ABC is premiering a cop show tonight at 9PM ET that is actually a new Canadian drama. I'm trying to find a few new shows to fill up the DVR so I have something to watch on rainy days, and thus I'm going to give this a shot, even though it looks to be a generic rehash of every other cop show out there. However, they can't really go wrong with [URL="http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/14c238728a7bc4.jpg"]Missy Peregrym[/URL], now can they?

[QUOTE]ABC retackles the police genre with a rookie twist on Rookie Blue, a new series that will debut on June 24.
On the show, five rookie cops hit the city streets to do what they do: serve and protect. While battling crime, they also confront the demons in their personal lives to make the grade. Canadian Missy Peregrym, best known as Candice Wilmer on Heroes, headlines as perfectionist rookie officer Andy McNally. She's described as "the soul" of the close-knit group.
Gregory Smith of Everwood fame also stars as another rookie cop Doy Epstein, the thrill-seeker raised by hippie parents. Travis Milne is Chris, a by-the-book cop who is described as "a walking police manual." Alice's Charlotte Sullivan is Gail, a self-serving politico from cop royalty. Finally, Enuka Okuma from 24 stars as Traci, Andy's street smart best friend and a single mom with a six-year-old son.
Fresh out of the Academy, the five cops take on a world where the smallest mistakes can have life-or-death consequences, says ABC. Soon they realize that no amount of training could have prepared them fro the real thing.
In the premiere episode "Fresh Paint," a high-stakes takedown of a suspect goes wrong, and Andy makes a massive rookie mistake, in the process endangering a long-running undercover operation. She tries to make up for it by going face to face with a dangerous gunman who's not hesitant to kill.[/QUOTE]
