Amazon.com:
Inspired by the feature of the same name, The Big Easy aims to re-create the steamy, sexy vibe of Jim McBride's 1987 film and its New Orleans setting for the small screen. All things considered, these 22 episodes (on four discs; there are no bonus features) from the first season (1996) do a decent job of it. This is not a show that relies much on storytelling; the plots, all of them involving murder mysteries, tend to be pedestrian and obvious, although "Snakebit," in which victims are dispatched by an enormous python, is a notable exception. The emphasis is more on the characters, including pre-Katrina New Orleans and its distinctive lingo, neighborhoods, and music. As for the folks who populate the Crescent City (which might as well be called "The Big Sleazy," considering that everyone is on the make in one way or another), the good guys include veteran Barry Corbin as Remy's boss, Capt. C.D. LeBlanc, and Eric George as trumpeter-police informant Smiley Dupree, while others run the low-rent gamut from crooked politicians and snaggle-toothed bayou boys to transsexual prostitutes and bookies with names like Automatic Slim. The principals, as in the film, are smooth-talking, rule-bending Det. Remy ("like the cognaq--smooth but strong") McSwain and his love interest, government attorney Anne Osborne. Neither Tony Crane nor Susan Walters is likely to make anyone forget Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin in those roles, but that's not simply because the actors aren't as good (which they aren't--Walters in particular lacks the seasoned sensuality Barkin brought to the role). As is the case with pretty much any relatively low-budget cable production (The Big Easy ran for two seasons on the USA Network), the show's writing simply can't measure up to big-time Hollywood standards; in going for a light touch, too often it comes off as lightweight instead (although the dialogue is mostly good, the cutesy, almost constant arguing-flirting between the two leads quickly becomes tiresome). Still, any show that features the sounds of N'Awlins legends like Fats Domino and Earl King has its heart in the right place, and even if The Big Easy is neither good enough to be a consistent pleasure nor bad enough to be a guilty one, there's still enough here to laissez les bon temps rouler. --Sam Graham

- Oh, goodness...I had the honor of meeting Tony Crane last year while he was performing in "Spamalot" at the Wynn. Once this DVD gets here, I will probably never leave the house. This is better than Christmas morning!

- FINALLY!!Like many others, I have waited a LONG time for this series to come out on DVD. I loved this show, although I have to admit that I didn't feel the same about it once Susan Walters left the cast. The chemistry between Susan Walters and Tony Crane was steamy...and I only wish the writers and done more to tempt us with their relationship later on in the series. The writing changed and some of the characters seemed to disappear about midway through the first season, but I still consider this one of ... Read More

- Love this show!This show is even better than I remembered. I hope they release the remaining episodes quickly. What I don't understand why did they cancel this show for LeFemme Nakita?

- It's about time!The Big Easy has been long overdue for a dvd run. The series is a deliciously written storyline woven through the streats of New Orleans, with a hometown cop/detective and district attourney from the northeast at the center of it all. Definately worth it to watch, as the southern charm, good humor and occasional steamy encounters can keep one glued to their seats.

- at long lastTC fans don't delay...here is the moment we've all been waiting for. A complete, TC packed season of N'Orleans heat. It wasn't "Easy" when this smoldering show was so insensitively seized from us, but we can now reignite the fire...so grab a glass of absinthe, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride as we escape into our ceaseless season one fantasies!
