it still engaged in some ridiculousness, like when David Caruso was the leader of an Irish street gang. It was more The Warriors than The Wire on some occasions, really.
lol i watched an episode last night and nearly shared a similar image. were there actual irish gangs that dressed like they fell off a box of lucky charms?
hill street was so much better than NYPD Blue it's ridiculous.

Nutty IMDB Trivia About Veronica Hamel:
In 1972 she and her then husband became the new owners of Marilyn Monroe's Brentwood home. They hired a contractor to replace the roof and remodel the house, and the contractor discovered a sophisticated eavesdropping and telephone tapping system that covered every room in the house. The components were not commercially available in 1962, but were--in the words of a retired Justice Department official--"standard FBI issue." This discovery lent further support to claims of conspiracy theorists that Marilyn had been under surveillance by the Kennedys and the Mafia. The new owners spent $100,000 to remove the bugging devices from the house.

Decades is showing a smattering of episodes this weekend. They're currently in the midst of a Season 3 arc about a black man getting killed in custody (by a racist biker in the next holding cell BTW), and holy shit they could have shot this yesterday.

This show is streaming for free on Channel 4 in the UK. I dip in and out, having watched most of it as a kid when it first ran, and it rarely feels dated. I mean, the fashions, etc, have changed, but its hard edge remains an acme of a certain kind of TV.

They've skipped ahead to S7, and they just ran the Mamet episode, which lives up to reputation. It's so Mamet they brought back Lindsey Crouse and gave her some great scenes with Dennis Franz! Only needed a bunch of gratuitous swears and a Rickey Jay or William H. Macy cameo to achieve Full Mamet.

Robert Prosky (with a full monologue in that Mamet episode) was the original Shelley Levene (Jack Lemmon’s role) in Glengarry on Broadway.
