Trivia:
Songs played in each episode generally come from the year the crime took place, with some notable exceptions where the soundtrack features a particular artist or theme instead of a year: Season 6 episode "Wings" features the music of Frank Sinatra, Season 5's "Thrill Kill" features only Nirvana tracks, Season 4 featured episodes containing the music of U2 and Bob Dylan, Season 3 featured episodes containing the music of John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen, as well as the episode "Wilkommen" which featured music from "Cabaret", Season 2 had an exclusively Johnny Cash themed episode, as well as "Creatures of the night" which was set around the Rocky Horror Picture show theatrical phenomenon, and features music from the Film soundtrack. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: Frequently, in various episodes, the detectives say that a gun is registered to someone (or that someone has no registered guns, or the like). There is no gun registration in Pennsylvania; it's prohibited by state law. more
Quotes:
Lilly Rush: People shouldn't be forgotten. They matter. They should get justice, too. more

FAQ

In Season 1, Episode 12 "Glued", Lt. Stillman mentions that his daughter was born while he was working the Tim Barnes case in 1980, putting her in her mid 20's, yet in Season 2, Episode 16 "Revenge" his daughter, Janie, mentions being 18 nearly 20 years ago, putting her in her late 30's. Is this a goof, or does he have more than one daughter?
Det. Rush's mother, Ellen, got married in Season 3 Episode 19 "Beautiful Little Fool", yet when we see her again in Season 4, Episode 21 "Torn", she is alone. Is this a goof?
But it wouldn't make sense for the copyright owners to not license these songs for a DVD release, would it? When the songs are heard on the DVD release, wouldn't many people be inspired to purchase the CD or pay for a download?

Riveting and touching with great stories and performances, 12 September 2005
Author: dphelan-1 from Canada

I starting watching COLD CASE while in a hotel room at a conference. When I returned home I found that my wife had also begin watching the very same episode. So we started making it our regular Sunday viewing. It is in a word - fantastic! The mood, the music, the actors, the back stories and the weird plots draw you in each week. In addition they work in themes that are important but they never beat you over the head with them. So far i have seen stories on the ease of getting guns and how they harm society, child abuse, pedophiles, and racism. But I never feel I am being preached to. The episode about the little boy sold into sexual slavery by his uncle and the tragic way this evil pedophile ruined his and others lives will stay with me forever. It was very heartbreaking. The opening credits and the great music by ES Posthumus ( as well as the songs that set the time, place and mood throughout the episodes) are eerie and evocative and just wonderful. I love this show.
