Country Joe & the Fish -- Vietnam song

Crime Story Jumped the Shark Bigtime

Just finished watching 44 episodes of the Michael Mann series Crime Story from 1986. 36 hours and 36 minutes of Dennis Farina and Anthony Dennison.

And I think that they were preparing for a 3rd season.

I wonder whether the writers of the last 5 episodes are the fathers of the writers of Prison Break - the absurdity quotient skyrocketed to Prison Breakesque levels. Don't get me wrong, I loved Prison Break, but come on, it was a totally absurd show.

For example, Ray Luca (Anthony Dennison) was responsible for the Tonkin Gulf Incident that started the Vietnam War in earnest. No wonder it has become a cult series!


Note: The last five episodes (on my legal copy of the 25 Anniversary set - bought & paid for) are out of order. The last episode on Disk 8 "The Hearings" should be the first episode on Disk 9. The first episode on disk 9 "Byline" should be the last episode on Disk 8. See imbd.com for the correct listing. Was a little strange watching an episode- at first I thought it was a flashback episode.

Enjoy Country Joe and the Fish- uploaded in next post.
