New York Undercover S2-S3

I was twenty-seven when New York Undercover premiered. I really enjoyed with its popular and fashions and featured singers each week. It was one of the most popular t.v shows. But with shows such as NYPD and CSI, Viewers now know the procedures and process when arresting and charging a person. A deal requires a deal to be made with the public defender not the detectives. The show demised came about when Michael Delorenzo's character was killed off. Now that was not a good idea because it fell apart after that. I still watch the re-runs. It takes me back to a time when a detective show did not get complicated.

I watch TV-series for a long time now, and I can say there are only a few good ones(especially in Germany). Then one day I heard of a new TV-series, it was called "New York Undercover". From the first Time I watched it I knew it was the best TV-series i had ever seen - and it is still, although it is not anymore broadcasted in Germany. I am very sad they stopped shooting it. I hope one day they make a DVD collection of This great TV-series. FSD

My show is gone to re-runs to never be returned. This was the excitement of television on Thursday nights along with the shows that came on before it. The story lines were believable, the cast really bonded, and the music (the bomb) set the mood. Natalies' became a forefront for artists of all genre to show their stuff. The clothes were hip, the acting was excellent (until season 4, that is) and the blend made you come back for more. USA is threading the re-runs to pieces by chopping off scenes to make the hour. Cheap shots to Femme thing and their so called movies make/made watching the re-runs unbearable. I miss those days when 'Lou' was hollering at anybody who moved, Michael was confused per usual with the girls and Malik and Chantel or Sandy was going head to head about something. Adding Lauren to the cast was sketchy at first and then she worked in very well. As for Lapaglia, well, leave it alone. He tried, he had a job for a minute. The ever increasingly new faces (some came back as other characters) was well played in to work right along the toe-to-toe cast of old. Boy do I miss this show. Boy do I wish I had taped them, I would have something to treasure. Dick Wolf you truly messed up a good thing just for ratings and little black boxes sakes.

The three best cop duos were all ten years behind each other. Starsky and Hutch in 1975, Miami Vice in 1985 and New York Undercover in 1995. No other cop duo has come close to these three to this day. Williams and Torres did an excellent job of blending in with the crowd by dressing the way the general public (or the criminals they were going after) dressed. Some folks over looked this and thought the two young cops were rappers. But any police officer can explain the term "UNDERCOVER" and it shouldn't be hard to figure out. Part of the reason the show was dropped is because Mike Delorenzo wanted to direct a few episodes but greedy Dick Wolf wouldn't let him and that led to Torres' character being killed off. Needless to say, if you take away a lead character the show doesn't have a chance. Picture Knight Rider without David Hasselhoff, Starsky & Hutch without Starsky or Hutch, Laverne & Shirley without Laverne or Shirley. New York Undercover could have lasted at least two more seasons if Dick Wolf knew the meaning of profit sharing.

I miss this show so much! It was great until the crew almost completely changed. As soon as Eddie Torres was killed, the show went down hill. The music was AMAZING, too! I would give anything to have it all on DVD. It had a real cool "urban" feel to it, and these guys dealt with some real-life issues in their day-to-day drama. It became personal for them on many episodes. What a great idea for a show this was! Farewell NYU!!!!!!! TORRES (MIKE DELORENZO) MADE THAT SHOW COMPLETE! Peace

New York Undercover was one of those shows that I used to watch religiously, I was 14 when it first came about - but now that I look back at it, I see that these cops were ahead of their time as they were able to blend in with the urban society but at the same time faced tribulations that regular cops would face. But then again, what the hell do I know about being a cop? not much, but since cops have to "do their job" in the urban areas, they have to blend in... The live performances fit in pretty well since it's at some big time nightclub which the cops use for their hangout spot. My problem was that FOX completely started to drag the show toward the end and eventually got it cancelled... thanks for the memories...

