DET. RAY CARLING
(Michael Imperioli)
“Life on Mars’’
It wasn’t just the 1970s mustache. But the mustache, of the Fu Manchu persuasion, was definitely a plus. And so were the polyester duds. Carling was macho and he was a sleazebag, but he had the potential to offer a new twist on Sipowicz from “NYPD Blue.’’ Yeah, Imperioli was and always will be Christopher from “The Sopranos,’’ but as Carling we almost forgot that. Let’s give Ray his own 1970s cop vehicle, “Fu Manchu Blue.’’
