Show Review - Las Vegas

Las Vegas definitely earns my title of the best "comeback show" of the season. Last year, it was learned James Caan, the awesome actor who played the most awesome character on the show--Ed Deline--for the first four seasons, wouldn't be back for a fifth one. Fans of the show gasped in horror, believing without question that the show would flounder and fail. James Caan, after all, left big shoes to fill and the writers couldn't possibly write in a good enough new character to replace him, could they?

Its fifth season premiere proved the show won't sink like many viewers expect it to, at least if you go by the show's storylines and characters themselves. Tom Selleck, the big name actor who was brought in this year to replace James Caan, proves to be a fantastic addition to the cast. His character, slightly unpredictable A.J. Cooper, is intriguing and brings a real freshness to this show.

Last year, I only watched the occasional episode, but this year, so far, I intend on watching every episode.
