Cold Case stars Kathryn Morris (Minority Report, Mindhunters) as Lilly Rush, the lone female detective in the Philadelphia homicide squad who finds her calling when she's assigned to "cold cases" -- crimes that have never been solved. Previously, she used her instinctive understanding of the criminal mind on current murders. Now, she's interrogating witnesses whose lives and circumstances have since changed, making use of today's new science and finding fresh clues to solve cases that were previously unsolvable, all of which appeals to this smart, driven detective. She's also prepared for the consequences: that her work will open up old wounds and may lead suspects to commit new crimes. When she hits a dead-end, Lilly seeks advice from her respected mentor, Lt. John Stillman (John Finn, Catch Me If You Can). Also on the team are Det. Scotty Valens (Danny Pino, The Shield), Rush's confident and strong-willed partner; Det. Will Jeffries (Thom Barry, The Fast and the Furious), who's been around long enough to serve as Lilly's link to the past; and Det. Nick Vera (Jeremy Ratchford, Angel Eyes), a tough cop who's considered the go-to guy for getting a confession. Lilly makes it her business to ensure that no victim is ever forgotten. On the show's third season, former narcotics detective Kat Miller (Tracie Thoms, Wonderfalls, As If), a young and spunky girl, joins the team.

Cold Case is created by Meredith Stiehm (ER, NYPD Blue). Executive producers -- in addition to Ms. Stiehm -- include such reigning entertainment industry names as Jerry Bruckheimer (The Amazing Race, CSI), Shaun Cassidy (Invasion, The Agency), and Jonathan Littman (The Amazing Race, Close to Home).less «

• Rush & Valens?

  Hi everyone, What do you think of Rush hooking up with Valens? I think they make a cute pair - just like Sam & Martin in 'Without A Trace' Tell me what you think.

  I just found out from kathrynmorrisfan.com that Eddie Sacarrdo will be back in season 7. He will be starring in at least three starting with episode 3."Det. Lilly Rush turns to her former lover in a time of need - this despite the fact that Saccardo is still undercover and close to cracking his big narcotics case" it says. I don't know what every one will be thinking but I am going to hate this. She needs to find some 1 else and not him. He will just break her heart. I want him gone for good. :( Hope he leaves this season and doesn't come back. less «

  I don't know about the other viewers, but I like Frankie. She is efficient, smart, sweet. I'm glad to see that, aparently, she is gonna be in the next episode, but I hope it's not her last appearance. I hope we can see more of her in the next season too.;)

  Should they cancel Cold Case? hide « show »

  I think not! It's a great show and the cast doees a great job. CBS would be stupid to get rid of this show. It's the best show still on TV now a days! It's better than them "everyone can tell it's so unrealistic" CSI shows. The episodes are always good. They should just move it to another night. I love football [ Philadelphia Eagles :) ] but sports are making the ratings slow. I know you would never get rid of sports, I wouldn't either, but you should move Cold Case to another night next season. Cold Case

  I love Cold Case. Check it out if you're not a fan of it. hide « show »

  Cold Case, is my favorite show, love the cases. Me and my mom always try to guess the killer, it's like puzzle and the music is totally awesome! If you're not a fan you should def check it out on CBS sundays @ 9. I just started watching it this past season and i fell in love with it. The cast is phenominal! I think it's way more realistic than alot of other shows. Even the humor is great and i hope the show gets a few more seasons in before they let it go. It's just an all around great show!

  Great writing, interesting characters, heart-rending stories... all this and the terrific backdrop of Philadelphia make "Cold Case" must-watch TV! hide « show »

  I'm throwing in my two cents after hearing whispers that "Cold Case" is in danger of cancellation. Not because it's suffering with low ratings, but because CBS wants to cut costs. Well, there are a whole bunch of ways to do that without removing one of the bright spots in their amazing lineup (like FINALLY ending the yawners "Survivor-East Bunghole" and "Amazing Race".... but I digress!). I understand that there's a reason Baskin-Robbins makes 31 flavors, but everyone has a favorite. And "Cold Case" is one of my go-to choices, like "CSI" & "CSI-New York" from CBS. The writing is taut, the characters an interesting mix, from the beautiful but damaged Lily Rush (Kathryn Morris) & her partner, Scottie Valens (Danny Pino), to the underappreciated supporting crew like the stern but supportive Lt. Stillman (under-utilized John Finn), old vet Will Jeffries (Thom Barry) and the hysterical antics of Detective Nick Vera (the talented Jeremy Ratchford). And the whole thing is enhanced by the terrific backdrop of Philadelphia - an amazing city of history and grit that is such a tremendous departure from the standard, boring choices most shows stick to, like New York & LA.
  
