s important to let one bold element stand out – in this case, Angie’s Monique Lhuillier dress – rather than force it to compete with a complicated, curly updo.

Angie also kept her accessories to an absolute minimum, opting for only a single-strand bracelet and stud earrings. If she wore a glitzy bold necklace or giant drop earrings, it would have been impossible to see the delicate sweetheart neckline of her gown. When wearing a dress with bold features like feathers and an embellished bodice, remember to keep jewelry and accessories simple.

If you love the feminine touch feathers look, but are weary of a full-length gown, try a feather accessory the next time you wear your simple little black dress. Try a feather detail on your evening bag or even a feathered shoe to ease your way into the trend – and remember to let your statement piece shine.

"Rizzoli & Isles" season 1 DVD to be released on June 28!

From discdish.com:
TNT’s newest female cop show (after the fun and popular The Closer), Rizzoli & Isles debuts on DVD on June 28 from Warner Home Video.

The TV drama ended its debut season last year with high ratings, and its not surprising as it stars Angie Harmon, of cop TV pedigree Law & Order, and Sasha Alexander, of cop TV veteran NCIS. It also stars Jordan Bridges (TV’s Conviction), Lee Thompson Young (TV’s FlashForwad), Bruce Gill (Law Abiding Citizen) and Lorraine Bracco (TV’s Sopranos).

The television series follows, natch, Rizzoli (Harmon) and Isles (Alexander), a detective and forensics expert, as they solve crimes and try to ignore the problems in their personal lives. The show is based on the Rizzoli & Isles novels by Tess Gerritsen.

On DVD, Rizzoli & Isles: The Complete First Season will be a three-disc set priced at $39.98.

It will include all 10 episodes from the season, but no news yet on special features.


The DVD will be released timed to the series’ second season premiering on TNT in the summer.
