Does the existence of John Munch mean that The Wire, L&O etc. are in the same universe?

Too bad he was never on St. Elsewhere.

Ah. Where did I get the idea that “S.O.B.s” was it?

I guess I’ll have to watch that scene in “Exit Strategy” sometime and judge,

I hear that John Munch is really Richard Belzer’s secret identity which means were all living in the L & O universe!

Okay, how the hell did I forget that bit? :o

But I’m not sure anything in AD can be taken “seriously.” I say that was Belzer playing another character who was called “Munch” as a joke.

Not, you know, the real Munch who binds universes together.
