Ice-T's best role ever was on this show. I actually pulled for him.

I couldn't stand J.C.'s mannish ass baby mom's

Ditto for the Lieutenant's overly emphasized accent. We get it.

Every recognizable Puerto Rican actor/actress has been on this show at some point.:mjlol:

the way FOX did their black shows is deplorable..no fukking reason either
According to the Unsung NY Undercover had, basically FOX was getting Superbowl money for the first time and they wanted that syndication money. The problem was that FOX felt that internationally, other countries weren't gonna be comfortable buying the rights to shows with minority leads. Long story short, catering to minority viewers was backfiring against them if they wanted to hang with the other three big networks. so shows either started getting canceled or they started trying to whiten up the casts (which is what happened here) What ruined that show wouldn't have affected it today. For all we know, without those roadblocks, it becomes part of the Law & Order Universe or it develops its own spinoffs in different cities.

Wolf had enough clout to stave off network changes. He considered the cast ungrateful.

would have a great historical record of black music history

a great way to promo acts on a pop.culture level

that show was an absolute gem & they squandered it

A lot of material to work with too. A 9/11 episode from the minority perspective, rise of West Coast gangs in NYC, etc.
