RIP Richard Belzer
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

On Thursday’s episode of SVU, Fin referred at some length to Munch. I wonder if they knew he was ill and intended this as an homage. —Bob

My favorite SVU character. One of these days, I'll look in on his Homicide: Life on the Streets episodes. I bet he's my favorite there too.

Re: RIP Richard Belzer
For some reason, it seems like Homicide is not streaming anywhere. It was a favorite of mine and had a terrific cast - In addition to Belzer, you had Ned Beatty, Yaphet Kotto, Melissa Leo, with Giancarlo Esposito and Michelle Forbes late in the run, and Andre Braugher who was electric in the role of Pembleton. I have searched for it quite a bit and not been able to find it. One of the best shows of the '90's.SportsFan68 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 6:19 pmMy favorite SVU character.
