 The Homicide cast included Ned Beatty, Daniel Baldwin, Andre Braugher, Yaffe Cotto, Melissa Leo, and Richard Belzer, whose John Munch character would migrate to Law & SVU just months after the series ended. Despite the strong cast and notable guests like Alfre Woodard, Vincent D'Onofrio, Lily Tomlin, Gwen Verdon, and Robin Williams, Homicide Life on the Street is one of many series that fell through the so-called streaming cracks, with music rights said to be a main culprit.
