Why Homicide: Life On The Street is amazing.

Bolander and Munch trick a suspect into believing that a copy machine can tell whether the suspect is lying or not.

@codename617 Did you ever see The X-Files episode where John Munch was on that? And, if you were to watch the Homicide episode "A Doll's Eyes", there is a cameo of Mandy Patinken and Chicago Hope. Homicide is one of the rare shows that has crossed to other network shows. Special indeed!

How he kept a straight face is beyond me!!!!

@spirittammyk Wow. BUt that's the cool thing about it you know? COnnecting the shows. Munch used to be on Homicide, Logan who was in L&O:CI for three seasons was in L&O, Cragen was in L&O, Jerry Orbach, Jesse L Martin, Fred THompson, Carolynn McCormick and Leslie Hendrix were the only ones to be in all four L&Os. Not counting LA. I haven;t seen many Homicide eps, but the few i've seen and the clips i've seen look awesome. I have the book i still haven;t read it yet.

@codename617 I'm 33 now. I wasn't into Homicide right from the start. It was when the Sniper episode was being advertised, my mom wanted to check it out, and I stayed up to watch it with her. It was also, during the Homicide/L&O Crossover I became a fan of that show (Jack McCoy in particular.) When Homicide was off the air, I followed Munch onto L&O SVU, and the rest is history!

I love how they used this on The Wire too. David Simon just loved this bit too much because it was based on reality.

@spirittammyk Really? Check him out soemtimes. Look up Best Moments of Law & Order Criminal Intent season 1 to get an idea of his tecniques and characteristics. How old are you now? I myself am 22 and i got into Law & Order in high school and i saw SVU and eventually Criminal Intent. But when i saw the Wire i saw what any TV should be like. On HBO. I know how you feel. I hate going to facebook and reading about how the stupid fans "want eliot back." I mean, i dont wanna see that kind of drama.

[spirittammyk]

@codename617 Never heard of him. I'm just biased on Homicide and Law&Order because, while most 13 year old girls were watching Beverly Hills 90210, Homicide and L&O were MY shows! And I loved it that I was the only one among my peers at the time that knew it existed. Stupid kids, didn't know what they were missing.

@Katt560 You have no argument from me there! (Well i am a McCoy fan,) But i do like Stone. He took it to the heart. All his cases. As for Logan, he's my favorite cop on the whole show. I do think the best detective was Goren, but I got use to watching Logan on CI. That's who i saw as Harry Bosch when i read Echo Park.

@spirittammyk I think that the best detective on TV was Robert Goren. He had the interrogation techniques as Pembleton with a psychological twist and as once Eames had said "is a required taste." DOnt get me wrong, Andre Braugher is a terrific actor and most deserving of his reward. he was very good on last weeks SVU. As for McCoy, it was great that he was part of a show that didn't make a prosecuter a cinical character. Just a person picking up where the cops left off.
