    Very Wise Before it's Time...

    Remember that show with Ice-T and company, where they were cons working for the government in exchange for parole? Everytime I see that show, I see Sonny Spoon. It was too cool for it's time period (the late 80s). Cannell should see about getting this show into syndication somewhere....like on FX, where I am POSITIVE that it will gain a good and loyal audience...and who knows, the show might catch on as a midseason replacement again!
