  • The Main caracfer of Memphis beat seeems to have a more visual “life”, with talents and quirks that dovetail perfectly with his “job”. It is one of the most refreshing shows that have come along in a long time. The music mix is also very much appreciated

    and ditto on Jason’s versatility as an Actor.

• Why is it filmed in New Orleans? Doesn’t make any sense.

  • Huge tax incentives in Louisiana and professional production crew/facilities/equipment in place Memphis doesn’t have so they also save money not importing those. Same reason anything set in Seattle isn’t actually shot in Seattle but Vancouver.

• I love this show. I am so glad its been renewed . I hate having to wait to 2011 for another season however. I love the shows ending and Jason Lee[s rendition of Elvis tunes. the show has a real authentic feel of Memphis

• I loved this show this summer! I watched it every week. I am soooooo glad it is coming back. Jason Lee can really sing. I look forward the songs he sings he does them so well. I wish it would come on sooner than next year though.

• This is great news! I had heard that TNT was really on the bubble about rewewing Memphis Beat because the ratings had allegedly dropped dramatically after the premiere episode. I have turned quite a few people on to this excellent show and I’m glad to say that many of my friends are really big fans of it now. Way to go, TNT! Now if the word of mouth gets around about Memphis Beat it will have an even more successful second season!

• I understand Jason is not really doing the singing (bummer). It’s Mark Arnell. The fact that Jason isn’t the crooner was a bit disappointing at first, but I am now over that and continuing to enjoy his great acting. It’s hard to believe Jason’s the same actor from “My Name is Earl.” His range of characterization is outstanding.

• This show is so great and even thought it is filmed in Louisiana, it still makes me want to move to Memphis.Love, love the music, love the more mature actors and so thankful everyone is not a look a like dressed in 2piece suits, like some of the other cop shows;. Keep it down home and keep up the good and funny scripts.

• Fantastic!!! Woohoo!!! Absolutely love this show!!!!

  (If I remember correctly, though, the actor is lip-syncing.)

• I am so excited to find out that Memphis Beat will be back in 2011, even though I don’t fit the age demographics, as I am a 61 year old woman, but what the hey. This show appeals to all ages and the laidback style and comfortableness of the show really makes it enjoyable. The music is awesome, no matter who’s singing. Thanks TNT for giving US, the viewers, what WE want.

• Does Jason Lee have a CD out of the songs he sings on the show. I think his versions are so full of emotion.

  Thank You,
