New York Undercover Part Deux

TVnista just learned that ashy Malik Yoba has joined the cast of NBC's mid-season drama series Raines, starring Jeff Goldblum as an eccentric cop who talks to his dead victims to help him solve his crimes. Yoba will play his ex-partner and best friend. Hmmm....I still miss New York Undercover. Wasn't that the tightest Thursday night lineup in TV history (back-to-back episodes of Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy are close) with Martin, followed by Living Single and then New York Undercover? That was the crime drama to launch all crime dramas. How hot was the relationship between Eddie (Michael DeLorenzo) and Moreno (Lauren Velez)? Remember when Naomi Campbell guest-starred as J.C.'s girlfriend? And all the musical artists, like Mary J. Blige and Xscape, who showed up to perform at Natalie's? Those were the days! I hear that reruns air on TV One. TVnista does not get TV One...thank you very much Comcast of New Jersey!
