Dettman left the Chicago Fire spinoff series "due to creative difference" as reported by TVLine.

This is the latest changes that the medical drama has gone in the past few weeks.It was earlier this month that Laurie Holden (The Walking Dead), who'd was to play ER surgeon Dr. Hannah Tramble, left the show due to family concerns.

Silver Lining Playbook to Friendship: Playing House "Employee of the Month"

When a friend is going through a rough patch, you tend to be there for them even if they don't think anything is wrong.

This week's episode puts Emma and Maggie in a situation when Mark enters Silver Linings Playbook mode by wearing a garbage bag while exercising in front of their house. This is due to his divorce after last week's incident.

When they invite Mark into their house, he pretends he isn't too busy.
It's like what Emma quoted from Steve Harvey: "When you don't fix your problems, you'll spend time fixing other people's problems." And that's what Mark has been doing from the sink to the roof from which he fell and sprained his ankle.

Mark has been one of the funniest characters in this series. Maggie tells him that he needs to rest and ice his ankle, but Mark thinks he needs to go to the ER, but tIts out the doctor tells him the same thing.

In the meantime, Maggie runs into an old friend from nursing school and gets her thinking of going back to finishing nursing classes. After being named employee of the month at Rosie's, she quits her job and tells Emma she wants to be a nurse.

Emma is all for Maggie to be a nurse because she knows that Maggie has always helped people for a long time.

One of the best scenes in this episode came when Emma and Mark got hooked on playing a video game, and it seemed like their relationship wasn't over even when she was putting her shark toes on him (shark toe is sharp nails).

In the end, Mark seemed to be fine since he went home the following day. But soon after that's all over with, Tina is outside of their house doing the same thing that Mark did the other day, except not wearing a trash bag.

This episode had many hilarious moments, from Mark doing his exercises to telling Emma she shouldn't speak in a Steve Harvey voice. Hell, I couldn't get enough of Maggie talking to her boss that she quitting.

Also, Mark and Emma playing a video game was the LOL moment of the episode.

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Playing House on Tuesday nights at 10/9c on USA, and you can see next week's episode On Demand.

Chicago PD: How long will Lindsay "Check Out"?

After turning her badge in after going down a dark spiral path that had her turning her badge in following the death of her pal and colleague Nadia, Lindsay has "checked out" in the season three premiere, Executive Producer Matt Olmstead telling TVLine.

"She's at a club, drunk," said Olmstead. While her boss/mentor/father figure, Voight is "heartbroken," he moves on and accepts that Erin isn't coming back to the team. But her ex might have a different point of view.

"Halstead's the one who doesn't really want to believe it's true," said Olmstead. He added that Halstead would go far as to confront Erin and tell her, "'I want to hear if face-to-face: tell me that you're done.' She tells him she's done, and he walks away. Her last champion walks away."

So that kind of leads to no romantic rekindling between Lindsay and Halstead. "His only concern is, 'I'm just trying to get her to live,'" said Olmstead.

Meanwhile for Erin, she's "drowning in 'self-loathing'" and having to deal with her mother Bunny, "Who's more than happy to keep the party going because (she) finally got (her) daughter back. It's very unhealthy."

But Lindsay's issue is put on pause as one of the Intelligence team members gets in a "dire straits when Lindsay volunteers with the case. Returning for work, Lindsay "creates a major triangle between Bunny, Lindsay and Voight, because Bunny now feels very spiteful towards Voight," Olmstead previews. "He did it again. He pried (away her  daughter."

But that leads to the question, will Erin remain in the Intelligence Unit? "Offering (Her) service to help out on this case is different than actually getting her job back," said Olmstead. "Gettng her job back is a bigger journey. She has to prove (herself) to a lot of people. She walked away. She handed her badge in."

Shows I Would Like to See Comeback

Weren't we expected and pumped when 24 returned for a short 13-episode special or even Arrested Development? Oh, I bet you're super excited that The X-Files is returning for a six-episode season next year.  It seems like past shows are making a comeback in revivals, and that doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

Better than rebooting a show, revivals bring back the original characters with new and updated stories of what's going on and the challenges they are getting into.

Besides The X-Files, to name the latest show, I figured I would give out a list of shows I hope to make a comeback.

1. Law & Order. 

Yes, I know that SVU is still on the air, and it's gotten better than ever since the changes in characters and storytelling format. But I can't argue enough that The Original is simply the best. It was the show that got the Law & Order franchise going.

There's word that there are discussions about having the show come back, but due to scheduling, the actors are doing another project. It seems that we'll get one down the road. Heck, I do think Dick Wolf is all into it. We do want a Season 21, even if it's a 13-episode or a 6-episode.

2. Crossing Jordan 

It's one of my favorite shows that happen to be on television. Before Bones came on the airwaves, Jill Hennessy, as Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh, was the medical examiner on television who helped solve crimes with attitude. The series had great supporting characters, with Miguel Ferrer as DR. Macy, Ravi Kapoor as "Bug," Kathryn Hahn, Steve Valentine, and Jerry O'Connell as Det. Woody Hoyt.

The series showed that crime-solving drama with an eerie look and sound that drew me into the show in the first place. This show should be good enough to offer 13 episodes. Created by Tim Kring, who's bringing back the series Heroes in a short season called Heroes: Reborn this fall. It should be the only reason to bring it back.

3. Caroline in the City 

The comedy series that was hugely popular in the mid-90s; only lasted four seasons and left us with a cliffhanger that deserves a resolution.  The series started with Lea Thompson as Caroline Duffy, a famous cartoonist living in New York City, dealing with situations and relationships from love to friendship.

The show had an excellent supporting cast with Eric Lutes, Malcolm Gets, and Amy Pietzwhicht made this series hilarious. The series had some funny stories from Caroline dealing with a runaway Thanksgiving Day balloon of her and the beef with Richard and his ex-wife. And not to mention the final moment when Richard came back to see that Caroline was about to get married, which ended with a cliffhanger.

When The Michael J. Fox Show was on the airwaves, I was hoping that, in a path, Michael would interview Caroline Duffy to make a Back to the Future reunion and also a bit closer for "Caroline."

4. Will & Grace 

I know the series had its closer, but who wouldn't want these characters back in a 6 episode season that brought us laughter for eight seasons?

Who doesn't want to see Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Sean Hayes, Megan Mullally, and Shelley Morrison back? This show is in a great lineup with All in the Family and Golden Girls, and they're the only show that has won both Lead Actors and Supporting Actors along with Best Show at the Emmy Awards.

The series is still prevalent on cable, with it being on almost every day of the week, including the marathons. It's a pop culture hit and still shows excellent pop references.

If we can't get a Friends reunion, the second best thing is Will & Grace.


That's my list of shows I would want to see revived. But for a show to come back, it's got to be the right time along with the correct stories and, of course, if the actors can come back to do it. But I don't think any of these actors would say no to not doing it.
