My 'Crime Story' tribute

Here it is.

From the opening reverbing electric-guitar notes to the neon and '50s cars 'coming to life' in the Chicago night you are hooked! And it lives up to that promise. As Richard Zoglin wrote, it was 'the most realistic TV cop show in years'. Not only is it a classic tough-guy story about vengeance and two men out to destroy each other but a good look at America right before the late '60s ruined everything. There was lots of evil but the good guys were still in charge. The world was a better place when Torello worked in the streets.

Nice site, YF! Crime Story has always been one of my favorite all-time series (except for the final season cliffhanger episode--I'm still miffed at Mann for that fiasco!:eusa_doh: )...thanks for the cool site! I've got the DVD collection, and watch it regularly! :)
