Jeers to Life for casting Donal Logue as Sarah Shahi's new love interest. In what universe are we supposed to believe the greasy-haired, sweat-stained Jimmy the Cab Driver from MTV and Tony Soprano's peyote-fantasy stripper would hook up? It was unlikely enough when Logue wooed sexy Sofia Vergara on The Knights of Prosperity. At least it was unrequited - and a comedy. But why would the captivating Det. Reese fall for the cloddish, much-married Capt. Tidwell? To invoke another Logue comedy, the cop drama's writers should be Grounded for Life.
