Detroit 187 - ABC Network

[ScottfromTexas]

All those White people causing crime in Detroit. Blacks are the victims and they even had a Hebe street cop with a huge nose. Wanna bet who produced this was a JEW?

[PistolTeacher]

Wait. Detroit is 90% black. How come all the perps are White? What about the "White and Crazy" comment at 0.34? How about Negro and Crazy?

PC bull.

[datruffhertz]

First, 1-8-7 is California police code not used in the D. Second, not even a third of crimes are solved. Third, the D is a 'black hole'. Fourth, the state of Michigan pays out more than it collects to these Hollywierd studios. F the D.

[muzikbiz001]

1-8-7= murder death kill.

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

So I just finished watching Detroit 187. What a fucking joke!

Of course they couldn’t be honest about the demographics of the crime in Detroit because that would be politically incorrect. It would be racist if you actually showed the truth because it would highlight very distinctly the fact that Detroit is a BLACK hellhole like all the others. It’s not mostly white like the show would have you believe.

[TheMidcoast1]

Reminds me of an episode of Hill Street Blues...lol! So let's clear up some things b4 you all start thinking that the unrealistic parts in the show are true. First off ppl in Detroit dont wear GOLD TEETH! They DO like to say "What up Doe" old school translation " But what up though" outsider translation, "Hi ..How are you?" and since recently, Detroit officer's were intimidating to look and didnt play...most were big, black, strong, smart and had swagger..not corny lol!!. I luv Detroit!

[GangstaGriIIz]

funny as hell... too bad the black guy died :(

[1976tech]

This is dumb as hell. Im from detroit and by watching this you would think you were watching something in NY. We dont say soda in the D.

[greanbedhead2]

my dad was a stunt double for the indian guy

[meneedmoney]

I enjoy the show, especially living in Detroit and hearing the references to the city...I do wish theyd clen up up tho...its good but kind of cheesy and the coedic relief makes it kind of corny...could have been more polished but il be tuning in nontheless...

[muzikbiz001]

@meneedmoney cheesy as hell. lol

[boxxxah]

the scene when they were finding " bullets" on the curbside, pickin an choosing what caliber left behind .. hmm that is Detroit

All in all I thought it was good, not as harsh as our daily news ..

I like the Show ... the mention from the one officer - this isn't Ferndale He was right we will have to wait and see .. I know I was glued watching.

[26Deacon]

this is a good ass show & funny as hell too. much love from Chi-town to Motown. CHI-CITY!

[Vaminos413]

what is 187?? I LIVE IN THE 313!

[espinoza2110]

@Vaminos413 cali murder code for police

[mbenzsl2000]

@Vaminos413 its police code for homicide in Cali.

"cuz its 187 on an undercova cop" ...

this is why kids shouldnt listen to pansy ass hip hop and rap of today...

[Gaskin2008]

@Vaminos413 187 is a police code for homicide...

[boxxxah]

@Vaminos413

Its the district within - the Homicide division .. not a area code

educate yourself, it makes you stronger .. peace no hate

[subziroe]

This is a joke website later punk!

[subziroe]

This website only approves insults towards black people. porchmonkeys is a foul reference towards black people because monkeys are brown in color..get it?

If a black person makes a reference: maggots are White) then it needs to be approved. What a joke website. No true battle, every thing here is manipulated

I see thru white people like a plate glass window.

White people created racism,

Even it my post does not get approved by mr. racism at least I know the moderator has read it. ha ha

[codename617]

Michael Imporelli reminds me of Michael COnnelly's Harry Bosch in a way. without the mustache.

[hurleyOC]

fuck this show det. 187 lol whats really the penal code for murder over there? stop copying califrornia but what can we say nobody does it like southern cali every body once to be like us i mean they copied the penal code for murder and this just aint for detroit is ALL of the u.s

[bretony]

yea yea yea, when is law and order svu coming on...

(lol, im from detroit, but nothing takes the place of my svu!)

[nhra76]

@EdgarD8387 my thoughts exactly

[212dreams]

Michael Imperioli exhausted his sopranos money too quickly...

[TheDogRibs]

more tough talking sarcastic self-rightious cops. just what we need. they're the heroes while the real poverty of Detroit and real social issues are simulated into this illusion to keep the masses distracted and indoctrinated with the idea that the police help this society. No progress has been made since we first started glamorizing this occupation in the days of Adam 12.

