Follow the Parco’s, a family of New York City private eyes, as they crack cases and expose secrets at their family-run private investigation firm. Patriarch and P.I. Vinny Parco owns Intercontinental Investigations. His team includes his headstrong daughter Danielle, his unruly twin sons Chris and Vinny Jr., and his no-nonsense wife Carol, all of whom spend their days working the phones, their computers and their contacts to help Vinny dig up information for clients. Also helping to track down cheating spouses or corrupt business partners is Vinny’s team of “angels.” They’re always ready to conduct surveillance or collect evidence from all kinds of shady characters. Crashing upscale parties aboard yachts, busting jewel thieves; Vinny will do whatever it takes. It’s not always easy being the First Family of New York private investigators. Real cases. Real fun.

PARCOL'S ANGELS
Beautiful women who go undercover for Vinny and are sort of like Charlie's Angels with exotic accents.

PARCO'S "OFFICE"
Much of the investigative planning in “Parco P.I.” takes place over Italian dinners at Belvedere Trattoria, located at 165 Lexington Avenue in New York City. Dino Kosic, a manager at the restaurant, says Vinny’s favorite dishes are a Caprese antipasto, veal with sliced mushrooms and a tiramisu desert.
<HR>
THIS COMING WEEK:
The Cheating Accountant
The client, Mrs. Randazzo, comes to Vinny suspecting her husband of cheating. Through computer tracking by the family and surveillance by the investigation team, they find that Mr. Randazzo frequents a certain suspicious building after work that houses - among other things - an escort service. Suspecting that Mr. Randazzo is a client of the service, Vinny sends one of his best investigators, or one of his “girls”, in undercover to see if she can catch him in the act.
The Broke Yachtsman
Vinny is hired by a new client, Mr. Banks, who was conned out of almost a million dollars by a man named Michael Mantini. When Banks tried to get his money back, Mantini declared bankruptcy - and won - leaving Banks with nothing. However, Banks is convinced that Mantini is anything but broke. With the help of an informant and his “girls”, Vinny leads an investigative crusade to find Mantini’s hidden assets. But the office staff is so wrapped up in hosting their annual Halloween party that some of the staff—Vinny’s boys— slack off on their investigative responsibilities, throwing a wrench in the Mantini case and forcing Vinny and the “girls” to come up with a new plan.

There is a new P.I. Series coming on T.V. Sun. Aug. 28th on CourTV. (Channel 204 with Dishnet). Comes on at (9 or 10 pm) depending on where you live.
The guys name is Parco and he lives in New York. I think it may be a series like Dog the Bounty Hunter but he is a P.I. I think he may work with his family like The Dog does.
I hope it's a good show-

If you watch Court TV then you definetly have seen the ads for the new show. I believe the name of the show is Parco P.I. and it is supposed to be pretty good. Like all the rest, i'm looking forward to seeing what type of cases he's involved in. Should be a good one!

