    Still remember her in FLASHDANCE... . wow. what a revelation !! It was unintentional, but she changed the swagger and the countenance of the cinema for ever. I was a baby in the 80s , and watched the flashdance many times as a flash back in some Sunday afternoon. Which is typical in Argentina.I like the series , and she look great. Time passed by and she is still great, and pretty. Something funny, even if she acts in the most precious piece of Cinema Noir, And she performs the role of a perspicacious COP , she will be named as THE CHICK OF FLASHDANCE... funny in-it ??

    BEING TOO CLOSE to a particular subject matter may tend to render one's attitude towards any impartial review as being, if not spoiled, it would be at least somewhat jaded. In order to measure the value of a dramatic piece, one must first do his best to compartmentalize one's personal knowledge from the artistic value of the drama.WITH REGARD TO today's specimen in question, THE CHICAGO CODE (blah-blah, 2011)the very short lived Police Drama on the Fox Network last year, we do confess that we did have some difficulty in doing so. The fact that this writer had been a Chicago Copper for close to 35 years did weigh in heavily in this regard.WE DID FIND many aspects of just what popular fiction does portray as realism in bringing the world of the big city Police to the screen. In all fairness, this is not limited to this series and, indeed, there are many other, many much more glaring exaggerations in many more cop & robber series over the years.AS FAR AS the settings, the art direction and the overall look of the series, the production team gets the highest marks available. The choice of the external sights; blank-blank ans well as the Fox Television Network, both receive the highest marks available. Our fair, old town has a wealth of sections & communities; which all have their distinctive looks. These various degrees of photogenic urban landscapes were exploited to the highest by the filming crews.CONSIDERING THE CAST and the incremental character and plot developments that were unfolding, we have to admit (somewhat begrudgingly) that there was some outstanding things happening in THE CHICAGO CODE. Could it be that it had won me over into the great clan of its admirers? Well, it could be! NOW PLEASE ALLOW us to finish up with one last, rhetorical question. Just what could have prompted the Fox Network to pull the plug on this series after only 13 episodes? Had it not taken other long running, now classic series some time to catch on? Ever hear of I SPY or HILL STREET BLUES? They didn't catch on right away; but both proved to be all time great entries into TV's rich and ever growing history. OKAY, SO WE hear that the world of television entertainment is much more competitive now. Still, we can only wonder and close out this essay with those four small, yet mighty words......"WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN!"

    I loved this show. It was a cop show, sure, and there are plenty out there but it was different than everything else and it's quite hard to explain. The story line had me pulled in right away. To be honest I didn't watch much television at the time so I had no clue it was on till I spotted my father watching it. I was pulled in by the first few minutes. The thing I loved the most was the relationship with everyone in the show. My favorites were when Jarek Wysocki and Teresa Colvin got together, they were so calm and pulled a joke here and there, giving off a brother-sister relationship. And let's not forget about Jarek and Caleb's relationship. In my eyes it was slightly a father-son but also a brother-brother relationship. They continually bantered, making the atmosphere light. But it could change in a second. It had it's fair share of action, balancing everything out. There's not much I can say there without giving it away. But all in all this show was amazing and I'm extremely sad that they cut it.

    I didn't watch this show much when it started but after I caught a few episodes here and there throughout the season, I wish I had watched the entire season. I found each of the episodes I watched to be very entertaining and exciting. I watched the last 4 or 5 episodes regularly, which was very easy since I was watching House in the time slot immediately before Chicago Code. While watching the final episodes, particularly the episodes during the last 2 weeks of the season, I couldn't help feeling extremely frustrated that the show had been cancelled by Fox. I think it had a lot of promise and that promise was thrown aside. I wish that Fox would have taken a chance on a show like this and ditched some of the stupid reality shows that seem to permeate every network's schedule now-a-days. Hopefully Fox will replace it with an equally entertaining or more exciting show next season and not more of that BS reality garbage. R.I.P. The Chicago Code
