Just as I suspected. It's still real to me, dammit.

Does anyone recall Crime Story? That show turned me onto the genius that is Dennis Farina. I wasn't a huge fan of the first season, but when they moved the show to Vegas, it picked up nicely. Very early 60s Vegas. Mob intrigue, tweaking historical events, atom bomb testing in the desert. Even a recurring character played by Dice Clay. The theme song was a reworking of Del Shannon's Runaway that was fantastic. Season 2 ended on a cliffhanger, and no Season 3.
