krazykitkatI sometimes wonder if I'm the only person in the world who sees some tv shows...there were quite a few of them during the early 1990s which I wish I'd taped and I'd buy on dvd if they're ever released...and I probably was since they were all cancelled. Does anyone remember these shows, or by some miracle may actually have some on tape?
Under Suspicion: "Karen Sillas is Detective Rose "Phil" Phillips, a woman detective with Portland, Oregon's police homicide squad." Really good police series, with some of the cases stretched over two episodes for more indepth. Karen Sillas was brilliant (and i have this memory of her, maybe in the last episode, singing "I'm always chasing rainbows"), had a little crush on Philip Casnoff, and pretty sure this was the first time I saw Paul McCrane (Romano - ER). He was struggling, working as a detective, while bringing up three little girls after his wife died. He was just gorgeous.
Sirens: series about 3 female rookie cops in Pittsburgh. I only saw the first truncated series, I believe it was Jayne Brook's first major role (and she married the actor who played her partner). I had a soft spot for Molly, the one who was always screwing up. And loved her interactions with Detective Lugo. I have two episodes on tape, so wish I had more.
Missing Persons: missing persons police unit in Chicago, headed by Daniel J Travanti. Would've been Jorja Fox's first regular role (she played a cop who I seem to recall was a victim of domestic violence from her cop husband). Fred Weller was really cute in it.
Unsub: "An expert FBI forensic team that investigates serial murderers and other unsolved violent crimes." David Soul, Kent McCord, M. Emmet Walsh, Richard Kind, Jennifer Hetrick. Very short lived, strange series, but my parents and I *loved* it. The first episode "White Bone Demon" stuck in my head for years.
I fear none of these will ever see the light of day again :( Though maybe by just mentioning them here...I've had a pretty good track record with writing up my wish lists and then having them appear on dvd. I'm still waiting for Christy and the rest of EZ Streets.

I think you are my tv twin :)
