It all started with a tweet:
We are 15 minutes away from an all new episode of@TheCloser_TNT If you arent so excited youre about to scream, we cant be friends anymore!
Clay was back and tweeting with his fans!! The few words brought fans to twitter in a hurry. It was fun reading their responses to Clay’s tweet. BUT…Clay was not finished. After the show was over, he added a few more tweets:
They treat my Brenda Leigh so badly!!! Honestly makes me wanna cry! @TheCloser_TNT @kyrasedgwick
I feel like I am WAY too invested in @TheCloser_TNT I’m so wound up that I’m not gonna be able to sleep tonight! I dont want it to end EVER
My obsession over West Wing PALES in comparison to my investment in @TheCloser_TNT Seriously! I think it is bordering on the unhealthy now!!
Twitter was busy…many wanted to respond to Clay and let him know they understood. Some even reminded Clay that:
Sort of like the way I feel at the end of one of your concerts. 🙂
@clayaiken maybe you now know how your fans feel when your tours and shows are over…sad!!
@clayaiken @TheCloser_TNT – sounds like you are describing your fans. =)
Do you watch The Closer? I do, but I wanted to know a bit more about the show.
According to the website, TV Rage:
The LAPD has created a new division—Priority Homicide—to deal with high-profile murders and incidents. However, the assistant chief gives the job to a former FBI interrogator (and former lover), Brenda Leigh Johnson, raising ire in Capt. Taylor, the man who thought he would be getting the job…and the second highest rank in the department.
Brenda proves to be a contradiction in terms. She is socially absentminded at times; she has an addiction to junk food; her quirks can be annoying; and she can be a spitfire when the time calls for it. But, to the surprise of her team, she is also very adept, sharp, observant, and is a “closer”—someone who can get the confessions and the convictions.
Yes, Brenda Leigh is a brilliant investigator who happens to wear flowered dresses, love shoes and chocolate, and cries over her dead cat’s ashes… maybe some would call her quirky.
The main character, Brenda Leigh Johnson is played by Kyra Sedgwick. She is joined by a rather large cast of characters that include her work colleagues, her family and her lover.
According to Nielsen Media Research, The Closer is seen by between 7 million to 8.81 million viewers each episode.
So far in her run as Brenda, Sedgwick has amassed five Emmy nominations and six Golden Globe nods, winning one of each, and been up for a Screen Actors Guild award seven times.
It sounds like Clay picked a winner when he fell in love with The Closer.
If you have missed the last seven seasons of The Closer, you can purchase the DVD’s of the show, or check the TNT home page. You can probably find the early episodes for free on-line.
Have you seen The Closer? Is it one of your favorite shows?
A quick reminder…don’t forget the Live Video Chat with Clay tonight at the OFC site. It will be held at 8:30 pm Eastern time. See you there!
