There were 2 on. The first one was the one where the murderess is trying to get to Fitz and has his son. The second one was was "The mad woman in the attic" which seems to be the first ep.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
OK, the first one is actually the last one (we don't talk about the ddgy Hong Kong one-off - no Panhandle!). Still great. But it's the second season and the first half of S3, with the whole Beck/Penhaligon arc, that's absolutely brilliant.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
So the second one they aired was the very first episode?
If so, I may never be able to leave my house between 1 and 3 again.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Oh! I remember Cracker -- it aired here on A & E, and then there was a pale USian copy that flunked out on a big network. The original with Robbie Coltrane was so much better.
Nutty - have you read the original Homicide book?
Have I read? My fandom goes both deep and wide. It's an entertaining book, and a little creepy to read if you pick it up after having seen and known the TV series for years.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, I loved Cracker. The remake was deadly, though.

Heh. Funniest part of the finale of the series for many Baltimorans (I think it was the finale): two detectives eating their way through Little Italy and Fells Point, IIRC. For locals it was neat how true they stayed to the actual geography and neighborhoods of the city,

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I think it was the finale
Either that or the movie.
So far? My own take is that the original Cracker and H:LOTS were the tw best cop-shows ever. Of course, I'l still waiting to see "The Bill" and it comes highly recced.

The one that made it final final. A couple years ago.

My aunt lives in Baltimore, and watched the show faithfully, like the evening news. She reports that the only time the geography or proper names were ever wrong was the name of the school in the Jerry Uba episode. (The one with the pet pig.) She said it was probably because the school didn't want its name associated with hostages and violence, not a mistake on the writers' part.
This is the "police force" that used to shoot on the streets of Baltimore, and a fleeing purse-snatcher tried to surrender to the cast one day between shots. The real cops showed up in hot pursuit a few minutes later, and laffed and laffed at the poor dumb actors.

Nutty, that's one of my favourite anecdotes about H:LOTS. They sort of referred to it in the episode where in the beginning, Lewis and Kellerman chased a robbery guy down an alley, he jumped into a scene being shot, and Barry Levinson glared and yelled "CUT!"
