Missed this news. He directed the "All Through the House" episode of Homicide (written by Henry Bromell) that I watch around Christmas most years.

Also the HLotS episodes: "Colors" & "The Hat" & "Justice, Part 2" & "Deception" & "Brotherly Love" — some memorable episodes in there (IYKYK).
Peter Medak, the Hungarian-born director who guided Peter O’Toole in The Ruling Class, George C. Scott in the classic ghost story The Changeling and Gary Oldman in the crime thriller Romeo Is Bleeding, died Tuesday in Los Angeles, his family announced. He was 88.

L&O: SVU is still on, really? They didn't have to do him dirty. I quit watching over a decade ago when they decided to reduce & push out Munch. This is why Homicide: Life on the Street is superior. 😁 I'd say watch HLOTS ASAP but it's not streaming anymore. Get the DVDs! 📀

HLOTS was every bit as awesome as The Wire. If anything, it was moreso because it was first.

Had a blast talking Homicide: Life on the Street with the Homicide: Life On The Set podcast. From PA to actor to staff writer, and how it all led me to Japan. Also teased my next feature, Polaris.

I'll say it aloud.
The Wire, Treme and Homicide: Life On The Street are masterpieces of TV.
HLOTS the book is wicked good, too.
I'll say it aloud.
I want Canada to win this trade war.
I want them to kick the living shit out of us.
I want them to do it fast, imposing pain on American economic sectors, making clear the costs of misrule to our voting citizens.

Things will have to get worse before we make them better.

Dead. Wish we had Peacock just so I could rewatch HLotS. Sigh.

Contrast that with the first L&O/HLOTS crossover where everyone wants to get the bad guy, but there are conflicting agendas. Frank wants the guy because of a connection to a case that haunts him. Frank's interrogation techniques piss off the NY DAs because it gets evidence thrown out.

And an Honorable Mention to Michelle Forbes as Medical Examiner Dr. Julianna Cox on the great HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET. She's wonderful in the role, and I think of her in HLOTS before I ever think of her as Ensign Ro.

Besides, she said no to DS9 but YES to HOMICIDE. What does that tell you?

This is a problem for sure. I also want to be able to call up clips of HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET at will. I was hoping HLOTS finally coming to streaming would lead to a lot of clips on YouTube, but no go.
#GoTeamVenture #BoomYummy
i should be able to google any line of dialogue from the venture bros and have a clip appear like the simpsons. i am constantly needing clips of venture bros dialogue

Sorry if I was coming in hot. It’s just a pet peeve of mine how The Wire gets all the accolades for things HLOTS did first. 🙂
March 19, 2025 at 3:52 PM
It's called the Board, and it's from Homicide: Life on the Street, not The Wire. HLOTS used it first. Respect where it's due. 😊
March 19, 2025 at 12:06 PM
BTW, the show ran for seven seasons on NBC (Although the first & second seasons are abbreviated) and HLOTS is currently streaming on Peacock.

OK, the basics on HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET (or HLOTS as I’ll refer to it from now on)… It’s about a Homicide Unit in Baltimore, based on the book HOMICIDE: A YEAR ON THE KILLING STREETS, written by journalist David Simon after he spent a year with the real life Homicide Unit in 1988.

I've been enjoying the hell out of this podcast. If you're any kind of fan of #HomicideLifeOnTheStreet, you should be listening.

And if you're not a fan of #HLOTS, you need to fix that. It's streaming on Peacock right now!

OMG—Homicide: Life on the Street is streaming in Canada for the first time! Finally get to re-watch my favourite show from the ‘90s. Very sad to watch Pembleton with a cigarette in his mouth in every scene, tho. #HLOTS

… along with Homicide Life on the Streets. Out of curiosity, where are you with HLOTS, Jackson?
January 16, 2025 at 7:45 PM
Without doubt, it’s this 👉 Homicide: Life on the Street.

A predecessor of The Wire, also set in Baltimore & by David Simon.

Sky Atlantic/Now TV have started reshowing it. It’s even in UHD. Don’t miss it.

It’s bloody brilliant (& also darkly funny in places).

I realize this is a deeeep dive, but I've been re-watching Homicide: Life on the Streets & was reminded of an old, ongoing crossover fic between HLotS and... maybe The Big Easy? iirc it was called "Badged and the Breathless", very deliberately soapy, and written by 2 different women. Ring any bells?
