So, does anyone out there in internet land remember this?
From 1997 to 1999, NBC broke new ground by webcasting a spin-off of the acclaimed show, Homicide: Life on the Street. It was called Homicide: Second Shift, and had its own cast of characters using Photoshop to get its characters into the same sets and locations as the TV show. Sometimes TV characters guested on the web version; occasionally web actors had cameos on the TV version. There was even a full-fledged crossover, the episode “Homicide.com” in the final season, which started on the web, had its second part on TV, then resolved itself on the web.
I was aware of Second Shift when it aired, but didn’t have the net access to engage with it at the time; and NZ’s broadcasts of Homicide were hardly in synch with the US broadcasts anyway. So it slipped by me.
I’m wondering if anyone out there remembers Second Shift, and particularly, if anyone can access copies of the material? It doesn’t seem to be included on any of the Homicide DVDs, even the big complete set. Surely it can’t be lost forever?