[DJphairose]

um i think someone stole all the characters from Dexter

[johncp1989]

LMAO I'm in detroit and This show is so fake it aint even funny.

[Velix515]

michael imperioli, what are you doing starring in an ABC show... he should've gotten in another HBO show or like gone to AMC (breaking bad and mad men, good shows) or some other channel that allows you to swear

[NickandCharlieShorts]

no matter what. He is still Christopher Moltisoniti to me.

[AVP2Ftw]

187=murder/death/kill over police radio right?

[laxluver456]

fuck stereotypes. detroit's an awesome city.

[angelogcs77]

Hey, that's Spider right there! (Goodfellas)

[MxrKronik]

Welcome to Detroit nigga Murder Capital

[BellumSacrumBellum28]

Another black crime drama about blacks terrorizing Detriot with their drug and murder. Just what a wholesome family in America needs to see. Niggers being typical niggers. We know it already.

[princeofyemen100]

if u live in detroit thumbs up

[DickThicky]

@princeofyemen100 - I disagree!

[oxsideswipexo]

too many porchmonkeys in this show

[halliezmandy]

@oxsideswipexo wow thats hurtful

[kazalack]

@oxsideswipexo OMG...I think the same way except with ignorant racist on the internet...now go be a good little race hater and play in traffic.

[subziroe]

@oxsideswipexo Oh I get it porchmonkeys are brown and maggots are white.

[ePsil0n74]

OH YEAH WHO NEEDS THE AUTO-INDUSTRY, HEY I KNOW LET'S PORTRAY DETROIT AS MURDEROUS, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA, ENFORCING ASSHOLE STEREOTYPES

asdf

[massahole9]

@ePsil0n74 you obviously dont live here

[TheBombOnPS3]

@ePsil0n74 umm look at all the csi shows based in various cities in the world, and to be fair detroit does have a fairly high crime rate. i live in troy michigan just sayin

[jokerwillwin]

1:50 Dam, Natalie Martinez is one of the finest women I've ever seen....I'm watchin this show just to see her...lol

[CharlieMansonIsGod]

@jokerwillwin ya natalie martinex is unusally hot for some reason

[doodaboo123]

I'M FROM DETROIT LOL I DON'T KNOW WHAT PEOPLE MEAN BY THE ACCENT

[TheGreenPlague]

Detroit is a cesspool. The hipster yuppies who live off mommy and daddy all bought cheap property and suffering businesses and now claim the city as their own. Immigrants from around the USA who wanted to live in a 'piece of art', but are in over their heads. I dont see how a tv show chronicling the crime will help.

[P0ko4Sh0]

Thanks for making Detroit look shitty. Even though it is, you are condemning the hope we have to change the city. Nice one, media!

[NoYouShutUpDad]

OH MAN TO ENFORCE THE LAWS U GOTTA BEND THE LAWS

[NoYouShutUpDad]

Detroit has such a disgusting history of Pig brutality its a damn shame that the first show to be made about Detroit has to be from the perspective of a Police Unit. And god it being aired on ABC, I can't wait for all the boring white people to be convinced that this is Detroit.

[nonphixional1]

187 refers to the california penal code for murder.

[claudetterotary8]

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[msmiche1000]

I don't see Christopher! This show looks good.

[TitaniumByFire]

I saw a promo featuring each individual character, and there is this scene where this black woman takes offense to a neighbor calling her about her kids loud stereo. Isn't that messed up, a cop takes offense about somebody complaining that her kid is disturbing the peace, and her excuse was..."teens just play their stuff louder". Fucking palease. ..........

[TitaniumByFire]

...........Yes, he's a kid, and kids don't have the full maturity to understand things all of the time, and that's what a parent is for, sheesh. Anyways, people of legal age do it all of the time too, what's their excuse ? That's why society is in the damn toilet, because even parents can't act like responsible adults, and in Detroit neither can one who's a cop obviously. This show I feel will skew the realities of why detroit is the way it is while glamorizing and instilling the ills.

[Lonewolf3000X]

Oh hell yeah,cop show in Detroit ,I must watch,and plus spider is in it!

[Femicide09]

Tony would be pissed if he knew Christopher was a detective.

