The Pembleton-Bayliss friendship was the best part of a great television show. Here's one conversation of many between the two that made the show memorable. Homicide: Life on the Street.
The journey these two took was crazy. Then the finale in the Homicide movie was heart breaking. I own the complete dvd set. Includes cross overs with Law and Order plus Homicide the movie. I didn’t know there was a movie. It was a great surprise.
There has not been a police procedural like this before or since. Not as flashy as NYPD Blue which I also like, or as high-profile as Law & Order with its inspiration from real life cases, but it is as close to perfection in that genre as you are likely to get. The writing and acting are consistently excellent, and the dialogue in even the most seemingly mundane scenes is superb, as the above scene shows. Accept no substitute.
Ahh… Hill Street Blues, anyone?.. It’s only the greatest television drama of all time?!.. And the one everyone is mimicking.. Although this show put a different spin on it..
@@jacobjones5269 I also watched HSB, but that 'spin' that you speak of is why this show holds such a high place in my heart. Nothing has come close to it for me. And nobody was ever like or will ever be like Frank and Tim.
