Is it really necessary to include box art pictures for every (hell, for ANY)Homicide DVD release? -Grammaticus Repairo06:43, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The DVD release schedule lists them as "all regions" - I thought they were R1 only? Certainly the first R2 release of series 1 & 2 only came out on 26 January 2007, with none of the other series available yet.Greenpeas20:38, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The summary of the show makes two claims I consider dubious.
In short, tone down the broad claims, and source the most provocative ones, if possible. Keep in mind that "first" isn't all it's cracked up to be, either (what's wrong with "best"?). --Dhartung |Talk20:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It says "He was chosen for promotion to Captain over Lieutenant Giardello by Commissioner Harris, in retaliation for Giardello's refusal to "play ball" over a previous case involving a Baltimore congressman. Harris, when he was a training officer in the 1960's, had once helped out a young Giardello when he was assigned a racist partner that made him ride in the back of the squad car. Harris chose Gaffney for retaliatory promotion because he was a "fat, white cop," very similar to the patrolman Giardello was first partnered with." What episode or episodes mention this? I'm not sure this question helps the editing, but I've seen all the episodes I think and I don't remember this being given as the reason. I mean it sounds correct, and would fit what I saw of the show, but when did they set it out like this?--T. Anthony04:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Season Four has its own heading, but references five and six quite a bit, it's a bit unclear. Seasons Five and Six are grouped together, but nothing in that heading talks about season five, only season six. Having only seen the episodes that tied into Law & Order, I'm not qualified to properly edit it, but someone probably should.Xenon Zaleo00:50, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In the interest of doing a basic trivia clean-up (per Wikipedia's policies), could a "connections to other television shows & fiction" section be made, with references to Law & Order and The Wire put in there and a "real life references" section be made with notes on the Seattle music, people playing themselves and characters named after crew and the like be made? I am not sure if that would be appropriate but it would certainly clean up the random facts sections.--LKAdriaan05:48, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am writingan article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on thetalk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. -LA @16:53, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All of the Wikipedia articles onHomicide identify the TV movie asHomicide: Life Everlasting but I don't know where this comes from. It was advertised as justHomicide: The Movie, which is also how it's identified on the IMDb. Also, the title on the DVD cover and in the opening credits of the movie itself reads asHomicide: The Movie. I think the latter bit of evidence is the most compelling, because it's directly from the source and easily verifiable. I'm therefore going to start changing the mentions of this title.Minaker (talk)19:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Russert & Simon were both journalists, and Megan Russert, introduced in 3rd season, was clearly named to support the guest appearance bringing together TR playing himself in a cameo and his fictional detective sister MR as a regular member of the cast. Is a friendship between TR & DS documented somewhere? My exam'n of search results for
was discouraging, but not exhaustive. Anyone?

The article says there were four of these, but then lists only three of them, and further down in the episode count it only mentions three. If there was a fourth, can somebosy who knows about it include it?Richard75 (talk)17:22, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that's right use of the word. They mentioned Stan being uncommunicative during his suspension and then in the next season stated he'd retired. Beau's suspension was part of what was supposed to make him believable as a "disgruntled cop" to the car thieves. To me "retcon" implies a rewriting of the character's history and I don't think that was done with either one. Am I wrong here?--T. Anthony (talk)07:11, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There are 3 separate references that point atAnatomy of "Homicide: Life on the Street". One with David Simon as the "author", one with Levinson, and one with Theodore Bogosian. Should these all point at the same reference? Or are we trying to cite interviews within the documentary?WikkanWitch (talk)01:04, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose the 'Overview' portion of the article could hold it, like right now, but it seems a little overlong & blocky.Donkey Hot-day (talk)05:26, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Considering that I watched every episode back then and it's one of my favorite all-time TV. shows - I even know most of the shooting locations pictured in the series since I'm a lifetime Baltimorean (plus three earlier generations!!) - Why are there no references / citations about the program published over the 1990s in our local major longtime daily newspaper "The Sun" or it's sister "The Evening Sun" with all their media / features coverage of TV shows especially one rarely filmed in our midst and had lots of local interest???!!! Whoever worked on research / writing / editing this "Wiki" entry article should go back and add some very important relevant crucial source material!!!= D.E.T.(Morrell Park - southwest Baltimore /// Saturday afternoon - July 29th, 2023)2607:FB91:FEB:D1FB:AC39:C3F8:B3FA:B7F5 (talk)21:56, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There’s a lot in this article that should be reviewed to bring it up to better standards, but the phrase “talented but unphotogenic veteran actor Jon Polito” has no place on Wikipedia. Jon Polito was an amazing actor and I certainly didn’t find him “unphotogenic” at all. Absurd. If the intent is to say NBC executives made continued support for the series contingent on several demands, including replacing Politio, whom they considered to be unappealing- then say some version of that.72.207.57.142 (talk)05:42, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
