    Wasn't Profaci the corrupt cop in that one movie featuring Chris Noth as disgraced detective Mike Logan trying to get back as a detective in Manhattan?

    Good call. Profaci and Noth, bring back the old days.

    That was when I first started really disliking Dick Wolf. There was no reason to do that, especially because it's such a stereotype [oh, gee, he's an Italian cop, he must be mobbed up. I'm not saying it hasn't happened in real life, but Wolf didn't have to go that route. And, no, I'm not Italian].

    But speaking of mobbed up [on TV] Italians, I like HB's idea of Imperioli as one of the detectives, especially since The Sopranos is ending. And fwiw, I don't have a problem with Jesse L. Martin, but his current partner can't act a lick, nor can the new eye candyfemale ADA.

    Imperioli is a great call. He's totally believable as an NYC detective, which Jesse L. Martin just isn't.

    I'm going to stick with the premise that this show needs new writers, no matter what the cast. I just got around to watching last week's episode and it was one of the worst - if not the worst - L&O's ever. So heavy-handed and blatantly political. L&O used to do a good job of representing both sides and Jack McCoy never had an agenda (other than to convict a guilty person no matter what). This is like watching Willie Mays in 1973 ...

    I love Jesse L. Martin... in RENT.

    IMO, the show might as well have been canceled four years ago. It's brutal watching it now.

    Now, Robinette back and Jill Hennessy as Claire Kincaid's longlost twin sister and I'm a happy guy.

    I'll cover you on that one. Collins, yes. Cop, no.

    That's Private Pyle. As in Gomer, USMC.
