    • Trivia
      The flashback scenes were usually shot with the type of film stock used at the time of the setting (as much as possible).
    • Goofs
      Frequently, in various episodes, the detectives say that a gun is registered to someone (or that someone has no registered guns, or the like). There is no gun registration in Pennsylvania; it's prohibited by state law.
    • Quotes

      Lilly Rush: From 1983.

      Nick Vera: An '83 case can wait. Come on, Lilly.

      Lilly Rush: No, it can't. It's waited long enough.

    First there was "Cold Squad" set in Vancouver masquerading as.... Vancouver! Now while Vancouver is only barely Canadian it was refreshing to see a Canadian-made show set in Canada rather than New York having Vancouver's Coast Range mountains in the background as in one infamous example in a Jackie Chan movie. (I bet all those people in Brooklyn and Harlem enjoy the snow-capped peaks they can see from Manhatten.) "Cold Squad" was a reasonably good police procedural and worth a look.

    Then there was "Cold Case" set in Philadelphia masquerading as Philadelphia - or so I think, never having been to Philly. The star was and is most appealing, the soap opera aspects not too overdone, the use of music unsurpassed, and the writing! Perhaps the best written show now on television, writing not merely skillful as in "Law & Order" and "CSI" but filled with compassion, heart, sympathy and simply that most elusive quality of love.

    I admit that several of the episodes have so moved that I have found tears in my eyes by the ending. I know it is emotionally manipulative in use of music, plot and scene but it is quite simply superb. This programme, at best, touch the heart.

    P.S. Having seen the first show of the new (2005-06) season I must modify my above opinion. This is not, in my opinion, "perhaps the best written show now on television"; this is probably the best written television programme ever.

    FAQ7

    • Do any streaming services have Cold Case available?
    • Is Cold Case coming to DVD?
    • But it wouldn't make sense for the copyright owners to not license these songs for a DVD release, would it? When the songs are heard on the DVD release, wouldn't many people be inspired to purchase the CD or pay for a download?
