Bad cops make good TV. That’s certainly the case in the excellent F/X series The Shield. It stars Michael Chiklis, who has come a long way from playing John Belushi in Wired (1989) and portraying a cop on the hit TV drama The Commish. He plays the crooked detective who leads a team of criminal peace officers who are more interested in getting a piece of the pie, whether that’s money or honey. And they get a lot of both. Thanks to the series being produced on a cable network, there’s also ample nudity, though it’s usually hard to see with the fast edits. Still, the mean streets of Los Angeles are filled with heavenly angels who can’t wait to spread their wings for the bad boys of the LAPD.

Mr. Skin’s DVD Pick of the Week

Easy Rider (1969)—Blu-Ray
STUDIO: Sony
NUDE: Luana Anders (breasts), Toni Basil (breasts, butt), Sabrina Scharf (breasts)
Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda are far-out hippies on choppers who set out to find America—and sell a lot of cocaine—in the classic Easy Rider (1969). Along the way they meet rednecks and turn on a then unknown Jack Nicholson to the wonders of weed. This low-budget sleeper came from nowhere to become a huge box-office hit and single-handedly spawned the biker genre. It's heavy existential ending may bum your high, but scenes like Sabrina Scharf skinny-dipping with Hopper in the commune or a pre-"Mickey" Toni Basil romping naked through Mardi Gras on acid will keep your freak flag flying. Karen Black was also in that Mardi Gras sequence but kept her clothes on.