  In a landscape where so much is available between cable and network fare, this show stands out as different, engaging (using terrific music backgrounds to augment the story), and intelligent. One can only hope that if CBS makes the wrong decision and decides to let it go, that another network is smart enough to bring it home. They won't be sorry, and legions of fans like myself will find another week of emotional storytelling that quite often brings tears and sobs. It's quite the show that can do that, and in a way that makes you want to come back for more! Long live "Cold Case"!

  9.5 Superb

  Centering around detective Lilly Rush,Cold Case accounts for the whispers of the long-since forgotten dead. Backed up by a team of cops, Lilly interviews suspects who are years old, prying at old wounds and opening the new. hide « show »

  Alright, first things first: I'm a kid in your eyes. I don't know anything about good TV, right? Yeah, I get that a lot. But I must say Cold Case is quite the show. Whoever thought of the idea, to reopen the cases of the forgotten dead? What is it like, to stand in a room that seemingly goes on forever, all lined with shelves upon shelves of documents, giving unheard voice to the accumulating mass of forgotten dead? Everyone is shut into a box, only given a box by their city, Philly, to remember them by. Careless detectives smush your case to fit perfectly in that manufactured box, and careful ones only work on it for so long. Then someone else is murdered, someone else with a different killer is called to their attention, they are forced to forget about you. All this registered in a second upon entering the room in Cold Case with all the square boxes lining shelves. But worst of all, there is nothing personal about you there, nothing but your name and a serial number. No matter how kind or sweet or smart or talented you were, no matter how much everyone loved you, you are nothing in the eyes of the government. Nothing. I enjoy, in Cold Case, how Lilly seems sensitive to that. I like the way she interviews, understanding everything, and how she relates to nearly every case she works on. She works hard to assure that those forgotten dead aren't forgotten. Guided gently by Lt. John Stillman, helped along by Nick Vera, Will Jeffries, Kat Miller, and (of course) her faithful partner Scotty Valens, Lilly investigates the 'cold cases' in a fast-paced, entertaining way that makes you bite your nails, wondering what's coming next. This show is truly superb and I admire it greatly. I especially recommend (in order starting with the best, but don't watch in this order):
  1) Saving Sammy
  2) Rampage
  3) Fireflies
  4) 8:03 a.m.
  5) The Woods
  6) Mind Hunters
  7) Saving Patrick Bubley
  8) It Takes a Village
  9) Sabotage
  10) Detention (a.k.a. All Apologies)
  11) Joseph
  12) Shuffle, Ball Change
  13) Static (a.k.a. Scarlet Rose)
  14) Andy in C Minor
  15) The Road
  Thanks for sticking with my review all the way through. I know I can go on and on a bit. :)

  Nesse episódio temos um very cold case: 50 anos atrás. hide « show »

  Nesse episódio temos um very cold case: 50 anos atrás. Tão cold que as cenas da época são apresentadas em preto e branco, coisa que eu não gosto - não estou surpreso porque esta não é a primeira vez…
  
  A investigação trata mais uma vez de um caso sobre negros. Não sei porque mas eu gosto de quando é abordado este assunto na série. São sempre um dos casos mais interessantes, não que eu tenha ficado emocionado mas faz a gente refletir um pouco de como um black man or black woman viviam naquela época e como as coisa hoje em dia são tão (ou nem tão) diferentes. Não foi nada como o episódio 03 desta temporada,"Wednesday's Woman", mas eu curti bastante.
  
  Will ainda esta se recuperado do tiro que levou e Nick começa a se interessar por uma nova casa, aliás, o caso o leva a isso…