QUOTE:
Private investigator Vincent Parco, a middle-aged, balding man who spoke with a heavy New York City inflection, took the stand on February 21. Tom Warmus described Parco’s speech as “a dialect or accent, almost like a Looney Tune or comic character, almost not a normal-type voice.”
Dressed in a gray suit and burgundy tie, Parco listened carefully to the oath and said loudly “I do!” as he sat down in the witness chair.
Some law enforcement professionals do not hold private investigators in high regard. They sometimes work on the fringe of the law and frequently resort to unethical methods in order to get the job done.
In his opening statement, even McCarty warned the jury about Parco’s reputation: “He is testifying under a cooperation agreement and he’s not very credible. Vincent Parco bears no resemblance to TV private investigators like Tom Selleck. By his own account he did a very sleazy thing.”
Upon questioning, Parco explained how he came to meet Carolyn Warmus when she appeared in his office a few years before. She hired him to do some investigative work regarding a previous boyfriend. He told the court that Carolyn later asked him on several occasions to get a gun for her.
“She had mentioned that there was a series of burglaries in her neighborhood, which is very common in New York City,” he said. But she also mentioned a woman in Westchester that concerned her. She said that she needed the gun for protection.
Parco said that at first he considered going to another state to simply buy the gun over the counter. Carolyn also told Parco that she had I.D. that wasn’t hers.
“She told me that one of the employees or teachers in her school had left a pocketbook or wallet in the locker room and that she had picked up some identification that she might use in the future,” Parco said.
He went on to describe how the subject of a silencer came up and how Carolyn was very interested in this device.
“And from that time on she became persistent about getting a silencer for the firearm,” he said on the stand. “At some point I told her that an arbitrary price probably would be about $2,500 for the gun and silencer. She agreed to pay any price.”
During the week of January 7, 1989, a week before the murder, Parco said he delivered the .25-caliber Beretta handgun with a silencer to Carolyn’s apartment.
A day after the murder, Parco said Carolyn called and told him that a “teacher’s wife has been stabbed or bludgeoned eight or nine times.”
"She said the police had questioned her about the incident but she denied any involvement.
"I said ‘Are you sure she wasn’t shot?’ and she said no and I asked her, ‘What about the gun?’ and she said she wanted me to pick it up,” Parco said during testimony.
Later, Parco also testified that Carolyn told him she threw away the gun on a parkway somewhere.
Defense lawyer David Lewis wanted to show the jury that it was possible that Parco and Paul Solomon planned to frame Carolyn for Betty Jeanne’s murder. Lewis emphasized Parco’s lack of credibility and made sure the jury saw the witness’ tendency to lie so easily.
“And one of your special skills is being able to tell a story that’s a complete lie to total strangers and get them to believe it right?” Lewis asked.
“Yes,” Parco said.
"When you’re lying to total strangers, that’s when you’re really being the most real. Right?”
“Yes,” said Parco again.
“And the truth is the story you told when? The first time? The second time? The third time?”
“When I tell it here,” Parco answered. He also said that he also became infatuated with Carolyn. He said that he had met her many times at restaurants, went out to the movies and had drinks together. But, he said, they never had sex.
One time, around Christmas, Parco said, Carolyn called him and said that she was in sexy, black lingerie and wanted him to come over to her apartment. Parco said he declined the invitation.
“I was very tired and said, ‘Let’s do it Saturday night.”
“You refused because you were tired and had a headache?” Lewis asked sarcastically.
“I didn’t have a headache,” Parco replied with a straight face.

SEASON II Carolyn Warmus: Few are blessed with an upbringing the likes of which Carolyn Warmus experienced. The daughter of a self-made millionaire, Carolyn was raised a spoiled socialite whose every material desire was easy obtained or fulfilled. To put it simply, Carolyn got what Carolyn wanted, including men. After obtaining her graduate degree from Columbia University, Carolyn got a job at a Greenburgh elementary school where she met sixth-grade teacher, Paul Solomon. Carolyn liked Paul, and Paul was easily seduced by the young temptress's blond hair, voluptuous figure, and sassy personality. The two soon began a torrid, sexually charged love affair. There was one small problem, though - Paul was a married man. But Carolyn got what Carolyn wanted, and Paul was at the top of her 'want list'.
On January 15th, 1989, Carolyn called Paul at his home and suggested they rendezvousfor a romantic evening at one of their favorite restaurants. Paul obliged, left home early to establish an alibi at the bowling lanes incase his wife got suspicious, and went to meet his young lover at the time they agreed upon. But Carolyn was late. Fifteen minutes later the young mistress sauntered in and the two enjoyed an evening of food, laughs, and a little after dinner sex in the backseat of Solomon's car. When Solomon arrived home, he discovered the bloody, bullet-ridden corpse of his wife. He quickly called the authorities and when questioned by police, Solomon confessed to his affair with Warmus. Police began to investigate Warmus and discovered that in the months leading up to the death of Solomon's wife, Warmus had made numerous phone calls to a sleazy Manhattan private detective, Vincent Parco. Warmus had originally hired Parco to tail her married lover, but the sexy nymphet had turned her charms on the private dick and eventually requested a gun with a silencer. Parco, infatuated with his young client's alluring physicality and sexy persona, eagerly provided the gun and silencer, but not before testing the weapon first. Police retrieved several shell casings from the site where Parco said the weapon was tested and compared them with shell casings that were found next to Mrs. Solomon's freshly murdered body. Not only did the casings share the same caliber (.25mm) but they were also fired from the same gun. Another rundown of Carolyn's phone records showed she had called a New Jersey gun store. Detectives visited the store and learned that a woman had purchased .25mm ammunition the day Mrs. Solomon was killed, but the drivers license provided as ID in the purchase belonged to a Lisa Kattai. Once located, Ms. Kattai denied visiting the Jersey weapons store. When asked how her drivers license was used to purchase ammunition, Kattai said her purse, along with her ID, had been stolen at a temporary job the previous summer. She then nonchalantly mentioned that, while at that job, she had happened to work with a woman named Carolyn Warmus. Police quickly apprehended the millionaire heiress on suspicion of murder.
Fittingly enough, Carolyn Warmus was dressed to kill for her second-degree murder trial, arriving every day in very short, very tight miniskirts and designer clothes. With her striking good looks, expensive outfits, and murderous persona, Warmus was the embodiment of the 'femme fatal': a sexy, dangerous blond bombshell that seemed to step right out of the hardboiled detective films and pulp novels of the 40s. And the cinematic associations don't end there. Paul Solomon sold the rights to his story to HBO before the trial began for an undisclosed sum of money. While Carolyn maintained her innocence, the evidence the prosecution presented and obvious motive they proposed, coupled with the testimony of Vincent Pardo, were damning to her case. The jury deliberated for 11 days before it was announced the trial had resulted in a hung jury, hopelessly deadlocked 8 to 4 in favor of conviction. In January of 1992, a new trial began which ended with a guilty verdict for Carolyn Warmus. Two TV movies about the case halted production during the new trial, eagerly awaiting a verdict so they could finish their films with the appropriate ending. She was sentenced June 26, 1992. However, at her sentencing hearing, Carolyn opted for a much more modest wardrobe than the designer dresses and sexy miniskirts that she had adorned at her first trial, and arrived in sweats with no makeup and disheveled hair. Carolyn was sentenced to 25 years to life for the murder of her lover's wife. Her attorneys filed an appeal in 2001. She will be eligible for parole in 2017, when she

