Damn, this was my show!

I loved how Mtume mixed in current R&B and hip-hop music and also the great live performances at the club. I'm watching a rerun right now on SITV with Mary J. Blige singing I'm Going Down. A few days ago they had an episode about Puerto Rican Nationalists so the live performance was by La India I think they even had Celia Cruz on there once. double-

Did anybody else love this show?

i remember that shit . used to watch it every week . the 90s

I actually miss seeing Malik's dusty lips and the bugged eyed dude now that you mention it.

Michael DeLorenzo of Beat It fame. He did look like a bug-eyed fool but he had the longest eyelashes ever.

I also loved Ice-T on there, he was deliciously evil.

OMG, girl, that is too funny. I watch reruns of these on the weekend in the morning. I used to love it - and still do, lol. They come on Si TV (a Spanish channel). I also loved how they used current music, sorta like Miami Did and would get pissed if I missed the opening of an episode for the music tie-in to the plot.
I used to drool over Michael DeLorenzo, but now wathcing the runs, I'm feelin' Malik a little more

SCNDLS said:

I couldn't get past all the white of Mike's eyes showing to notice the lashes. He reminded me of a muppet.

and Ice-T was the ish back then. He was still very um, New Jack City-ish. Loved him!

Is this the show where twin brother and sister were lovers

paintedlady said:

That's the last time I actually liked Ice. He's such a joke to me now.

That was an EXCELLENT show....the first season.

Then they messed w/ perfection and it was never as good.

I miss the lovely Lauren Velez.

NOOOOO!!!! It's a cop show. In fact it was groundbreaking because it was the first primetime cop show that featured two minorities in the lead roles.

oh yes!!! I remember when it would come on Thursday nights at 9pm right after Martin and Living Single. That was the best show for me on television at that time. Loved it!!! It went down hill when they put that female detective on to the cast. That's when I stopped watching it. Especially when they had her and Torres as an item. I remember I used to have a picture of Torres and Williams in my locker at school

SCNDLS said:

YESSSSS!!!!!

The two on the right:



Weren't they lovers on the show? they look like brother and sister to me!

i know what you mean!!!! I used to have a crush on Michael DeLorenzo...a big one. Malik was okay, but he used to irritate me sometimes. Torres was always laid back..until you pissed him off!!!

missfee said:

yes, i stopped watching it when they added her - it was starting to getting boring.

Now I loved that show because of her! She made the show to me, that and all the good music. A Latino woman that didn't sound like Rosie Perez

paintedlady said:

Check out her first film, "I Like it Like That". And of course, she was great on 'Oz'.

uPtoWnNY said:

I think I will see that one. I think I've seen it before, sounds familiar.

uPtoWnNY said:

Used to love Oz. But now when I see the cast members in other shows or movies, I can't think of them in any other way besides the characters that they were in Oz.

uPtoWnNY said:

...and she's on Dexter.

SCNDLS said:

That Ice-T character was off the chain. Crazy as a mofo.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Now, I get it! Yeah, they were. Fool!

1sexymf said:

I'm still mad at them for blowing up Torres. But ya'll know Dick Wolf don't play when you start axin' for more money. He'll sho nuff write you off a show and keep it moving.

1sexymf said:

No LIE! That's why I can't even watch SVU without think about Chris Meloni being butt ass nekkid and tonguing Beecher down.

This was a good one with Regina King. Damn if they weren't overacting.

SCNDLS said:

tonguing???! I never saw OZ sounds like I need the DVD! :loL:

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I think it'd be right up your alley. I liked Oz, but they sure could get graphic...

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

What the hell??? Nothing but buff, fine ass jailbirds fucking and killing each other. Even lots of frontal nudity. Lawd, I can't believe YOU never saw Oz.
