New York Undercover (1994–2024)

Best cop duo since Crockett and Tubbs

[16 November 2005]

The three best cop duos were all ten years behind each other. Starsky and Hutch in 1975, Miami Vice in 1985 and New York Undercover in 1995. No other cop duo has come close to these three to this day. Williams and Torres did an excellent job of blending in with the crowd by dressing the way the general public (or the criminals they were going after) dressed. Some folks over looked this and thought the two young cops were rappers. But any police officer can explain the term "UNDERCOVER" and it shouldn't be hard to figure out. Part of the reason the show was dropped is because Mike Delorenzo wanted to direct a few episodes but greedy Dick Wolf wouldn't let him and that led to Torres' character being killed off. Needless to say, if you take away a lead character the show doesn't have a chance. Picture Knight Rider without David Hasselhoff, Starsky & Hutch without Starsky or Hutch, Laverne & Shirley without Laverne or Shirley. New York Undercover could have lasted at least two more seasons if Dick Wolf knew the meaning of profit sharing.

Numb3rs (2005–2010)

Better than I thought

[14 November 2005]

When I first watched this show, I liked it but I didn't think each episode would be good. Now, this show along with CSI Miami are the best law enforcement shows on TV right now. I'm old school so when it comes to law enforcement shows, there will never be any better than Starsky & Hutch or Miami Vice!! But Numb3rs is the first FBI show that I've seen in a while. It's good to see a positive side to law enforcement. They're not all crazy people with a license to kill. Some of them actually have good sense. Charlie is a math whiz times 10 and what he does might open the door to a career for real-life mathematicians to help solve crimes. Keep up the good work Numb3rs!

Street Hawk (1985)

If you like nice vehicles, this one was worth checking out!!

[23 October 2004]

I Remember this show and it was good! I watched all the shows that featured a nice looking vehicle; Colt Seavers' truck (Fall Guy), Dave Starsky's Ford Torino (Starsky & Hutch), Mark McCormick's Coyote 1 (Hardcastle & McCormick), The General Lee (Dukes of Hazzard) and of course K.I.T.T. (Knight Rider). Even The A-Team van was cool. What happened to the good old days?? There isn't anything on TV now that shows off a cool car or truck. Hey, I'd even settle for a skateboard now! I don't understand why good shows like these didn't stay on the air long. With all the cable networks available, you would think someone would pick up one of these shows in syndication. To this day, I'm still waiting to see Hardcastle & McCormick again.

The A-Team (1983–1987)

4 years wasn't long enough for this show.

[23 October 2004]

If for no other reason than representing American troops, someone should be showing re-runs of this program. I remember an episode where the guys helped out the wife of a deceased service member from their unit while eluding the military police. They were experts when it came to disguises, ambushing, surveying and planning attacks. All of which are things that today's military must be effective in in order to be successful with their missions. I wish they existed in real life right now. Who else would be perfect for going after Bin Laden?? That skinny malnourished chump isn't as tough as some people make him out to be. Mr. T could take him down in no time!
