Jesse Stone: Benefit of the Doubt Preview

The gold standard, and aside from Hallmark Hall of Fame flicks, last remaining network TV movie series, Jesse Stone, debuts its latest installment, Jesse Stone: Benefit of the Doubt, this Sunday night at 9 pm/8c on CBS.

For the uninitiated, Stone is based on the Robert B. Parker character, and the movies have been a mix of based-on-novels and new stories. Series star Tom Selleck has the film rights to all of the books and he’s very lovingly adapted the character and the source material into an impeccable set of movies.

I don’t know about you, but not only do I enjoy watching my favorite shows every week but I also love seeing what guest stars are going to show up.

This past week was no exception with some really great appearances starting with actor Ty Olsson showing up as one of the black guards in last Sunday’s episode of Once Upon a Time. Ty is best known for his work on Battlestar Galactica, Men in Trees, Eureka, and the short-lived series Defying Gravity. He has also appeared in episodes of Psych, Hell on Wheels, Supernatural, Stargate: SG-1, and Andromeda.

TV Tidbits: Tom Selleck in Jesse Stone: Innocents Lost

One of the side effects of Blue Bloods’ success is that it ensures the gold-standard movies of the week based on the late Robert B. Parker’s Jesse Stone book series will continue to have a home on CBS. Tom Selleck, ever savvy, made continuing the series a component of his deal, same as he did over at NBC when he booked Las Vegas — he had to be allowed time off to shoot the films. This series of TV movies has been around since 2005, and I love, love, love them. Innocents Lost, the seventh film, premieres on CBS tonight at 9 pm EDT.
