If you don't know Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson, you should. You can meet her on Thanksgiving day, when TNT plans to air a season one marathon of The Closer. That's 13 episodes in a row of the overly-friendly, but-just-a-little-bitchy "Thank You" that Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) delivers so well.The Thanksgiving marathon is in preparation for a new, two-hour episode that airs December 4th. In it, Brenda is called upon by the CIA to assist in an "off-the-record investigation of a would-be defector found murdered in Los Angeles." Johnson has to find a link between the death of a KGB agent, several CIA agents, a young terror suspect and 20 pounds of missing plutonium. The second hour of that episode, called Serving the King, is directed by star Sedgwick's husband, Kevin Bacon.
Also, following the special, two-hour event, season two of The Closer will air every Tuesday night at 10 pm starting on December 5th.

This is one of my favorite shows but plutonium?
Why Tuesdays at 10? That night is already killing me at 9 with House, Veronica Mars, and Criminal Intent. 10pm will be SVU and a tryout for 3lbs. How about Thursdays at 9? Yes, I know the episodes are repeats but it is more entertaining than anything on cable that I currently watch.
