Why do I never hear about Ice-T on Law and Order?

Okay, I am very media-savvy. I am about as connected as one can be to pop culture.

Yet I have not seen much, if anything, about the fact that Ice-T has apparently transitioned smoothly and well to TV.

I mean, what if Kool Moe Dee starred on CSI?

What if Erik B. had a recurring role?

It just struck me as odd tonight that Ice-T is what appears to be an accepted, if not celbrated, television fixture. Was there a big splash when this happened, and I just missed it?

This of it this way: if you went into a coma in 1991 and just came out, wouldn't it be kinda weird that Ice-T is starring in a successfult mainstream TV show...as a cop?

I apologize, obviously, for my many excited typos:

celbrated = celebrated

This = Think

successfult = wacky

Perhaps.

I was just struck tonight by the post-modern absurdity of Ice-T as a TV star. It just seems like it kind of happened without much "WTF"?

So I am attempting a global "WTF."

If it doesn't take, so be it.

I know it's not a new thing, Ice-T being on Law and Order. It just struck me tonight as weird and funny.

9/10ths of the threads on ILM have similar geneses.
