No Psych or Burn Notice love? And what about Criminal Intent, the better Law and Order show (wait for justin to read THAT!). At least better when D'nofrio was on it, he was just great as Goren.
Or Monk.. Fucking Monk! I have almost pissed myself many times watching that show. Tony Shalhoub rocks as Monk
Criminal intent is awesome no doubt and i would agree criminal intent was better than SVU with D' nofrio absolutely amazing in his role.
D'nofrio best detective on T.V. since Columbo IMO praise doesn't get any higher in my eyes.
Monk a poor man's Columbo, you got no business watching Monk if you haven't seen every episode of Columbo 100 times over each episode.
As an aside well worth seeking out D' Nofrio's various movie roles.
Olivia D' Abo must get high kudos for her recurring role in this series took this show to a whole other level, her chemistery in her scenes with Detective Goren are something to behold and are absolute must watch T.V.
