    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Everything about Homicide: Life on the Street was stellar. Then the producers went on to The Wire.

Wait so they just yoinked a character from a completely different show and shoved him into L&O?

I had to look this up and apparently the character Munch is in:

  • Law & Order
  • The X-Files
  • The Beat
  • A Very Brady Sequel
  • Law & Order: Trial by Jury
  • Arrested Development
  • The Wire
  • 30 Rock
  • Sesame Street
  • Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

yea munch was featured in some crossover between homicide and the original law & order, so when homicide got canceled in 99 they offered richard belzer a spot as munch on svu since it was in the works at the time and he was already in universe
