    TNT's new Memphis Beat has a great soundtrack and a pretty good cop drama in between.

    The players have all done fine work in other venues, but the story isn't here. The network that "knows drama" needs to step it up a beat.

    This show is SO much fun. A recent episode closed with Jason in a duet singing a song that started, "One night of sin. That's what I'm now paying for." So honky-tonk and amusing! A recent episode that started with a courtroom scene was priceless.… Expand
