There’s good news for Rizzoli and Isles shippers! Just like Law and Order: SVU, Criminal Minds and Cold Case before it, TNT’s hot procedural starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander is about to got into syndication. That means that diehard fans--who’ve likely worn grooves into their DVD sets analyzing the lesbian subtext—might just randomly click on their favorite episodes while folding laundry and flipping channels.

Future generations will think it’s “ridiculous” that gay couples were ever denied the right to marry, says film director Rob Reiner, who has helped fund the court challenge to California’s anti–marriage equality Proposition 8. Reiner made the remark Monday while appearing on Stephanie Miller’s nationally syndicated radio talk show, which is also simulcast on Current TV.
