Product Description Closer, The: The Complete Fourth Season (DVD)An offbeat personality, a tough-as-nails approach and a track record as one of the country's leading investigators: These are just a few of the traits exhibited by Deputy Police Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson. For the Atlanta transplant heading up the Priority Homicide Division of the Los Angeles Police Department, her position on this elite detective squad, which handles high-profile cases of a sensitive nature, is a tenuous balancing act. She faces antagonistic roadblocks, even from her own peers within the department, and must manage a team that remains wary of her unconventional style.]]> .com "Oh, for heaven's sake, it is a head!" The Southern drawl and mild exasperation are by now familiar to TV crime buffs: Kyra Sedgwick's steel-magnolia-with-a-badge, Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson. The fourth season of The Closer finds Sedgwick in super form, as the scattered, ditzy mama's girl with a weakness for junk food and a singular focus when it comes to getting perps to talk. Yet the strength of The Closer goes far beyond just Sedgwick, as formidable as she is. The ensemble cast is also stellar, and very human and believable. Johnson's fellow cops (among whom Johnson is, finally, one of the boys, albeit in frilly skirts) are fleshed-out and battle their own demons. And this season viewers get to know Johnson's fiancé, the FBI agent Fritz Howard (Jon Tenney), much better, along with his "psychic" sister (the unforgettable Amy Sedaris), and Brenda's doting parents, as both families prepare for the happy couple's impending nuptials--if serial killers and terrorist plots will only give them a little break. The boxed set includes the full season, along with delicious extras, including an unforgettable blooper reel (the cast really does seem to have a blast shooting this series, as viewers have long suspected; and don't miss guest star Jennifer Coolidge's R-rated ad lib café scene). There's also an informative featurette with Corey Reynolds (the hunky Sgt. Gabriel) and LAPD Det. Mike Berchem, an adviser to the series; deleted scenes, and more. Thank you--thank you so much! --A.T. Hurley

This was such a great TV series
This was such a great TV series. Not sure why Kyra Sedgwick left the show, but the replacement series "Major Crimes" just was not the same and did not last long. I now own all seven seasons of "The Closer" and these shows are my first "go to" when nothing is on TV worth watching....which is most of the time. All the actors in this show deliver their own unique humor and/or drama to the series. The show is a balance of everything a TV show should be for family entertainment. Another great series on TNT was "King and Maxwell", which only lasted one season before not being renewed. Don't understand that one either as it was canceled before most people had a chance to discover it. Also great characters in that show including Jon Tenney who also played Kyra Sedgwick's husband in "The Closer". He was fantastic in both series.

Hi Quality Entertainment that's Reliable
One of the best shows ever 2 make an appearance on American TV. Realism, character development way past the 2 dimensional, plot twists u don't c coming, episodes that make u cry, & episodes that make u laugh. A deeply flawed protagonist who always gives her all n her tunnel vision search 4 justice, ignoring politics, orders frm superiors 2 bk off & potential bad press. How could u not cheer 4 such an unsullied seeker 2 close the case & bring ea murderer detected 2 justice by obtaining a confession, negating the need 4 an uncertain & expensive trail ? What's there not 2 like ? Haven't seen an episode yet that wasn't hi quality entertainment !!! If only I could give it 6 stars...

Provenza and Flynn lose evidence in a slam dunk case
Provenza is sitting in the catbird seat as he collects $20,000 from Angie Serabian (hilariously played by the wonderful Jennifer Coolidge) for killing her husband. Buzz is recording the entire event in a van with Deputy Chief Brenda Johnson in a restaurant parking lot. Provenza and Flynn buy Angie a nice breakfast before transporting her and all the evidence (camera with tape and $20,000) back to the station. Provenza has even put a theft prevention tool on his steering wheel while they eat. Unfortunately, the tool is broken, his car is stolen and the whole case goes joyriding down the highway. Angie is released and finds her husband has been murdered by someone else. To make matters worse, Polk tells Chief Johnson that Provenza will be out of a job if the case is not resolved in 48 hours. Racing against the clock, the team finds a way to get everything back on track and solve the murder. When all is said and done, Provenza and Polk have a hilarious meeting of the minds. Great episode.

Closer to perfection
This series seems to get better and better..It has the right amount of pathos thrown in with the blackest of comedies.Brenda and her team face a tough season, as they are asked to allow a reporter to tag along, who along the way manages to throw a spanner in the works of the Proirity Homicide unit. Not only this, but a memeber of the team also has to deal with a personal loss, and with all that going on Brenda and Fitz are about to tie the knot.The dvd extra's are a bit dissapointing, as there aren't any interviews with the cast and only a few behind the scenes and a funny gag reel..but having said this it's worth buying..trust me you won't be dissapointed.. and in the word of Brenda Lee Johnson 'thank you..thank you very much'!
