New York Undercover was the best show to air on FOX, the first three seasons were the best. The 4th Season jumped the shark, adding Thomas Mikal Ford was the good thing but when they got rid of the musical performances as well as Natalie’s was the death of the show.
@@TracyGJacksonTV yeah I don’t see anything wrong with adding Tommy Ford. But they should’ve kept lieutenant Cooper, the musical guets, the opening montages, and Eddie. Season 4 could’ve been way better.
Huge piece of my childhood here. I remember begging my parents to stay up to watch it. When I did good in school I was allowed to. Thursday Nights on FOX used to be a whole event. Rest In Power James Mtume and Andre Harrell. those Brothas don't get enough credit for the Soul they put in the first 3 seasons of this show.
I love everything Dick Wolf makes, but messing up New York Undercover was his biggest mistake. He said NYU was no Friends & he was right. It was better & it was a show that represented people of color in a positive light & had a lot of heart.
Naw he also was responsible for changing the tone of Miami Vice too. He took over MV during season 3 and it started to lose the style that had made it so famous and gave it dark vibe. It seems like his MO to take a show that has a great formula that makes a show a hit then decides to give the show a "realistic" feel and kills the vibe.
@@niabelizaire3596I’m 37 yrs old and I remember being 7-8 yrs old remembering the scene where he goes up the steps and they are waiting for him. Now that it’s on peacock I was searching for that scene and finally found it after 30yrs
@@jamescarter474 And the look on Mouse's face when they cornered him, the poor baby was terrified. Then Eddie and JC discovered his body, it broke my heart. I'm eighteen years old and this show came out eleven years before I was born, but I first watched New York Undercover on BET and I've been a fan of the show for like two years at this point.
@ yup. My older brother swears I was too young to watch it but I’m like man I remember all that, ice t killing JC fiancé and all that. I might have been 7-8 but I wa still Tuned in just like he was!!! Lol
I've been watching this show after work on Tubi for the past few weeks & idk it seems even better now than when I was younger. My mom used to watch it when I was a little girl.(I'm 37) It was a great show throughout its run but the 1st couple of seasons are my absolute favorite. ✨😌💥🚔💛🩵
NY Undercover was a GREAT show. When they brought on Ice T as Danny Up it just changed the entire feel of the show, especially after he killed Sandy. Fox may not have done everything right with the show but you have to give them credit for even taking a chance with a network drama featuring two men of color as the leads.
If they hadn't messed with this show it could have ran into the early 2000s or so It's ironic how the tension among the cast and crew really began ... Basically the cast just wanted safer working conditions but their requests were not prioritized
Greatly missed and a must watch back in the 90s it was 🔥. A blk and Hispanic being COPs what unheard of but it changed television for me. I was like this is fly love the actor's chemistry and the music Yoba D'renzo, short version were good together. Eddie shouldn't have been killed off but if they brought it back at least like a short reboot that would be great. now there's nothing to compare to this. NYUC always will be held close. 💯✊🏽💪🏽
Oh they absolutely did. These shows helped build that network into what it is today but got no love at all during awards season or from their own network.
Thank you for this Unsung New York Undercover...I had no idea how many African Americans were behind the making of this show! I LOVED this awesome show and characters! It was way ahead of it's time!! I could not miss an episode...until they killed off Eddie and Patty D'arbenville left!! Dick Wolf kinda redeemed himself with SVU with Ice-T and Chicago PD with La Royce Hoskins and Benjamin Levy Aguilar!!
I watch one episode M-F on Peacock. I love it more now than I did then and I didn't think that was possible 🖤🤎. It's awful how undervalued and unappreciated this show and the actors were.
That show transcended. It’s possible that it had its time, but I hope the cast and crew collaborate on something new with the same everything. Same message, same style, same vibe etc.
It was amazing to have a positive portrayal of Puerto Ricans. We don't get that much. New york Undercover needs a reboot and a Grand theft auto style videogame. Bring the original cast back have it take place between season 2 and 3. 😊
I don't care for cop/dective or lawyer shows but new York undercover is an exception it was a 100 percent urban and hip hop it was less like watching a tv version of new jack city it had the same vibe that the hood movies in the 90s jc and Torres were both young and fine
I did think of a way Eddie could come back. They can write that he faked his death and went into witness protection. Keep in mind they didn’t show his dead body
Blacks put FOX on the map...made them RICH...and look how they repaid us. They should release all episodes of the show on DVD in a boxed set. I'd sure as hell would buy it.
Man best show ever. And I agree they could have killed off lequinta or Eddie's girl I can't spell her name but she was a B! RIP EDDIE the show is on tubi for free BTW. NEW YORK UNDERCOVER. BEST SHOW EVER. SALENA THO AND ALL THE ARTIST AT NATALYS❤
NY Undercover could’ve been great but they screwed it up. The music was the only thing they got right. JC was the stereotypical black dude. Baby mama, light skinned gf, always making racist comments but it’s ok because he’s black lol. The plots and characters were corny AF. The music was the only thing that fit

