The Unit

[Snake45]

I enjoyed Hill Street Blues back in the day, and whenever I get to see reruns, those shows are every bit as good as I remember.

Curiously, very few of the actors in that series worked in other series. Joe Spano's FBI agent Fornell (on NCIS) is the only exception that stands out.

The great Dennis Franz of course went on to become pretty much the "star" of NYPD Blue. He was one of only two actors who appeared in all 12 seasons of it (the other being Gordon Clapp--Greg Medavoy).

Funny you should mention The Unit. I discovered a couple weeks ago that it was now on Hulu. I had favorable memories of the show, so started watching it again. I'm into Season 2 already.

I must have gotten in on the show in later episodes, because of the ones I've seen so far, they're pretty bad, except for the very first one. I compare it with Miami Vice--seems pretty cool at first glance but the plots and action are laughably unrealistic, just downright silly. I'm hoping it gets better.

Meanwhile, I'm also re-watching (on Hulu) NYPD Blue, which I also enjoyed back in the day. Now up to the middle of Season 5 (of 12). What a first-class, superior show that was. Good plots, good dialog, great acting--a first-rate police procedural set inside a first-rate soap opera (or maybe vice-versa). I've now seen over 100 episodes and not a bad one yet.

I also re-watched on Hulu all 6 seasons of Justified. That was another superior show I can recommend highly.

I'll second "Justified". Not enough good westerns made now days and I enjoyed it when it first came out.
I also just discovered it on Hulu and look forward to 6 seasons back to back.

If you like westerns and have Hulu, check out Firefly. It's pretty much The Outlaw Josey Wales in space.

It was okay in the beginning, but when they involved the wives it went downhill fast. And seriously, a commanding office having an affair with a spec ops NCO's wife? It would just be plain suicide, not just career suicide.

I’m betting it occurs more often than you know. In the team’s it literally is suicidal, if you get caught. In the regular military any more if it’s a valuable officer, it’s a slap on the wrist and swept under the table. That happens more than you would think too!!!

I quit watching NCIS New Orleans, NCIS Hawaii and S.W.A.T., mostly because I really don’t care how the latest lesbian relationship is going.
Why can’t these people just put on an entertaining show without pushing an agenda?

It’s Hollywood. Enough said.

I watched The Unit a couple of times. I didn't care for it. If I wanted to see all the superfluous story lines, I'd read a romance novel.

Seal Team is in the same league. Give me a break the star is in his fifties.

Well, at least it has a real former "Operator" on the cast. I didn't know that until very recently.

Doesn't say much about the "former" operator if he lets that sort of BS get on the air.

Yes, I was really excited about it when it first came out and then they started the “Hallmark” story lines. Hollywood can really screw up a TV show that should be pretty straightforward.

I dunno. You can listen and decide for yourself.