[lildwayne21]

Hello Detective Ariana Sanchez. Damn, she's hot

[TheWatcher2k10]

just when the rest of the state of michigan couldnt be more angry at blacks.... after this lol

[MissDeeCole]

Detroit 187: Minorities with badges---and Christofah from Sopranos

[ConnectionLost71]

every time I go to Detroit to skate, I never see any cops. wtf *minds fuck*

[diamlierx]

the only thing they got right is fat fucking detroit cops eating food and not solving crimes,and yes this shit should have Dennis Franz tay,tay diggs and be on hbo or showtime not abc

[Blueberry40]

If they pull the plug like they did to Flash Forward, they are screwed.

[m100p]

@jaydub8907.exactly. with the accent comment

[RUSH1200]

THE GHETTO......

[VenisonFajitas]

of course it's scripted. detroiters are not this attractive and don't have new york accents.

[GMITCHELL1966]

This is a new Crime Series that is being filmed in Detroit. I have drove past some of the seens when they were filming in different parts of Detroit.

[OBAMASTINKSLIKEANAPE]

@GMITCHELL1966 Apparently the other crime seen is the education you have drove past.

[cottoncandychic]

i dnt even know if I wanna watch this even though i live on the east side. they just gonna show all the bad parts of Detroit and make us look bad.

[MissDeeCole]

CHRISTOFAH

[Mangina9000]

My ninth nose job runs this town and you better remember that!

[noyesa]

@KentCountyMI That's not even true. It's 50/50. I successfully graduated high school so I manage to say Meijer, Kroger, and Ford without pluralizing them and I also say "Deh-troit" because "Dee-troit" is a pet peeve of mine, and yes I'm a local. It all depends. If you have an obnoxious Michigan blue collar accent then maybe, but it's certainly not how everyone says it.

[mililpup]

@noyesa They aren't plurals, they are possessives - Mr. Ford's company, Mr. Meijer's store, Mr. Kroger's store - just like Field's in Chicago (Marshall Field - no "s") and Bloomingdale's in New York (the brothers Joseph & Lyman Bloomingdale).

[mililpup]

Hey, noyesa - they're possessives, not plurals - Mr. Ford's company, Mr. Meijer's store, Mr. Kroger's store - just like Field's in Chicago (Marshall Field - no "s") and Bloomingdale's in New York (the brothers Joseph and Lyman Bloomingdale).

[smileysandflowers]

Detroit, Michigan... Bitchezzzzzzz!!

[BBPLBAINE]

@smileysandflowers yor a sucka, get your dome peeled back in the d

[exmgx]

q.q your right Major Network always cancel all these new shows ..." looks at flashfoward"

[cinerama62]

The premire show was filmed in Atlanta, Ga. Most of the scenes, not all. Goodluck ABC and welcome back to T.V. Michael Iimperioli.

[Nachtmusik02]

Kinda wish the actors have a little Detroit accent in them. :-P

[cinerama62]

@Nachtmusik02 The reporter from The Detroit Free Press wrote about that in todays paper. lol

[jaydub8907]

@Nachtmusik02 I'm from Detroit and I have no idea what a Detroit accent sounds like, lol

[Nachtmusik02]

OMG... it's so crazy that I recognize all the scenery. I live in midtown Detroit. It might explain why there were so many camera crews this summer. Too bad I don't have TV. Maybe it'll be an excuse for me to get a digital converter because this looks promising.

[karonmckay]

they already fucking up not one nigga in DETROIT have gold teeth just little shit like dat ruin it 4 me it should have been a documentary they bout 2 have white drug dealers slanging on 7mile yea rite.

[bagwaninthong]

@JimmyJimJim8282 hell yea! i seen them shooting the new harold and kumar at somerset mall

[OverlyElaboratePun]

It's nice that it is being filmed in Detroit, but not a single one of those actors sounds like they're from Michigan. They'll get laughed out of Detroit if they ever pronounce Lasher incorrectly.

[podandpol]

like every good new show, it will probably be canceled like all the other cool shows on the major networks.... Sorry people i have little faith on when it comes to these "MAJOR NETWORKS" to keep anything on the air for more then 1-2 seasons. They keep saying on past shows that there were not enough viewers, only like 2-3 mill. (SMH, Duhh) you mean to tell me thats not enough??

[podandpol]

I feel bad for the writers and everyone who works hard to bring us decent entertainment just for it to be snuffed out by a "Major Networks" extremely high statistics review. We all have been let down before. get attached or don't, but don't be surprised if we all love the show and its gone after the 1st season (if that).

