On July 11th, CBS will premiere a summer show called Flashpoint, which has me somewhat excited for two little reasons:
Amy Jo Johnson and Enrico Colantoni.
You may not exactly know those names too well, so I’ll ’splain. Johnson played Julie on the original J.J. Abrams series Felicity back in the day, although she only lasted a few seasons. I always loved her character on the show and was bummed when she left for awhile.
Colantoni was on Veronica Mars most recently, but might be known mostly for his role on Just Shoot Me.
I love both of these actors and they’re starring in Flashpoint, a CBS series from Canada about a big city elite police force:
“Flashpoint” is an emotional journey into the tough, risk-filled lives of a group of cops in the SRU (inspired by Toronto’s Emergency Task Force). It’s a unique unit that rescues hostages, busts gangs, defuses bombs, climbs the sides of buildings and talks down suicidal teens. Members of a highly-skilled tactical team, they’re also trained in negotiating, profiling and getting inside the suspect’s head to diffuse the situation to try and save lives.
It sounds pretty exciting and could be a fun series over the summer. And the fact that Johnson and Colantoni will be in it makes it that much sweeter.
It’s filmed on location in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and is a production of Canadian CTV.
Here are some photos from the pilot episode:

I’ll watch it!
Veronica’s dad and the Pink Power Ranger!?! I’m totally there.

Dang Porter, I had no idea Amy Jo was the Pink Power Ranger, rotfl! Hilarious
No way, really? It led to one of the best jokes that first season of Felicity. There was a costume party and Amy Jo dressed as the Pink Ranger.

Okay, maybe I knew that and forgot…I’ll have to ask the wife if we knew that
Jina says you are wrong…Ben hooked UP with a Pink Power ranger in that episode, but Amy Jo dressed up like a cat
Crap! Alright, alright. Then Amy Jo made a comment about the Pink Power Ranger costume. Damn my memory!

Good stuff though, great trivia
Anytime you want to fact-check your Felicity trivia, I am your gal!
Except when it comes to spelling it
Booo, you fixed it
[...] CBS’ new summer series, Flashpoint, which starts Friday night. We told you a little about it back in May, but now it’s here and it looks pretty [...]
anyone know what the last song in the first episode of Flashpoint is called?
Dan, did you ever get an answer to your question? I too wanted to know what the last song on the first episode of Flashpoint is called or who sang it. It was beautiful thanks
Great series so far. 2nd episode was even better than the first. Not at all what I expected. I was pleasantly surprised by how it deviated from the action movie formulas. You really see these hostage situations as the human tragedies that they are rather than the normal black and white, “good thing that the bad guy got shot in the end” type story.
My husband & I loved watching ‘Flashpoint’. We miss it. When is CBS bringing that program back on air?
I am trying desperately to find the music of the current episodes of Flashpoint. I cannot find it anywhere so far. I think there have been three or four episodes this season and the music at the end of the shows have been great. Does anyone know who performed them?
I just wish they will make a third season
