Some really good writing on the first run as well as this one. Yes, some of it is cliche...but some of the stuff is just down right funny...normally hidden lines in normal dialogue.Another show I've never watched two seconds of.

and you know the jokes are coming..."Dad, can you pass the salt".
Tim is right. A lot identical to the original. He's retired...and now you've made me wonder. What ya want to bet the show starts off with a phone call in one of the eight remaining episodes?@TerryP the only thing missing is the phone call at the beginning of the old show.I know he not on the radio.

Think about this. Name another character on TV that's lasted through...what, four decades now? In three different renditions.
Didn't Munch tell everyone why he left the Boston Police and move to NYCPD?Munch! From Homicide Life on the Street to Law & Order SVU, Cold Case and even X-Files.

Fixed itFrom what I remember it was implied that Munch straight up SERVED JUSTICE on a child molester and then retired from Boston and went to NYC.
I'd have to look up the name of the book...it's close to this; central character is Jay something...Munch is based off that character: true crime story. I read it when I was in school for undergrad...so early 90's.Homicide Life on the Street
Actually I got it wrong lol Been so long since I've seen it. They thought it was a child molester that murdered a bunch of cops (they were raiding his house) but it ended up being someone else. He got off of it and then wound up dead and it was heavily implied that Munch is the one that offed him and covered it up.Fixed it
Yep, David Simon's book (longtime crime reporter in Baltimore) Homicide A Year on the Killing Streets. He based Munch off Jay Landsman and two other cops. They ended up using that book and The Corner as the basis for The Wire (and the mini-series The Corner, which a ton of actors would end up being used on The Wire, too). They also made Landsman a character in The Wire.I'd have to look up the name of the book...it's close to this; central character is Jay something...Munch is based off that character: true crime story.
