Another "New York Undercover" thread

The Centric network has been doing a marathon on the show all day today. Seems they've been playing episodes from season 2. What I didn't realize is that season 1 was the only season where it was Eddie (Michael DeLorenzo drool) and J.C. (Malik Yoba). I, for some reason, thought it was just them two as detectives for two seasons and then Nina (Lauren Velez) joined the cast. Personally, I loved loved loved the show when it was just Eddie and J.C. I always wondered why there was a need to add Nina to the show. Then they killed Eddie off in season 3, thank goodness I had stopped watching by then, and season 4 was a disaster which after the show ended up being cancelled. Anyway, I just needed to do a little rant. thumbs up!

Where is the first photo?

I like the second photo....never seen this...Michael looks older but Malik looks like it was the 90's. When was this?

DeLorenzo was fine and the reason folks watched. Didn't they make him a drug addict or something? Folks didn't wanna watch after they killed his character. Yoba does nothing for me lol

Michael DeLorenzo was the stuff of dreams back then and they pretty much ruined the show when they killed him off. I kept watching afterwards, but not for long...

I think they killed Michael off because of his attitude. Before season three they were a no show and were threaten to be replaces (everyone received a script with the open episode stated with a funeral for two)......they showed up right away. They wanted a raise from $20,000 per to $75,000 per, nicer trailers, better food and a gym. I believe the only thing they got was the gym. lol!!!!

Was he nice?

My favorite part of the show was seeing the relationship between JC and his son G.

Season 4 was awful. It's as if Dick Wolf went out of his way to get the show cancelled. I hated that Eddie and McNamara were killed off and Lt. Cooper was written out of the show. Couldn't accept Tommy from "Martin" as the new boss. And Season 4's theme song sucked too.

Yup. And he stepped on my toe at the hostess desk and actually was apologetic about it. Alot of public figures/celebrities, whether hot & current or not, can be, well, a lot less gracious lol

...and he had a high, firm looking booty.

I used to have a huge crush on Michael Delorenzo and I remember around 1996, when they had their little actors strike, I was scared as Dick Wolf was getting ready to replace them.

I like Nina and Eddie relationship, and I didnt care for Tommy the cop they added the third season

I was also watching some of the musical guests and I notice a lot of them are no longer with us from Aayliah to Curtis Mayfield to Soraya. Wow.

Interesting, about Nina addition. But I do too at times wish they stick to JC and Eddie, and I read somewhere the ratings were the highest during the show's first season.

Me too.

I was wondering was the rumor of Michael Delorenzo got blacklist is true? I notice he is doing a lot of straight to dvd stuff (nothing wrong with that I mean he gots to get pay) but Malik has done very well for himself and he is already got successful series on Sci-fi and Lauren Velez is still doing Dexter and is currently dating the show's writer. Even the actor who played Tommy that white cop during third season is still doing tv work.

LOL, and also Fox wanted Dick Wolf to killed off Eddie Torres too they want NYUC to be mainstream appeal like Law and Order and was replace by those two actors and added Martin's Tommy. I felt if they got rid of Nina and Lt Cooper and kept Eddie, I think the show wouldve gone on because most people were mainly fans of the two Eddie and JC.

I also wondered is Michael D doesnt like to talk to discuss about his NYUC, I used to follow him on facebook and I viewed his website he doesnt talk about the show as much he even talk about his Showtime old show more.

Compared to Michael, Malik has been working very steady and he gets cast a lot doing supportive roles and plus before Alphas he had a lot of short lived tv shows. He currently got a hit show on Sci Fi and plus he did Tyler perry movies Why Did I get Married.

Alphas is a GREAT show. I'm don't like super hero type shows but really like this one. Good for him!

I know...I thought what is 'Tommy ain't got no job" doing as boss. I liked Lt. Cooper better.
