Crime Time TV (Updated)

I started a discussion yesterday about NBC's new shows Andy Barker, P.I. and Raines. After their premieres last night, I've added my reaction. Feel free to add yours.

I didn't watch Andy Barker, but I watched Raines because I like Jeff Goldblum, and I like it more than I expected to. I was afraid it would be a Medium clone, but it handles the I-see-dead-people business in a fresh way. I love the twist at the end -- the ex-partner Raines has been going to for advice turns out to be dead too. The motive for the murders didn't make the least bit of sense to me, but I enjoyed the rest of the show and hope the mystery aspect will be better written in future episodes.
