Martha asked is anyone had heard about a proposed television
series based on Easy Rawlins. I haven't, although a share
both her excitement and her skepticism that television could
do anything watchable with the series.
On the other hand, I saw in the paper this morning that Tom
Fontana is close to finalizing a deal with NBC for a two-hour
television movie derived from Homicide: Life on the Street.
The article says he is securing commitments from the
"original cast." Wouldn't it be wonderful if that meant the
cast from the first-year show?
I'm not sure Homicide qualifies as noir, but it certainly is
one of the most hard-boiled shows ever to be on network
television, not to mention one of the very best. Sure, it
declined the last couple of years, but there were still
moments of brilliance.
Any other Homicide fans on this list?
