UNFORGETTABLE stars Poppy Montgomery as Carrie Wells, an enigmatic former police detective with a rare condition that makes her memory so flawless that every place, every conversation, every moment of joy and every heartbreak is forever embedded in her mind. It’s not just that she doesn’t forget anything – she can’t forget anything, except for one thing: details from the day her sister was murdered years ago. Since then, Carrie has tried to put her past behind her, but she’s unexpectedly reunited with her ex-boyfriend and partner, NYPD Detective Al Burns (Dylan Walsh), when she consults on a homicide case. His squad includes Al’s right-hand man, Detective Mike Costello (Michael Gaston); Detective Roe Saunders (Kevin Rankin), the junior member of the team; and Detective Nina Inara (Daya Vaidya), a sassy, street-smart cop. Being back on the job after a break feels surprisingly right for Carrie. Despite her conflicted feelings for Al, she decides to permanently join his unit as a detective solving homicides – most notably, the unsolved murder of her sister. All she needs to do is remember.
Friday morning I was invited out to Long Island City to watch the filming of this new show. It was quite incredible to be able to watch a show being filmed right in front of me with TV stars just feet away. I was quite impressed.
What was even more exciting was that Marilu Henner was in this particular episode and we got to hang out! She is as beautiful as ever and it was a treat to sit with her and Poppy Montgomery and talk about what we always seem to talk about when us “moms” get together – the kids!
In preparation for this visit to the set I started to catch up on the episodes that have already aired (check CBS.com) and found myself instantly captivated by the idea of a person with total recall of every moment, the ability that Poppy Montgomery’s character has in the show. This is actually the ability that Marilu Henner has in real life, hence Miss Henner’s connection to the production of the show and today’s guest appearance.
The show is #1 in it’s time slot and I encourage all of you to see it for yourself. I always enjoy when the writers bring something different to the table, and in this case, they have found an interesting and exciting new premise for a crime drama!
The show airs on CBS on Tuesdays at 10 pm, EST.
And as always, my favorite part, the paparazzi shots:

Disclosure: I received a gift card for attending the event. All opinions are always my own and 100% honest.
P.S. I found out my parents have been recording this show from the beginning and are big fans!
