To see them behaving in a relatively normal manner ... [as jurors] appealed to me." Fontana also is bringing back the prison set used in Oz, and in fact created the episode around it. (It concerns the trial of a convict accused murder during a prison brawl.)

Sounds cool, I've got to check that out.

:lol: It would be funny to see Beecher and Shillenger (if they will appear in the episode) sitting together on the jury and deciding the fate of the verdict :p

I will definately check this out.

I checked the actor's pages from the Oz page in the IMDB...here's who's in the episode of The Jury (and no, they're not playing their Oz characters):

J.K. Simmons (Vern Schillinger)
George Morfogen (Bob Rebadow)
Eamonn Walker (Kareem Said)
muMs da Schemer (Poet)
Jon Seda (Dino Ortolani)
R.E. Rodgers (James Robson)

I'm sure there's more, but I just checked the pages of the major characters. No Beecher, no O'Riley...darn. :(

No O'Reiley? Dayam!

There goes my Beecher/Shillinger prediction :(

Speaking of Beecher, did you guys see that movie Monster? The guy who played Beecher played a sicko rapist...quite a change from his Oz persona, eh?

It's weird to go from total sympathy for a character to absolute disgust.

I had taped the episode of The Jury, and I watched it last night. It was amusing to see some of the cast back together again, but it would have been cooler if the entire jury was made up of Oz cast members (it was only about 2/3rds). Some of them were just filler actors. Robson playing a hack was funny. Overall, however, the show was kinda boring, as courtroom/jury dramas tend to be.

I'm officially LTTP, but i've watched up to season 3 and all I have to say is GOD DAMN this show is good, and therefore it deserves a bump from the grave.
