Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEthan Embry had to temporarily bow out of filming for a few episodes, due to a sports injury. His character (Frank Smith) was said to be away caring for his ailing father.
- GoofsBeginning in season 2, Friday's voice overs at the beginning erroneously reference him and his partner. While this was correct in season 1 when both he and Frank Smith were detectives, in season 2, he is the lieutenant. As such, he was the unit supervisor and would not have a partner. He would supervise solo detectives or teams of detectives.
- Quotes
Det. Joe Friday: [narration] They come out in force, the press. A celebrity gets murdered, the world goes crazy with curiosity. In a way we're like the ancient Greeks, we need our gods to be human. We need to know bad things happen to them too. Just like the rest of us.
- Crazy creditsJack Webb, creator of the series, does not receive screen credit.

Featured review
Well, I liked this show from it's initial outing on Sunday nights on ABC Television. It was in a great time slot, and I liked the chemistry on the show. Plus, the Dick Wolf factor is there. Gritty, ripped from the headlines sort of stories.
But, ABC has decided to tinker with the formula. Change the title of the show, move it to Saturday nights, and remove one of the leads. I liked Ethan Embry, a lot. I'd love to know why he was dropped from the show.
I will continue to watch, as I like Ed O'Neill, and the whole concept of the show. I'd like to see a tie in, perhaps with some of the other Dick Wolf family of shows, like what was done with "Law & Order/Homicide" in the 90's. Tie all four of the Wolf shows together in a week long plot.
Might be fun to see Katey Sagal turn up on a show, too. "Awwww, Pegggggg!" But that might be just too much.
