[Law & Order SVU (John Munch)]

{(_)}

Elephant ears, much?

His ears are amazing, tyvm. When the sun shines thru them, it is like seeing a glimpse of heaven.

The elephant ears is what you notice? not the massive k-nose?

The nose is hard to see in this pic.

What's a "k-nose" anyway?

The shortening of a vulgar word for a Jewish person.

Ugh, that's what I guessed, but I was hoping it wasn't that.

Whenever I caught the show, he always impressed me as a very underrated actor.

yup

Munch is a good character. Not used nearly enough, IMO.

I agree. The early seasons were best for Munch (& Fin as partners). Later on when the show just started getting weirder and weirder and there was less and less Munch, I stopped watching.

The reason is because every time Munch has dialogue, SVU pays royalities to Homicide: Life On the Street. He was a very expensive character.

MUNCH SECRET!!! I'm so fascinated by his character, and the sheer number of other shows he's popped up on (I remember being mildly confused when he was on "Arrested Development," like, did I accidentally change the channel?). I'd be lying if I said I didn't find him attractive, too.

The X-Files!

he cameoed on The Wire [S5, Epi7]

I feel it necessary to pop in to threads like this and tell everyone they should watch Homicide: Life on the Streets. It's infinitely superior to SVU, and there's a lot more Munch.

Telling someone HLOTS is superior to SVU is like going up to someone who's eating a takeout asada burrito and saying that prime rib is superior. Well, yeah. It doesn't mean the burrito isn't also pretty good, and that they could have a craving for the asada seasoning and fixings of the burrito that ordering a classic prime rib doesn't deliver.

They are both police procedurals on network TV which even share some characters so this isn't exactly apples and oranges... unless that specific thing you're craving is the spice of shittiness, and then SVU it is.

nayrt, but I think ayrt meant to control for the similarities in the shows with it specifically being an "asada burrito" ie, also a steak dish.

And come on, seasons 6 and 7 of HLOTS are kinda bad. I would take seasons 1-6 of SVU over those. SVU at its worst is worse than HLOTS at its worst, but prime SVU is equal in quality to HLOTS and The Mothership.

Stylistically, Homocide is way different in how they stage the scenes and write the dialogue. It's more like watching a play at the theater than your typical police procedural. The original L&O was similar in the early seasons, but SVU is a different animal despite the fact that it's about the same topic.

Amen!

Anon, are you me?

OP here, and obviously no, but glad I'm not alone!

He is a man who is aging into his face, so I can certainly understand finding him more attractive as he ages.

I love him. I'm not attracted, but can see why others would be. He has an interesting face.
