One of the fun side benefits of covering the New York Television Festival is that you get to see a few selected fall pilots projected up on a big screen. Oh, and you also get to talk to some of that show's actors and producers, as well. FOX's New Amsterdam was the first of three network pilots to premiere at the festival; shot in New York, it's a procedural whose main character, NYPD homicide detective John Amsterdam, has lived in the city for over 400 years, searching for his one true love. If it sounds familiar, you're right.More details and pictures after the jump.
Perhaps someone who actually lives in the Boston area can shed some light on
this, but I was unaware there's an "anti-snitching" code among Bostonians, and that many are afraid to come
forward, even anonymously, to report crimes. That's exactly what John Walsh addressed when he was in the city recently
to tape an episode of America's Most Wanted, a show that combines anonymous tips and horribly-acted
reenactments to bring criminals to justice. He told the residents to do what's right and make the call if they know
anything. Residents, however, are apparently still wary of reporting anyone. The Boston episode will focus on two
separate homicide cases, and will air February 11.
