This is such a great ensemble cast that it could go on and on. It survived Kyra Sedgwick leaving; don't know why Mary McDonnell had to be killed off, but it could continue. Why not Jon Tenney in the lead as the Chief of Police of that division? There's no reason for it to end. Great people. Great stories. It's proven it's an entity unto itself. Bring it back with a new name.

I thought I'd be sad to see the series end much like with The Closer. But, if I had to endure one more scene with that character, Rusty Beck, I'd seriously consider picking up the mantle from Philip Stroh.

While I enjoyed The Closer and Kyra, her character at times was incredibly annoying, whiney, controlling and selfish. I find I am enjoying Major Crimes more as it is more a true ensemble cast, the characters have been developed more, given interesting background stories. Thank you for continuing their story in this spin off. Love the side story of Rusty Beck and seeing him character grow and change over time.

I don't want to chase a show for 6 weeks. Go back to the original format. Oh yeah, I agree lose Rusty!
