Boys of Oz

Oz alums prove their weight.

Oz was an HBO drama about prison life so vividly depicted, so chillingly told, so violently real, so sexually charged, so brilliantly portrayed that many TV critics would rank it among the best series of all time.


:DDDDD

Lemme put my fangirl hat on for a sec. While it bugs me that they site the run of the show starting in '99 instead of '97 (duh, research!), and that Eamonn Walker's main cast role on Justice is referred to as "reoccuring", AND they misspell Vern's name (although the irony kills me, OMG), I love that someone took the time to lay this all out. If anything, it's just proof that Dick Wolf truly is a whore for Fontana's cast, LMAO.

Except they don't list AMPed for Lee, which...makes me fret. >.>

Yay! I knew you'd like the article! Perhaps they're not talking about future series just yet? And TV writers always manage to get something wrong! And man, Oz just pwned The Sopranos for edge-of-your-seat TV and yet, years later, what's still getting all the glory, waaaay past its prime?

Dick Wolf truly is a whore for Fontana's cast, LMAO.

It's so true. It's partly that NY pool of actors but I think it's more than that. I also think that Marc Cherry must be a big Oz fan since he put Lee and Ernie on Desperate Housewives. I await more Oz alums! ;)

LOL, I literally made this post, like, ten seconds after I clicked the link, even though I had zero time to do so at work. I kept looking over my shoulder as I simultaneously read the article and typed the post. ;D
