  COURTTV.COM ONAIR - WISEGUY
The critically-acclaimed "Wiseguy," which originally premiered on CBS, follows Vinnie Terranova (Ken Wahl), an undercover officer for the "Organized Crime Bureau" of the federal government sent to infiltrate crime families.
At the time of its first broadcast, Wiseguy was unique to the crime action genre; series creator Stephen J. Cannell introduced a hero who establishes an affinity with and becomes thoroughly involved in the crime families with which he is sent to infiltrate.
As such, "Wiseguy" became a precursor of shows like the Soprano's, where the viewer becomes sympathetic with members of a crime family as multiple aspects of the characters are revealed.

 Wiseguy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Wiseguy was one of the few extremely creative shows on TV.
Wiseguy's first season was superb, not only because of Sharkey's work, but because of William Russ and his criminally underrated work as Roger Lococco (and the man knew how to wear those fl jeans!).
In fact, at this minute I have on PVR "hold" the episode where Vinnie was given a locked case by a priest, a case that was his late brother Peter's and which contained a lot of info about the Terranova background.

 DVD Verdict Review - Wiseguy: Mel Profitt
When Wiseguy made its initial television run in the late 1980s, it was an innovative blend of cop drama and soap opera.
The arc's 11 episodes are spread over three discs, with a fourth disc adding a "bonus" episode from early in the show's second season (skipping a short arc in which Vinnie infiltrates a group of white supremacists) spotlighting Elsa Raven as Vinnie's very Italian momma.
Wiseguy is a fun show, and I wish Wahl enjoyed sharing his memories with us more.

 Amazon.com: Wiseguy - Sonny Steelgrave and the Mob Arc (Season 1 Part 1): DVD: Steven Bauer,Gerald Anthony,Dennis ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Wiseguy tells the story of Vincent Terranova (played by Ken Wahl), a.k.a Vinnie, who had been originally assigned to the Undercover Agents plan of the O.C.B (Organized Crime Bureau), and was sent to prison for a year and a half to substantiate his cover as a criminal, in the eyes of the under world.
The uniqueness of Wiseguy is embedded in its rare treatment of the negative characters; a common person could earn a rare glimpse into the world in which people are so different from himself - yet so much alike - and sometimes understand and identify with their problems and actions.
Wiseguy was one of the best crime dramas of the late eighties/early nineties with strong lead and supporting characters,great writing, and great guest star casting.

 tvdvdreviews.com -- Wiseguy Season One Part Two: Mel Profitt/Drug Ring DVD Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The series' unique innovation was that rather than introducing a new villain every week, the show was conceived to unfold in multi-episode "arcs," in which Terranova would focus on one individual or organization.
Wiseguy's biggest flaw, however, is that its title character is also its least interesting.
This was less noticeable in the Steelgrave arc because of the intense relationship between Steelgrave and Vinnie.

 Wiseguy, Wiseguy on dvd, buy Wiseguy dvds, Wiseguy starring Ken Wahl, Jonathan Banks, Jim Byrnes
With the release of Wiseguy on DVD, one of the best TV series of the 1980s gets a new lease on life.
As conceived by co-creators Stephen Cannell (of The Rockford Files and The A-Team fame) and Ken Lupo, Wiseguy followed an innovative "story-arc" structure, allowing Vinnie's deep-cover missions to last only as long as necessary to bring each case to a sensible conclusion.
Since copied by countless TV shows, this unique approach to storytelling attracted a devoted following of viewers addicted to the self-contained plots that forced Vinnie, his sourpuss OCB handler Frank McPike (Jonathan Banks) and disabled covert liaison Dan "Lifeguard" Burroughs (played by double-amputee Jim Byrnes) to achieve their objectives within 6 to 10 hourlong episodes.

 Wiseguy (1996) (TV)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
As demoralized as Ken Wahl is about his injury and his addiction to drugs because of this injury, he still puts out a pretty good performance as Vinnie Terranova, the hunky, sensitive, undercover cop.
For people who have never seen the old "Wiseguy" series, they might not like this movie because they will not understand it.
But for those who were glued to the TV everytime the show was on in the 1980s, will appreciate and enjoy this movie.

Mainly this is a reflection of their overall lack of any kind of formal education.
In Nicholas Pileggi's WiseGuy, the author makes note of the fact that Henry Hill spoke "fairly grammatically," which came as a surprise to Pileggi, as this was not common of Mafioso.
However, this is probably due to the fact that Hill did not enter the Mafia until he was fourteen and had already developed a respectable grasp of standard (non-Mafia) English.

The "wiseguy" (mob parlance for a street-level hoodlum) is Henry Hill, 30-year veteran of a Brooklyn strong-arm branch of the Luchese crime family, who turned against and helped convict his former associates five years ago and entered the Federal Witness Protection Program.
Hill's story becomes an extraordinary vantage on a demimonde that lives a high, violent, score-to-score life in which car theft, hijacking-to-order, credit-card scams, cigarette smuggling, and other hustles and schemes are as workaday as 9-to-5 at the office.
