'Oz' Stars to Reunite

From IMDB:

The members of the cast of the HBO prison series Oz have been reunited to appear as jurors on Tuesday's episode of the new Fox drama The Jury. In an interview with today's (Thursday) Philadelphia Inquirer, Tom Fontana, who created both shows, remarked, "Oz fans aren't used to these characters interacting without brutalizing each other. 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.)

I'm looking forward to seeing this show. That episode is now as a must see

I've never actually seen the juror. What channel and time is it on?

I absolutely loved Oz. I wish they would bring out Region 2 DVDs.

most of the big caracters were killed off before the end though so they wont be in the show.

Luckily enough when the characters were killed, the actors were let live
Oz is not set in the same TV universe as "The Jury" so they can show up as jurors if they wish. They may be using the set itself but that doesn't mean it's Oswald State Penitentiary.

I've only seen the first two episodes of The Jury. It was pretty good, but not enough for me to bother staying in watch it the following week. I'll definitely be watch the Ox ep though, it's scheduled for this tuesday. The jury will be made up of:

Bob Rebadow
Kareem Said (whose real name is actually Eamonn)
Vernon Schillinger
Dino Ortolani
Suzanne Fitzgerald
Cyril O'Reily
'Poet'
Det. Nancy Mears
Luis Ricardo
Lenore Hughes
Margarita Ricardo
Carrie Schillinger

They could have done with some more major characters. I'd only consider half of those to be Oz cast.

An enjoyable episode, helped by the fact it had some decent actors whose work I knew. Even the non-juror non-regulars were familiar faces. I also like the way that, after the verdict has been given, we get to see how the crime actually happened and whether the verdict was justified or not.
