... MOTIVE
ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET
SERIES PREMIERE: ABC presented a sneak preview of this Canadian import on Monday, but Motive has its official series premiere tonight – which, not coincidentally, is the day after the end of the May ratings sweeps. Obviously, ABC doesn’t have too much faith in this new police drama, which stars Kristin Lehman, and comes from Dexter and The Mentalist producer Daniel Cerone. The gimmick of Motive is that we see the killer, and the murder, before Lehman’s investigator arrives on the scene. It’s a new spin on the old, brilliantly inventive Columbo formula, and you can decide for yourself whether Motive lives up to that inspiration. If ABC thought so, this show would have been held for fall. For a full review, see Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes.
