When you mentioned a "do***entary", did you mean the episode "The
Do***entary" or the PBS Special, "Anatomy of a Homicide"? As for "The
Subway" (The D'Onofrio Episode), you are probably right that it was
the best episode in the Series' run, but for the behind-the-scenes
special it did seem to work.
You might have a point regarding owner****p of the boxed sets, but it
is still worth it to own them, anyway. With the original single-season
sets, the Law & Order halves of L&O-H:LotS crossovers do not exist,
unlike the Megaset, where they do. Having said that, within less than
a day of buying the Megaset, I had already watched one of the
Crossovers. So it is still woth the investment. Also I forgot to
mention that as a part of the "Filing Cabinet" there are corresponding
index cards for each season set that briefly runs down that season
(1&2 are on the same card), as well as a seperate card for the Bonus
Disc. The list price of the set is $299.99, but I got mine for just
over $200. (I hate to sound like I'm gu****ng over the Megaset, but I
am.)
Speaking of the Sleuth Channel, I might be switching cable companies
in the future, and my current cable company doesn't carry it their
channel line-up. So I have a few questions: How is Sleuth, and how
often do they air Homicide episodes?
I hope we can keep up the dialog here, when and where we can. Just my
$0.02 for the day. Later.
