Tonight the Communist Broadcasting Service (CBS) does have a good show on. I really enjoy the Jesse Stone series. Selleck is a great actor and gun guy. I hope they keep the series going even with Robert Parker's passing. Great books, great TV.

Robert B. Parker wrote the Spenser books, not Robt. Harper. He also had the Sunny Randall and Jesse Stone series.
 
I believe someone else has already taken over Parker's projects, just don't remember who. Google Robert Parker and find a page his fans run and I bet they'll tell ya.
 
Ace Atkins has taken over Spenser, and someone else has taken over Jesse Stone.

For the record, in the earlier Spenser novels, it was mentioned that he carried a 4 inch barreled S&W .38 Special, though the model number was never mentioned.

I reecollect an unnamed .32 in the early books, later a snub .38, a Browning 9mm, and some sort of .357. Parker was sparse with model and make.
 
I'm glad that Tom/Jesse shaved the beard for this one. The shows tend to be depressing, and that helps.

Has anyone seen his gun well yet? I think he favors a .45 auto of some sort in these Stone dramas, unlike the snub .38 on, "Blue Bloods." I think that one's a Colt.

I didn't get a good look at the auto in this one when he cocked it in his car.

Anyone think he's going to date Geno Fish's receptionist? Only good looking babe in this thing, but she looks as if she'd be a conflict of interest.

Our house love "Jessie Stone".
My one question is that the "Town of Paradise" looks to be a fairly large Township, but have only four Officers (including the Chief) and one of the four is a Dispatcher?
 
IIRC Spenser used a .40 S&W in the last book Parker finished.

Read one of the new books written/finished by someone other than Parker. Almost unreadable, weak, dull, pale imitation of Parker, not crisp, no bite, no humor, preachy. :(
 
In Parker's books, Jesse Stone usually carries a .38 snub nose, "because I'm the Chief." In the movie series, he usually carries a S&W 1911.
 
For a while there I was afraid he was going to end up with two morose dogs.

Trooperdan, the ex-con car dealer killed them because the chief was close to figuring out that he was the power behind Fish. Or so I explained it to myself at the end of two slow hours. We could have used a few more seconds of explanation and fewer lonely and wistful dog shots.

I guess that ending leaves the door open for at least one more Jesse Stone movie, but I'm half hoping they don't make it. After the one last night and its predecessor, I am thinking that vein of ore is played out.

Can't help with the guns. I was watching without glasses and everything was kind of fuzzy. But I agree those weren't .308 cases. In the split second they were on the screen I thought they had the proportions of .223s.
