Everything old is new again

[gwyn]

Pimpage: For those of you who've either just discovered Homicide: Life on the Streets or have never left it as a fandom, umbo (used to be shellmidwife on LJ here) has started a new community called homicidereruns. You don't have to be an H:LotS expert; newbies and oldbies alike can discuss the wonder of Andre Braugher and Frankentim or the queasy-cam or why doesn't Yaphet Kotto do something about his hair, along with, of course, episode discussions. (For the... two other The Wire fans on my flist, a lot of the folks involved in The Wire were involved in Homicide before that.)

Thanks for the mention! :-)

Thanks for pointing that out. Probably the last thing I need on my friends' is a another place with interesting insights on a long defunct tv series that I loved, but how can I resist?

Wow. I'm sadly rerun- and R2 H:LotS DVD-deprived. I just don't feel like shelling out for the US DVDs (at this time), but I adored that show. Sniff. Have you seen anything of Braugher's new series Thief?

The discs are pricey, that's for sure.

I've been watching Thief. It doesn't engage me much in a lot of ways, but there are parts of it that definitely are good, and they're all related to Andre Braugher, Will Yun Lee (from witchblade if you saw that), and Linda Hamilton's appearance in the first couple eps. It's interesting that it has the same name as the Michael Mann film -- it has many similiarities, many.
