Cold Case: Preview of Episode 6.14, "Brush Man"

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 06:00:00 GMT

On the last episode of Cold Case, the team investigated the 1988 murder of Philadelphia news anchor Jane Everett. After being found strangled in the park in the middle of the night, they discovered that she was just about to report on a huge scandal about a local factory's fatal asbestos level. As it turned out, the news of the show jumping to number in the ratings because of her didn't sink well with his co-worker Mort.

During the flashback, we saw the victim, who arrived late, telling the producer to get a real story. Meanwhile, there was something wrong with the teleprompter prompting Everett to think that someone may have manipulated it. As everyone scrambled to fix the thing, Everett still managed to pull it off without the need to go to commercial. Later, however, Everett was found dead. Fortunately, someone found a footage of her getting a phone call while taping a special report, which happened around six hours before the murder.

Cold Case: Preview of "Breaking News"

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 07:00:00 GMT

Last week on Cold Case, the team investigated the 2007 murder of good-natured auto mechanic Ed Dubinski whose life changed after he won $8 million in the state lottery. Dubinski was found robbed and shot to death in an empty lot, which, for the first investigators, looked like a robbery gone awry. They eventually discovered that the killer recently used the poor man's (well, not really poor-poor) ATM card at a local sandwich shop which led them to reopen the case.

Upon closer look, they found out that Dubinski was a had-working guy who played the lotto every week religiously, when his dream turned into more of a nightmare after his win caused him his life. As it turned out, he blew all the money within a mere six months with the help of a corrupt business manager, a gold-digging fiancé, and family members that couldn't seem to get enough of dole outs from Dubinski. With a cast of suspects, Rush and the rest of the team were finally able to crack his ATM PIN that lead them straight to the killer. Also, Valens needed to reexamine his relationship with Frankie as he met an obstacle that he didn't feel they can overcome.

Kate Purdy only started working as a writer for CBS' Cold Case this year, but this has not stopped her from joining the show's writing veterans on the picket lines for the ongoing writers' strike. In fact, she's currently serving as a strike captain, organizing a group of 50 picketers each day.

At the root of the strike, Purdy said, is the “huge impact” of the world wide web. "We're asking for 2.5 cents on every dollar they make from revenues resulting from shows being downloaded on the Internet,” she explained, adding that the “unfortunate thing is we can't even get the CEOs to negotiate or listen to any of our proposals. They seem to be hoping we'll cave without them having to give anything."

Cold Case: Fall Preview

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 07 Sep 2006 17:44:02 GMT

Cold Case Cold Case is procedural CBS drama that sees a team from Philadelphia solve crimes that have remained unsolved for years. Every episode acts as a quasi period piece as we flashback to the era in which the given crime was committed. As far as procedurals go, Cold Case is as gimmicky as any, following their formula to a T week in and week out. However, unlike many of the grittier crime dramas, Cold Case is generally uplifting. -Oscar Dahl