Dick Wolf struck gold in this 90s drama centering around the personal and professional lives of two New York cops. Realistic, gritty, clever, and so hip it was almost ahead of its own time, New York Undercover did for inner city minorities what the Cosby show did for middle class minorities in the 80s and 90s: It depicted strong non-stereotypical characters living through reality. Guest stars, particularly musical guest stars, were the punch-line to almost every episode; the smooth buttercream frosting on the cake. And Natalie's was the perfect place to showcase all the talent. Gladys Knight, B.B. King, Notorious B.I.G.--on any given night anyone could be at Natalie's--and you sure didn't want to miss it. In fact, the way the characters flocked to Natalie's provided a fun parallel for the way we all flocked each week to the show. Smiles on our faces, ready to be entertained, wondering what was in store tonight. And who could forget Ice T's non-musical stint as the deliciously criminal Danny-Up? I never have, and probably never will, see a television villain more believable and more entertaining than this one, and the story line he brought to the show was a masterpiece. It was hard to see the show go. Possibly even harder, though, was that last season after Detective Torres was killed off and they tried to revamp the show into something else. New characters, new focuses, a new feel. It had lost its spark, its magic. The lights were dimming, the music had stopped. It was time to go. I like to imagine the season before that as having been the last one. Watching Eddie die, seeing J.C.'s face, knowing what it all meant. Those were the characters we loved and the ones we would miss because we knew them. Dick Wolf, you did something right, and thanks for that. It WAS hard to see the show go. But it's just like leaving the club: it was a wonderful night and you're tired, but that last song is still in your head. And you can't stop singing it.

Go straight to you know where! Go watch Law & Order or Charmed. There hasn't been a real show on since, New York Undercover and there never will be. I don't like that the show isn't running anymore. I don't like that there aren't any episodes available to buy. The way the whole thing went down with NEW YORK UNDERCOVER was wack! Bring The Show Back! Or make it available where people can buy it!!!!

At the beginning it was only detectives JC Williams (Malik Yoba) and Eddie Torres (Michael Delorenzo). In that first season it showed the viewers that it was the first black and hispanic cop show on the history of television. Which also gave the viewers, how we see urban crimes today. The first season played all the latest R&B and urban style of music we listened to. The fashions these cops wore the urban community can relate to and the hip language they spoke. JC Williams played by Malik Yoba was a tough New York cop who had no patients for law-breakers. He is also the father of a ten year old son (G),who he has a hard time raising because of the long hours trying to crack down on a case,and his son becoming an adolescenes. It was difficult for JC because he has a finacee he has to spend quality time with,and had to juggle his personal time around his work hours. As for Eddie Torres played by Michael Delorenzo he had issues of his own like someday owning his father's nightclub (Natalie's)and dealing with his father's drug problem. Their work is overseen by the no nonsense Lt.Virginia Cooper. The second season introduce a new member to the detective duo (Nina Moreno) and she was Eddie Torres partnered while JC was recovering from a near fatal incident. The beginning of that season JC became bitter and more aggressive towards criminals,and his partner (Torres) took notice of that and tries to tell him to lightened up some (due to the fatal homicide of his finacee to which JC felt helpless and knowing the killer is still walking the streets). At the end of the "Brotherhood" episode there was a dramatic seen where Torres and JC fight and Torres letting him know that he is still with him,after JC told him he is still mourning the pain of his murdered fiancee. The second season ended with the new detective Nina Moreno (Laura Velez) as Eddie Torres love interest. By the third season the show became more diverse by adding a third cast member name Tommy Mcnamera (Jonathan Lapglia who is Italian). Mcnamera became Nina's partner till she froze up at gunpoint when a criminal who had Mcnamera's life in his hands. Sadly the third season ended with Torres and Mcnamera being killed off by a couple of bank-robbers. There leaving JC and Moreno transferring to a special unit which the show now suitable to a wall street-like audience. At the end it sucked,but in the beginning the show was interesting.

My favorite show of 90's along with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Malik Yoba and Michael DeLorenzo are very good and underrated actors. It's sad that there's only four seasons. Very interesting TV show and popular urban TV drama, great actors great guests, great drama stories and many more. First three seasons were very good, fourth a little less but solid. You will not be bored, believe that. Each episode of the first three seasons of New York Undercover featured popular several hip hop and R&B songs for its soundtrack. But why was this show canceled? It was probably because of Torres's death. Many of them believe that the events at the end of the 3rd season caused New York Undercover to jump the shark.
