That show with that one guy.

So okay, I'm now back from my yearly camping excursion with my crazy friends who I only see once a year. The weather was actually gorgeous (best weather in the six years we've been doing said excursion) and much alcohol was consumed.

But, a slight moment of panic was brought about when two of my friends, in all seriousness, tried to tell me, in a conversation about how great SVU is, that RICHARD BELZER IS DEAD.

O____O

I have never wanted internet connection so goddamn badly.

Earlier today on the drive home I was talking TV with my BFF and telling her about watching Wanted because she'd seen it when it originally aired on TNT.

Her: Why are you watching that?
Me: Because of this one guy that's on it who I really like.
Her: Which guy?
Me: Lee Tergesen.
Her: Is he one of the hot ones?
Me: I think he's hot, yeah.
Her: Who did he play?
Me: The really snarky guy with the mustache who ran around all buff in wifebeaters. Eddie Drake.
Her: (smirk) Oh yeah. Him.

WTF. Plus, when we were talking Rescue Me and I said I wished they'd bring Sully back, she's like, "OMG, but do you know what he DID?!" YES I DO AND I BLAME TOLAN AND LEARY KTHX.

Urgh. But the good news is, according to IMDB, Richard Belzer is NOT dead. :P

They were probably thinking of Jerry Orbach.

*moment of silence*

DAMN, I meant to use this icon. POOR Jerry Orbach.

But that's just it, I kept saying that, and they'd say, "No, that one guy on SVU, the older one," and then they'd describe RB. O_O

Yay! You're back! (I think I said that already but it bears repeating!) And yeah, that's a bizarre rumor! Good thing it's not true!

I still say you should watch Homicide to really see how great a character Munch is -- ah, now THAT's a show where I knew all the characters' names instead of just the names of the actors. SVU is like WAT for me that way.

I'm totally getting out the S1 Homicide DVDs. Just for you. :)

I saw "Richard Belzer is dead" and had a mini heart attack. So I can only imagine how you must have felt.

DUDE. You have no idea. I was cool on the outside, but inside I was all, "OMFG WTF INTERNET NOW."

I didn't know Lee was on that show. Is it still on? Oh, have you seen this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfA38qwx7UM

I almost passed out from the Melonihotness!

Nope, it was cancelled after 10 or so eps.

Thanks for the link! Woo!
