New York Undercover is a one-hour police drama that ran on the FOX network from 1994 to 1998. The program was popular among its hip-hop oriented target audience, and starred Malik Yoba as Det. J.C. Williams and Michael DeLorenzo as Det. Eddie Torres, two undercover detectives in New York City's 4th Precinct, assigned to investigate various crimes and gang-related cases. The cast also included Patti D'Arbanville-Quinn as their boss, Lt. Virginia Cooper, and Lauren Vélez, who joined the cast in the second season as Nina Moreno, fellow detective and love interest to Torres.

New York Undercover is notable for being the first police drama on American television to feature two people of color in the starring roles. In contrast to the popularity of NBC's "Must See TV" on Thursday nights in the 1990s, many African-American viewers flocked to FOX's Thursday night line-up of Living Single, New York Undercover, and Martin. In fact, these were the three highest rated series among Black households (in this respective order) for the 1996-1997 season.

Besides solving each week's case, the show, produced by Law & Order creator Dick Wolf, also explored the private lives of its characters. For example, Det. Williams struggled to raise his young son, Gregory (George O. Gore II), while Torres was shown to be fighting family and other related problems, including having to cope with his father's drug addiction and HIV-positive status and a childhood friend turned gang leader.

At the beginning of the third season, a new detective, Tommy McNamara (Jonathan LaPaglia), was introduced as a principal character. In the third-season finale in May 1997, Torres and Moreno were married. However, in that same episode, Torres and McNamara were both killed by a gang of bank robbers. Many viewers believe that these events—particularly the death of Torres and the departure of Michael DeLorenzo—caused New York Undercover to "jump the shark," since the friendship of Williams and Torres was a major dynamic of the series.

New York Undercover returned with a new cast for its fourth and final season in January 1998. Williams and Moreno were assigned to a new unit, resulting in D'Arbanville-Quinn being dropped from the cast. Joining the detectives were Lt. Malcolm Barker (played by Thomas Mikal Ford), Det. Nell Delaney (Marisa Ryan), and Det. Alec Stone (Josh Hopkins). The new unit eventually captured the last bank robber responsible for the deaths of Torres and McNamara.

An excellent American police drama that was presented on the FOX television network from 1994 to 1998 was publicly known as "New York Undercover". This series was starred by Malik Yoba as Detective J.C.

New York Undercover, with former name as Uptown Undercover was notable because of being first police drama at American television. Which featured two people of color that time in the starring roles?

With solving each case of a week which was produced by Dick Wolf it also presents the private life of the characters. Just like Det. Williams struggled to raise his young son, Gregory, while Torres was shown to be fighting family and some other related problems like having to cope with his father's drug addiction and HIV-positive status and his childhood friend turned gang leader.

When the third season began, a change was made by a new detective named Tommy McNamara played by Jonathan LaPaglia and was introduced as a main character. Another change in this season was that in May 1997, Torres and Moreno were married. And the sad scene in this episode was that Torres and McNamara were both killed by a gang of bank robbers.

Fourth was the final season of New York Undercover which returned with a new cast for in January 1998. The two detectives were Williams and Moreno as a new unit, resulting in a drop of D’Arbanville-Quinn from the cast. While joining detectives were Lt. Malcolm Barker performed by Tommy Ford, Det. Nell Delaney played by Marisa Ryan, and Det. Alec Stone played by Josh Hopkins. The new unit with its great success captured the last bank robbers who were responsible for the deaths of Torres and McNamara.
