    He didn't take the name from that show, or the movies. I can't remember what it is in reference to, but it is not head-hunting immortals.

    The Highlander tv show wasn't bad, but it certainly doesn't belong among the shows on this thread. Sometimes very good. Sometimes very funny. Sometimes really stupid. With the exception of the original, the movies are all shit. The straight-to-Sci-Fi channel one that came out most recently was one of the worst things I have ever watched. Not even enjoyable as campy fun. Just plain bad.

    I really need to get the DVD collection of Battlestar Galactica Season 1 which includes the miniseries. I enjoyed the entire run, but that first season was fantastic.

    As much success as Michael Mann had with Miami Vice, he made another show called Crime Story that was really good. Dennis Farina was one of the stars, and some big time people guested in it (David Caruso, Kevin Spacey, Gary Sinise, Ving Rhames, Miles Davis, Stanley Tucci and a host of others).

    The first season is the only one worth seeing, season two sucked something awful because the show shifted sites.

    Crime Story was great and had a great opening song.

    Not my show. The Highlander was my high school's mascot.

    I would second the first two years of NYPD Blue, in which Caruso absolutely carried the show. Of all the various combinations, Caruso and Franz were the best mix as actors.

    Also, harder to find, but the first 3-4 years of Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere are quality TV. St. Elsewhere had an amazing cast.

    I don't know about Caruso and Franz being the best. Smits was really, really good.

    I thought Caruso left after only one season. I agree with Bodie. I thought the show was at its best when Smits was on it.

    In fairness, he probably picked that name in high school and had no choice but to stick with it. There can be only one SJ handle.
