Snoops (Unaired Episodes) - Allan Arkush - (1999) DVD

When Snoops was unceremoniously yanked from the airwaves there were still three episodes in the can. This DVD is those unaired episodes.

David E. Kelley, the Emmy, Golden Globe and Peabody Award winning creator and executive producer of The Practice, Ally McBeal, Chicago Hope and Picket Fences attacks a new genre in this fun look at a sexy ensemble of unconventional private investigators in Los Angeles.
In pursuit of truth, justice and a big retainer, savvy Glenn Hall doesn't let the Constitution interfere with the work of her agency. Most of her investigators agree.

Manny Lott is a whiz with a mini-cam and a mini-mic and loves a woman in a mini-skirt. He also carries a mini-tranquilizer gun and will likely shoot if you annoy him. Roberta Young is prone to brazen deeds like stealing a deadbeat dad's toupee and holding it in "escrow" until he forks over child support. Glenn's newest recruit is former police detective Dana Plant who is a brilliant, by-the-book sleuth... water to Glenn's oil. This dynamic duo takes Los Angeles by storm so that no one gets away with murder. Conflicts and quirks aside, the private detectives of Glenn Hall, Inc. share a common bond: these Snoops don't let go until they've sniffed out the facts!

Episode : Blood Lines
Caroline is very sick from leukemia and Glenn has to find a matching donator. After she tracks down her birth mother's rapist, she has to convince him to donate his medulla. He demands a deal. He will only donate his medulla if the charges of rape against him are dropped. Dana is investigating Sam, a mentally disable man that works in the police office. He has been hiding drugs for money, thinking that he is helping people. After Dana tells him the truth, he kills the drug dealers. He runs into Ms. Jennings rapist in the hospital and threats to kill him. Dana tries to make him stop, but he shoots her and she dies.

Episode : The Stolen Diskette
The FBI is after some diskettes that are supposed to be with Glenn. Turns out a kid copied criminal information from the mob family Kushner computer and told that Glenn had them. McCormack decides to leave the police and Agent Shivers asks Glenn if she can join the agency. Note : Although Paula Marshall is no longer on the show, she is still credited on the opening credits. Probably, if the show hadn't been cancelled, Jessalyn Gilsig would have replaced Paula.

Episode : Swan Chant
Glenn and Suzanne (now working for the agency), have to take care of a famous singer addicted to drugs. Rose Carmody, widow of a millionaire, asks the agency for help. The son of her ex-husband is contesting his will. The agency is part of the will, and Glenn decides not to take her case. Manny takes it behind her back and Rose becomes the new owner of Glenn Hall Inc. Roberta decides to leave the agency to work as a creative consultant on a new TV show about private investigators. Jamie asks Glenn to join her in her band and go on tour with her. Suzanne decides to go back to Washington. Rose fires Glenn from the agency and she decides to leave.

NOTE: Here we learn how the agency was built. After Glenn solved the Carmody's son kidnapping, he gave her 10 million dollars to start the agency. At the final scene, Glenn and Jamie are singing, as they start to walk away. The camera shows the behind the cameras and all the staff as they leave the studio. On the studio door, Gina grabs David E. Kelley himself and start to wave, saying goodbye. , killed before airing that I really wish made it to the screen. I would have loved to have seen a few more episodes if the pilot is any indication.
