A sarcastic, streetwise cop with plenty of attitude to spare. An upper class medical examiner who doesn't quite get the nuances of sarcasm. It doesn't exactly sound like a match made in heaven, but for seven seasons Rizzoli & Isles took on the bad guys in Boston and made it work. Averaging over six million viewers a season, Rizzoli & Isles made crime-fighting look good in high heels and boots, but the high cost of production brought the series to an end on Monday, September 5th.

4 Reasons Why 'Sharknado 5' Is Bound To Happen
The Sharknado franchise has grown from a single million-dollar movie to a series of four films with a massive fan following.

5 TV Shows With Awesome Series Finales
We hate to see our favorite shows come to an end, and while we understand that actors want to move on or the programs have run out of steam, it's still difficult for us.

Vampires are a big draw on television. The Vampire Diaries is entering its 8th and final season while The Originals is heading into its fourth. Even the big screen embraces the undead.

As of May 2016, the film was moving forward with some discussions already taking place as to who would play the title character of Lestat. And let's not forget Lost Boys that is heading down the reboot alley as well. With The Vampire Diaries ending, viewers need another show to get their vampire fix.