[Escobar9300]

"CHRISTOPHA!!!!" Nice to see Imperioli back on TV, Going from a heroin junkie on the Sopranos to a Homicide Agent on this show is a big leap, but he can pull it off.

[tangymilk]

This show looks like one bad motherfuc..... I better shut my mouth.

[gianthairysasquatch]

I think I might have driven by a scene they were filming if they were there in early August - saw a foot chase of a perp through a vacant lot off John R. just a few blocks north of Comerica Park : cameraman chasing the cop! - either that or it was an actual criminal pursuit...

[juggla56]

THATS FUCKIN BAD ASS!!!

[tylenol2k7]

It looks interesting enough. I usually stay away from network cops shows but I might check this out.

[salsa2good]

lol it's jojo from bad boys

[GTBurns48215]

I was an extra for two eps, I want to see this show succeed because it means WORK to the area.

[krisp8888]

@GTBurns48215 it would help Detroit out!

[AXISOFHENDRIX]

Each week- the Chief of police will be played by a different actor.

[plopocob]

on the preview airing on the ABC network, does anyone know what the song is?

[cinerama62]

@plopocob "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" by The Temptations

[knileb96]

the real detroit cannot be shown on network t.v. They should have done a HBO show like the Wire. Its too real in Detroit, to sugarcoat it and try not to cuss and show real violence. The show will not be authentic.

[junedeon]

@knileb96 I absolutely agree. In fact, I already have a problem with the fact that it's called Detroit 1-8-7: it irks me when I hear California police code used in TV shows and movies set anyplace other than California. That just adds up to lazy screenwriting. The thing that was great about the Wire was that Baltimore was damn near a character itself. All this looks like is a standard cop drama with the D as a backdrop. I better hear somebody say "What up, doe" in the 1st show.

[Pearlofthewest]

looks like it has potential; i will check it out......go D

[Gunde]

Gritty drama just doesn't work on network tv. Imagine the drug dealers going 'dang' and 'shoot'.

[tylenol2k7]

@Gunde lol. That would suck.

[brianalyn13]

CAN'T WAIT!

[joeslaps1]

This show can't hold The Wire's jock, so what's the point?

[Eastsider313]

@joeslaps1 not to offend anyone, but I think the Wire was made more for the African American Audience . ABC wants Detroit 187 for the all around viewers. Just my Opinion.

[biohax]

@joeslaps1 because it's in detroit, bitch

[hmvx3]

I'm not too interested about it being a scripted drama, a real documentary series would make more sense. The truth is stranger than fiction sometimes. ABC puts out the worst shows ever, predictable and cheesy. Hope the writing and acting can stand up! I don't know what all the fuss is about it being set in detroit, I'm a metro detroiter and I'm excited. Detroiters hold a sense of pride to be from the city, but none of us are blind to its problems.

[juleonflux]

This was not the original trailer; they removed the funny quips. The first being about the homicide board..."we just might be the last assembly line in Detroit." Another line, "This is what happens when you look for bullets in Detroit." Looking at this version of the trailer, I wouldn't be interested at all. Sorry Detroit, the cat is out of the bag! Detroit is long past trying to cover up it's dirt. Just own it and laugh at the ridiculousness of the histrionic and mendacious media attention.

[luke4611]

Looks a lot like Southland....which is an awesome show. However the whole mocumentary thing where the characters acknowledge the camera doesn't look too apealing to me. Although it does look very grity by showing the ugly side of Detroit which I like. No offense Grim or anybody from Detroit

[IHeartTheClique1223]

@luke4611 They've changed the set-up. It's no longer a mockumentary series.

[chuckers40]

The series premiere of "Detroit 1-8-7" will premiere Tuesday Sept 21 at 10:00pm on ABC.

[ComedianDooDooBrown]

exellant!

[GRIMSREVENGE253]

Why am Igetting a bad feeling about this...is it because I already know it's going to try to make my city look 10 times worse then people already think it is. Did they even get permission to do this...ICE CUBE song TRESPASS....GRIM.

[rpsmith014]

@GRIMSREVENGE253 i don't think they got permission from YOU to film in YOUR city

[TetraVaalBioSecurity]

I'll be checking it out just to see J. Michael Muro's awesome cinematography.