I'm about in the same boat as Tom. As a retired P.I. after 23 years, I found the show too fake or cold. Not at all impressed. That is not to say that Mr. Parco isn't a good Private Investigator, just that the directors and producers want a viewing audience and as such, "hipe" a lot of "funny" stuff that the general public doesn't know about and believe what they see and hear. Private Investigations is a proud profession and should be view as such.

In my personal opinion, I found much value to be saved (I am making a DVD copy of all of the shows off my satelite).
Unlike the other idiotic reality shows which are unscripted with amateurs, this show is not exactly a reality show, and neither is it recorded live during the actual investigation.
If you examine the opening disclaimer, it appears the episode is based on a real investigation. Therefore, it is somewhat scripted, but the essence of the real deal is still there, especially since they film the scripted episode with the real PI's.
That may explain why the yacht looked so small when the facts of the case (and the script) indicated it should be a much larger yacht. I have been on yachts, and the one they used was a so-so mini-luxury version. That said, the original yacht was probably very large.
Otherwise, the target, Mr. Baldy, who was 00000000 the bankruptcy court, would have had an acting job. He's probably in jail by now.
Summary:
Real Case
Scripted for filming at a later time
Use same PI's
Hire additional actors to play the targets and minor parts.
<hr>
And as mentioned, there is a LOT to be noted in how he interviewed his client, how he used his resources (although I am not sure about New York law where PI's can get a phone record lawfully ;) ), his preparation for the undercover portion, his prep for his Angels and his two goof ball PI sons, and the rest.
Then again, this is my personal take,
All my best to everyone,
Robert

I thoroughly enjoy Parco PI each week. I'm a huge CourtTV fan. I find Parco's family a bit crazy. Last week his wife was a huge pain in the rear. Interrrupting him on important phone calls to complain about the furniture....
Granted, I see some talented investigators working for him who do fantastic work. Obviously a lot of the video has been re-created for effect, but that's part of entertainment.
As for you "Dog" fans out there: I think Duane Chapman is a joke, and constantly violates more laws and constitutional amendments than the criminals he apprehends. Bounty hunters aren't really like that, are they? I personally am not involved in recovery, but if I were, I certainly would not resort to the tactics used by "Dog".

