From the time it debuted in 2003 the Jerry Bruckheimer procedural drama Cold Case has been a solid performer for CBS on Sunday nights — though perhaps not hot enough to garner more than another season.

The show about a squad that tackles old cases deemed "cold" in homicide parlance has proven a showcase for two things: period piece clothing and vintage songs. The program uses music to pace storylines and bolster settings better than any other on network or cable, and has frequently done themed episodes tying a case to the work of particular artists.

I wonder what they mean about the (obviously named wrongly) Scotty & Lilly. I hope it's something good, but with some of the spoilers I read it makes me a little anxious. If the show's ending I want it to end well (specially to the Scotty/Lilly front).

Sad to see the show go tho, haven't been following religiously for a while but it was always nice to know there'd be new episodes to watch.

I only hope if they're gonna cancel the show; they say it in advance.
They could cut costs by using just 1 song at the beginning and one song at the end but they keep using music for almost every single flashback

They utilize music the way they do because it's part of what makes the show so compelling. During the flashbacks you feel like you're actually there, as opposed to just watching it on the screen. Whatever the person recalling the flashback is feeling, comes alive.


I agree it's expensive, but it's part of what makes the show as good as it is.

If CBS cancels it, couldn't TNT take it?

They did that for Southland.
