If you’ve never seen the series Wiseguy<\/em>, it’s worth searching out (at least for the first few story arcs).  Ken Wahl played an undercover cop, Jonathon Banks was Wahl’s supervisor and Jim Byrnes was his handler.  The series was one of the first to have story arcs going over several episodes with guest stars playing the criminals.  Wiseguy<\/em> was one of the best shows on television at the time.<\/p>\n

I bring this up because the fine folks at Me-TV present 10 Undercover Facts about Wiseguy<\/em><\/a>.  Before you click over, here are three of my favorite of the facts and my thoughts on each…<\/p>\n

\n

Wahl suffered some serious injuries.<\/strong>  (Sadly, Wahl’s acting career was cut short due to injuries.  Wahl missed part of season two due to an injury to his Achilles tendon.  In 1992, he fell down steps and broke his neck!  After filming a 1996 Wiseguy<\/em> reunion movie, Wahl retired due to constant pain. – Craig)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

You can’t see every episode in reruns due to music (licensing).<\/strong> (There are several episodes where music played such an integral part of scenes that to lose the music lessen their impact.  The biggest casualty was the conclusion of the Sonny Steelgrave arc which used Nights in White Satin<\/em> by the Moody Blues. – Craig)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Wahl left the series early.<\/strong> (Wahl left after the third season and the series just wasn’t the same.  But we will always have those early story arcs.  Check them out! – Craig)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
