Homicide: Second Shift

Homicide: Second Shift was an Internet web series presented in a static script/comic book format (there was no streaming video) that tied into the TV series Homicide: Life on the Street. The web-show started 21 February 1997.[1] The show featured detectives of the homicide squad that worked the second shift, after the television detectives went home for the day. Several of the characters from Homicide: Second Shift had cameos on Homicide: Life on the Street, and the show had one story crossover with the television show.

The on-air/online crossover—the first such crossover for NBC.[2]—was a three-part story-line. "Homicide.com", a season 7 episode Homicide: Life on the Street, was the middle part of the crossover with Homicide: Second Shift. Though the television episode was self-contained, parts one and three which were online only provided expanded context for the story.[3]

gollark: Interestingly, it looks like the dragons are shuffled around a bit whenever there's a dragon data refresh. Cool.

gollark: Assuming nothing explodes and we don't end up with everything becoming sick, I plan to release it more publicly within a few days.

gollark: Also, dragons aren't yet autoupdated, but I think I'll make them autoupdate at a rate of once a minute - does that seem OK or should it be lower?
