EZ Streets–A Tivo Moment
“Aah!” I screamed, and clobbered my husband who was holding the remote and scrolling through the schedule. “EZ Streets! EZ Streets!” I’ve written many times before that this is one of my favorite cancelled TV series of all time, right up there with My So Called Life. Great reviews and Emmys couldn’t save it. EZ Streets was written by Paul Haggis, the screenwriter of Million Dollar Baby and the director of Crash. It is being shown on the new Sleuth Channel–”Mystery. Crime. All the Time.” I’m both excited and trepidatious to revisit EZ Streets, which ran in 1996 and 1997 and had only 9 episodes. Will I still like it? And if so, will it make me angry all over again that it got cancelled? If so, perhaps I can console myself this fall with this.
