    Another great show gets the axe.

    Well, Special Unit 2 was canceled in 02/2002. It's a shame. It was one of the most creative and funny shows to come across the small screen in some time. The quick witted, sharp tongued characters were the perfect match for the utter "campy-ness" of the show's premise. Sheer genius. Let's hope UPN decides to bring this one back.

    Why SU2 was canceled

    The reason the show was canceled was due to a copyright infringement. It turns out that the show was based on a role playing game and no one got permission from the creator to pinch his stuff.

    He tried to talk to the producers and writers but couldn't find any satisfactory answer to the infringement. The producers decided to cancel the show.

    I believe the name of the RPG was "Bureau 13", I was also told that the writers had played the game when they were younger.

    They probably forgot where they got the idea for the show (I least I hope it was accidental.)

    I LOVE IT!!

    I loved this show! I would watch every episode, it was so GOOD! And the characters were great together. I like Carl the Nome, he was always funny and getting into something. It's to bad they canceled the show, I thought it was a great hit, and I miss. One of the many shows I watched and really liked, and by fact i don't watch TV much, because most all of it sucks. Everything is the same, but this show was different. I really really liked it. I give it a perfect 10.

    greatest witty show on tv

    It's all about mixing together a cast of excellent actors, good scripts, nice effects, and, to top it all off, truly witty dialogue. Really, everything written by Jeff from Wisconsin is true. The show and the characters tackle serious crimes, but they do it with style. The cast really does work well together. The characters respect each other, but they don't let that get in the way of constantly barraging each other with barbs and sarcastic comments. You can't help but relate to them--they're the kind of people you'd like to go drinking with--there's something appealing about each one. But the wit is what puts it over the edge. This is wit like The Thin Man, like Bogie, like Jimmy Stewart. Good stuff. Who would have guessed.

    Oh, and the music by is by Mark Snow. Enough said.

    Why did you leave me.

    I realy enjoyed watching this programme late at night while I was in bed, and then they went and canceled it.

    this tv show was one of the best programmes I have seen in a long time, It always kept me entertained.

    9/10

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Frequently pokes fun at its fellow UPN supernatural/action/comedy series Buffy contre les vampires (1997). For instance, in the first episode, Captain Page tells Kate that all myths and stories of monsters are based on actual creatures, except vampires, which are total fiction.
    • Goofs
      The Chicago Police Uniforms in the show are perfect except for the Left Shoulder Patches, which 'should' read Chicago Police, but instead are a fictional patch that reads 'Police Department of the City of Chicago'. This is common when any show films in Chicago (even when most of the filming is done in Canada). Chicago has a rule that no representation of their real Police Patch can be shown without express permission from the city. Since most movie productions don't want to hassle having a bureaucrat 'approving' all of their scripts, most depictions of the "Chicago Police Department" have bogus patches versus the real thing. Thus this is an intentional "mistake" but one that sharp eyed viewers will pick up.

      Benson: [O'Malley and Carl are laughing and hollering after blowing up a building] What are you two so happy about?

      Nick O'Malley: We just saved some guy's life, killed some vicious murdering Links and blew up something big. I'd call that a pretty good night.
