Marcel was great. I especially like the scenes where he and his ex-wife are basically discussing their divorce.

After all, Chicago in the summer is just as uncomfortable as Chicago in the winter

All CBS procedurals run for 15 years, have at least three spinoffs, and recycle the same four scripts.

He hasn’t been around for a while. Also, I didn’t say anything racist or sexist.
