Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The Chicago Police Uniforms in the show are perfect except for the Left Shoulder Patches, which 'should' read Chicago Police, but instead are a fictional patch that reads 'Police Department of the City of Chicago'. This is common when any show films in Chicago (even when most of the filming is done in Canada). Chicago has a rule that no representation of their real Police Patch can be shown without express permission from the city. Since most movie productions don't want to hassle having a bureaucrat 'approving' all of their scripts, most depictions of the "Chicago Police Department" have bogus patches versus the real thing. Thus this is an intentional "mistake" but one that sharp eyed viewers will pick up. more
Quotes:
Gargoyle: This good-cop, bad-cop routine is worse than Starsky and Hutch.
Benson: No, it's not a routine. I'm really a good cop. And he's... really a bad cop.
Gargoyle: I'm about to work myself up to a yawn here.

Cheezy, Popcorn Fun!, 30 May 2001
Author: TomRMD from Maryland

The cleaning store front to the SU2 Station is a tip o' the lid to "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.", and that's how to consider this show, with the same tongue-in-cheek slyness at the detective/horror/paranormal genre. Indeed, this show succeeds where "The Lone Gunmen" fell flat.
