I remember Det. Munch from the _Law & Order_ shows, which I watched regularly, and knew the character originated from _Homicide: Life on the Street_. At the time there was no way I knew of to watch earlier episodes of the latter show, so I’m looking forward to see the origins of the character.

You’re in for a real treat. It’s long been one of my favorite shows.

On the original network run, there were a couple of crossover stories with “Law and Order.” A story would begin on “Homicide” and conclude on L&O. When “Homicide” was shown on Court TV years ago, the L&O episodes were omitted. Does anyone know if the crossovers been included this time?

Just signed up for Peacock _just_ to watch Homicide. I’ve been waiting for years to watch it again.

Hands down, the best crime show ever.

I’m starting season one tonight.
