I found this post via friendsfriends and Homicide is my favorite TV show of all time so I felt I had to post.
I remember not liking seasons 6 & 7 much when I watched them as originally broadcast, but when the season 6 DVD set came out I watched that season and thought it quite good after all, better than I'd remembered. I've only started season 7-- there are at least two really good episodes there and others with good bits in them. I haven't seen most of the episodes (save for the finale and a couple others) since they originally aired-- will be interesting to see how it looks to me now. Happy to make episode recommendations, though IIRC there's stuff pertinent to Bayliss' arc in most of the episodes.
I'm such a fan-- when they had a sale in Baltimore to sell off props from the show-- I begged other fans to buy me a few things there. So I'm the proud owner of Crosetti's wallet, sunglasses, keychain, etc. (as featured in the episode "Crosetti") and of business cards for a lot of the detectives and of one of Beau's shirts (seen in a number of my fave episodes) and one of Kay's notebooks and silly stuff like that. I've still never been to Baltimore though I hope to visit someday before Fell's Point changes too much.
Kyle Secor had a memorable several episode run on St. Elsewhere; he's a castmember on Commander-In-Chief this year, has had memorable guest spots on a number of shows (including CSI and the pilot for Crossing Jordan), he was on some lackluster hospital drama for a season (post-Homicide), and you know about Veronica Mars. I try to mention any guest appearances by Homicide alums in my tv picks each day.
