I grew up reading Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys mysteries. My nana kept my bookshelves stocked and I loved losing myself in the mysteries and trying to help the characters solve them. I fancied myself becoming a detective when I grew up and, if you think about, being a mom is like being a detective. Who else but a mom can solve the case of the dead catfish? The peanut butter sandwich in the VCR player mystery? (…and yes, those have been real mysteries in this household!)
About The Mysteries of Laura
Debra Messing (“Will & Grace”) stars as Laura Diamond, a brilliant NYPD homicide detective who balances her “Columbo” day job with a crazy family life that includes two unruly twin boys and a soon-to-be ex-husband – also a cop – who just can’t seem to sign the divorce papers. Between cleaning up after her boys and cleaning up the streets, she’d be the first to admit she has her “hot mess” moments in this hilariously authentic look at what it really means to be a “working mom” today. Somehow she makes it all work with the help of her sexy and understanding partner. For Laura, every day is a high-wire balancing act.
I am super excited for the première and cannot wait till tonight! The show airs at 8PM EST on NBC. I watched a few of the sneak peek videos on YouTube and loved them. I watched the pilot episode and within 5 minutes, Laura shoots off the ear of a perp and saves the hostage, takes a wet wipe and cleans the blood off the hostage’s face, throws it in the trash and nonchalantly tells her partner, “I got him.” I frigging love it!