New York Undercover crawled so law and order could walk
Preach that!!!
You mean svu ? Cause the original law and order started in 1990
Say it louder for the people in the back

Hard To Believe It's Been 30 Years Since This Show Premiered On Fox Network,Time Flies
The biggest mistake in tv history killing off Eddie
That and killing off James Evans on Good Times.
Facts I stopped watching after that
This! I’m fighting like hell to get through season 4 just to say I finished it 🥴
@@Tyasiaaaa lmao .....I had to do the same ...season 4 was absolute garbage! .....
@Tyasiaaaa I finished the whole series but I'm STILL mad af because they won't release this show on DVD
New York Undercover was FIRE🔥🔥❤❤ I love watching New York Undercover ❤👏👏

Episode with the most impact was the that reflected the 11 year old killer Yummy. The writer on this tv series was epic
That episode is called “Manchild”, it’s my favorite episode of the entire series. It made me want to cry

Thursdays Nights Was a Must See TV ,Back Then On Fox Network, Martin, Living Single & NewYork Undercover Are The Best 💯 Period
N.Y. Undercover was the Miami Vice of 1990s, the First Two Seasons Were Great.

They made The Greatest Mistake Ever When They Killed Off Eddie!!!!!😢

And more money... but they 100% deserved it. They were getting 40k per episode and wanted 100k ... D.wolf destroyed the show on purpose after that...
The first three seasons were gold. The last season not so much 😂

Fox used black shows (In Living Color, Martin, NYU, Living Single) to expand their network and get the NFL.
Oh they absolutely did. These shows helped build that network into what it is today but got no love at all during awards season or from their own network.
That’s nothing new and it’s still being used til this very day, using Black culture to boost a platform and blacks benefiting none.
Remember shows like In Living Color and Roc came out a few years before Martin Living Single and New York Undercover.

J . C . son handsome, stuff though or kind of dumb his character
damn Nostalgia, miss great tv shows like this will never be another New York Undercover

I grew up during this time. Still today this is one of my favorite shows to binge watch
My absolute favorite show!A classic

Best comment!!!! I also don't care for cop shows but to see the show clearly represented the world I come from was so dope.
I did think of a way Eddie could come back. They can write that he faked his death and went into witness protection. Keep in mind they didn’t show his dead body
But what is Nina an jc gonna do if they started dating an Eddie come back
NYU was a vibe! 🔥
One of my favorite shows still watch it still this day
I Miss This Show So Much
Blacks put FOX on the map...made them RICH...and look how they repaid us. They should release all episodes of the show on DVD in a boxed set. I'd sure as hell would buy it.
In short they were the Kid N Play meets Lethal Weapon
The entire show is on Amazon prime
And peacock
And Tubi
Ice T and Duck Wolf were both gangstas
27 years later, killing off Eddie still has me messed up.
Greatest show ever
It was a really good show!!!👍
Lauren Velez was/is da 💣 x3 Bombs
Say that
We had a dj here in South Africa, obsessed with her.😂😂
Word...and she has an identical twin sister
I have a 24/7 channel of this show with NO COMMERCIALS. Absolutely terrible what they did after season 3 😢😢😢
Is this back because it was gone for the longest time? RIP Andre 🙏
No
@@dillinghamfilmIt must have been another UA-camr who posted a few years ago. Because I had the hardest time finding it again
its on amazon prime
Peacock has it on
Give us a modern movie version of this show like they did with Miami Vice in 2006.
The problem is....the film was terrible
Andre Harrell RIP
Classic
Man best show ever. And I agree they could have killed off lequinta or Eddie's girl I can't spell her name but she was a B! RIP EDDIE the show is on tubi for free BTW. NEW YORK UNDERCOVER. BEST SHOW EVER. SALENA THO AND ALL THE ARTIST AT NATALYS❤

Lol
I disagree on the plots part. They did get a lot of that right, tho it could’ve been better but Season 4 was terrible
Season four was terrible but the first three seasons was classic it way better a lot of drama show that out in today times
