What they call a "backdoor pilot became the pilot for The Finder, a new procedural drama on the Fox network when the 19th episode of Bones premiered in January of 2012. That episode has the main characters of the popular series Bones traveling down to Key West, Florida. The main characters must be people we love to see each week and follow along with their lives on the program. Series creator Hart Hanson wanted each character to be memorable and one which we, the viewing audience, want to see back again next week. Episode plot lines include a Cinderella story, including missing shoe, finding a missing father who's airplane vanished in the wilderness of Florida, and lead character Walter Sherman (Geoff Stults from October Road, Happy Town) hunting for bullets from a murder involving a policeman's death from 20 years ago. Also starring are Michael Clark Duncan (The Green Mile, Redemption Road) as Leo Knox, Mercedes Masjohn (Now and Nowhere, Red Sands) as Isabel Zambada a US Deputy Marshall, and Maddie Hasson (God Bless America). The initial episode included a brief appearance from John Fogerty (Creedence Clearwater Revival) who provides the theme music for The Finder.

NYPD Blue is a police procedural drama TV show that aired on ABC from 1993 to 2005.

Gloria Sheppard (Ally Walker from Profiler, Sons of Anarchy) is a detective with the LAPD who has recently become a single mother to two young boys. As with several other female cop type roles currently running on television, Gloria is overloaded between her job and home life, and the men in her life are basically incompetent. She stays up late sewing costumes for her sons then is up bright and early doing her detective thing. Detective Sheppard currently lives with her younger brother, Davey (played by Chris Payne Gilbert from Dexter, Burn Notice) but he's not much help due to being a recovering drug addict and she doesn't trust him with anything more than minor tasks. Sheppard solves some spectacular cases with the assistance of her partner, detective Michelle Dulcett (Tisha Campbell-Martin from Everybody Hates Chris, All of Us). Reminiscent of (although not nearly as tough and outspoken) other TV characters like Brenda Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) on The Closer, Body of Proof's Dr. Megan Hunt (Dana Delaney), and In Plain Sight's Mary Shannon (Mary McCormack) we see Detective Gloria Sheppard as a woman determined to do it all, with or without male companionship. And she does it well.

"The Chicago Code" has nothing to do with deep-dish pizzas or the cruelly cursed Cubbies. "The Chicago Code" openly, unabashedly, plain and simple, is all about good versus evil. The good guys following "The Chicago Code" are very very good, and the bad guys breaking the code are very very bad. The windy city itself, definitely a critical element in the drama's development, lives somewhere in-between. Chicago may be "the second city," but it stands out as America's number one oxymoron. "Hog-butcher to the world," Chicago also brought us Hemingway and Frank Lloyd Wright. Home to Picasso's breathtaking artistic monument, Chicago also has been home to some monumental con artists: Rod Blagojevich comes immediately to mind. "Blaggo" is to Chicago scams as the Picasso is to the city's art and architecture. More to the point of "The Chicago Code," in just over thirty years, thirty-one second city aldermen have been convicted of violent crimes or corruption. In Chicago, graft greases the wheels and gets your streets ploughed. Although corruption may be common as camel-hair coats on the Magnificent Mile, Chicago cops still want to collar the bad guys. "The Chicago Code" attempts to dramatize how and why they do it, and it packs a pretty good punch for a network production. Critics and home-grown Chicago viewers strongly suspect "The Chicago Code" would achieve its completely gritty potential on cable, but it's hard to complain about Jennifer Beals, still fit and fabulous all these years after Flashdance, going balls-to-the-wall against the bad guys in Monday night primetime.
