I agree. I miss the early characters, like Jon Polito & all his conspiracy books about Lincoln & Kennedy, & the character played by Daniel Baldwin. (He really grew on me.) Ned Beatty was fine, too, but the staff said he became a pain in the ass right away. (Something about wanting lots of time off to travel back home. Family issues, no doubt.) Kyle Secor (Bayliss) showed up as the husband of Geena Davis on "Commander in Chief."Oh well, it was a fun ride.

Yeah, it's really a subjective thing, but Homicide was more to my tastes.

AFAIK, it ended up with C4 here in the UK basically funding it. One of the best crime drama's ever imho. The camera work in particular is fantastic, which is why I'm "borrowing" the opening sequence to show a film group for young people I'm a worker at. Great example of editing and camera angles. My mum used it to teach my media studies class 12 years ago when I was in S3 (13-14 years old), and I'm going to be using it now lol!

It's debatable, but I'd put my money down on Homicide.

What show was better The Wire or Homicide: Life on the Streets?

I watch the show on the Sleuth Channel, and it is absolutely brilliant. I remember NBC not giving this show a lot of credit back in the 90s, but now I see just how well-written it truly is.TV could use another show like this.

I have never seen a better theme to any show,this is the best by far.

That's what made Homicide stand out for me. Every character had his or her own demons, things that chewed on their psyche, that you knew woke them up in the middle of the night. Every other show seems so flat and 2-dimensional in comparison.

By far, the greatest crime show ever.
