Hell nah... it not only wasn't better, it was absolute trash.

So they also got rid of the Liutenant, sent Yoba and Lauren Velez to a new precinct, added a white boy, a white girl, and had ya mans Tommy from 'Martin' as the new boss. Stripped away all the street/hip-hop vibe of the show, basically turned it into a regular cop show, even put Yoba and Velez together on some romance shyt. Barely lasted a season.

Yeah they cancelled in the middle of that last season...you had to watch the rest when the shyt hit syndication

fukk FOX for what they did to that show

they need to come with the dvd/blu ray release now..ive been waiting 20 years to buy

one of the GOAT shows of the 90s with a classic soundtrack to boot
Breh seriously, no sense that they haven’t released it on physical or streaming. Only thing I can think of is music right fukking it up, but if this was part of the Fox deal with Disney it’s a rap

Watching ondemand right now, it’s really the first procedural show I remember watching. As a kid I only remember a few episodes, but the music is what made the show differ from the others. I can go back and watch all other cop procedural shows and none will have that. Episode one & two have dope ass music through the episode and of course it’s all thanks to Andre Harrell. And to add, the cameos from all acts of hip hop.

there will never be another New York Undercover for this. BET only has a handful of episodes but it’ll do for now.

They did the same thing to Living Single. Fired T.C. Carson, replaced him, only gave the last season 13 episodes and cancelled it halfway through to make room for another show. And their reruns were still doing well in the ratings. :mindblown:

Firing TC Carson was trash, but Living Single fall off after Season 3 was pretty blatant. 1 and 2 were def the show's peak, so with or without TC, it was time to wrap it up.

Interesting. You feel like the show jumped the shark in season four? Because they could have easily ended it after that with Overton and Synclaire's wedding.

T.C. Carson also mentioned that at some point, Yvette Lee Bowser left the show and with the new showrunner, there were more stories that felt more like a stereotypical sitcom. It could line up with when you thought the show fell off because I don't see her leaving after just two seasons.

Yeah, I watched through the whole thing 4 years ago, so it's still relatively fresh. The drop off after season 3 was pretty steep. Truth be told, they never handle the Kyle + Maxie relationship properly. Neither character really grew, so the whole "we love each other but also hate each other too" stuff got kind of repetitive. Sinclair also got progressively dumber as the show went on. They did the same thing with Kenan and Kel, where Kel started off dumb and ended straight up inept.

Great show though!

I didn’t know they had replaced TC Carson on LS :ohhh:. I know he had bounced at one point but replaced? I thought the show ended with him and Max reconnecting, after she became pregnant (he just so happen to be the donor). I know Mel Jackson joined the cast in the later seasons.
