I lost all faith in television since High Incident was dropped. I cant say enough good about it. From the first episode when Len's partner and best friend is
gunned down ( I almost broke down when I saw that ) all the way to the "final" bank robbery scene. The bright side, if any, is that it might be making it to DVD soon, and yes, part 2 of the bank robbery was shot.
By the way, Officer Marsh gets my vote for "Badass Cop of All-Time"!!!

This will always be one of my favorite shows. I only wished I could have seen more than two seasons worth of this masterpiece. The only reason this show did not survive is the fact that there are millions of idiots who watched the awful show "Friends." I am glad to see that the majority of the cast have went on to bigger things and best of luck to them. How could ABC leave us with such a huge cliffhanger? Is Officer Mike Rhoades going to awake from his coma? Would Officer Len Guyer being paralized after a gun shot a misdiagnosis? Please, Spielberg, make a movie with the very same characters of this series.
My husband and I waited eagerly each week to watch "High Incident." We figured if Steven Spielberg was associated with it, then it had to be good. We were right. This was absolutely the best cop show we had seen up to that time. I can't believe the network canceled it without giving it a chance. We were bitterly disappointed. This show was way better than Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue and look how long they lasted. The characters were all believable and the story lines were well written. Many of the actors in this show were relatively unknown when it started and they have gone on to bigger and better things. If there were any way to get this show back on the air, we would be thrilled. I hope they will release all the episodes on DVD so we can watch them again. The network executives don't know jack when it comes to what's great and what is just mediocre and boring. They keep all those horrible shows on for years but cancel an excellent show like "High Incident." What a shame.
I could not believe that this one ended the way it did. This show was one of the only redeeming things about television while it was on. The actors meshed well and it blended nicely the humor and seriousness it was portraying. I was in disbelief when I heard it wouldn't be back after the second season. This is a show that should NOT have been taken off TV because it was good, and when shows like the Nanny can be on for like 8 seasons or whatever this one deserved more than it got. One of the best TV shows ever.
This show was great! To date, it is the only police/real-life drama show I watched religiously. This show was beautiful in everyway. It was powerful, emotional, touching, and just great writing and filled with great actors. David Keith's role was awesome. I still remember the episode where he busts through a door of this house were a husband is beating his wife, and Kieth pounds the guy into the ground. One of my favorite scenes of all time in any movie or TV show. I hated that they left me hanging with one officer paralyzed, and another in a coma after the shootout. Hopefully, some day this show will be available on DVD or something.