Go Vinny Go! His show is very funny to me and I like it alot. I know that they are re-creating the cases. Check out his web address. Try doing a google search for his company name. Seems Vinny has been around the block once or twice.
As for "DOG" I watch his show also. I like him too. What you must remember is all shows (Parco PI & DOG) stay on the air based on ratings. These rating come from who's likeable and who's not. Alot of what "DOG" does is for ratings and playing to the camera. I've done some Fugitive recovery OPS and I've never had to ramp up to his level but yet I don't have cameras following me around also. Remember, he was awarded by the Hawaii state legislature for his hard work and efforts. :cool:
As for him violating more rights than his criminals he arrests... well fugitive recovery is sometimes not pretty. People don't want to go back to jail. That's why they're are FUGITIVES. Remember his show survives off of ratings. Some like him, others hate him, either way people still watch!
I can't tell you how many e-mails I get from people wanting to get into this line of work based upon what they seen on TV. I give them the realities of it and I never hear from them again. :eek:

There are very FEW PI shows out there. Even if the show is not for everyone, I am recording it on DVDs and obtaining bits and pieces that support what I already know about the business. Can newcomers learn from Vinny? Sure. But don't judge the show by a few weeks. Give it time, and remember it's all we have right now. (Where is James Garner?) ;)

At the commercial break, I was wondering if the wife was tipped off by Parco or one of his investigators as to the whereabouts of the husband but fortunately, the cardinal rule was not broken and she found out his whereabouts by her own detective work.
I've heard of cases ending tragically when a investigator informs the spouse as to where the shenanigans is taking place and leads to a quite ugly confrontation.

My personal opinions of Vinny Parco and Dog the Bounty Hunter is as follows: We must remember that these shows are on T.V. and there are camera crews following and filming their every move, just as they are on "COPS", therefore they can't do certain things, and other things they must do! I love DOG also....because I understand DOG's sensitivity to the fugitives...why? I extradited fugitives from state-to-state, city-to-city, county-to-county, etc. I had as many as 13 male and female fugitives in my van at a time, and they travelled many states and cities with you. As a police officer, I sometimes forget that they are human beings, but when I extradited them, you realized that they are human beings and I eventually became sensitive to their needs and feelings. So, for the person that made the comment pertaining to DOG's sensitivity to the fugitives......it's a good thing in my opinion. You can not be nice and sensitive to all fugitives. Before we dog out Vinny Parco and /or The DOG, let's remember these are TV shows.

Cheryl....PI life and work is not glamorous or easy by any means. My opinion about the Undercover ladies dressing like that......it's no different then a police officer going undercover or for sting operations (prostitution). You have to dress the part.....you have to act the part!! If Vinny Parco has a case that requires a sexy woman to be able to get next to a businessman or a cheating husband......then he do and use what he needs to solve the case.....and you know what? It works. Parco is using sexy women to catch or throw the men off-guard. I hope I explained my point and helped you.

Matthew,
As the other person stated, Fugitive Recovery is not piece of cake, because fugitives don't want to go back to jail/prison and will do what it takes not to go back, so DOG's tactics and methods are reasonable. I have not missed any of DOG's show since they have been on TV, and I have never seen him violate the law or any of his fugitives' rights. I will tell you... as a police officer, I have had to use less tactful/tasteful tactics than the DOG has ever used(on the camera..LOL!). To recover fugitives, you will do and use whatever it takes to get the job done! (I'm not saying that police or recovery agents violate the law/rights) :D You say if you were in Fugitive Recovery, you would not resort to DOG's tactics.....I say if you ever get into that field of work, your opinion would change, because you would do what you had to do to get your job done. I would love to hear from you years and years down the road if you ever decide to do Recovery...okay? Take care and be safe!

I agree with Lisa. I certainly don't condone unnecessarily dressing like a flusie, however, as a PI we may find that we have to dress certain parts in order to accomplish our goal. I read about one PI who even goes so far as wearing fake moustache/beard. I know that if I go into a bar to watch someone or get info, I don't wear my tie and suit jacket. I dress the part...

This is probably the reason I will never get into bail recovery! :) Actually, I'm so green right now I'm just happy getting a few surveillance jobs or some background checks. It's rewarding work, and pays extremely well for little work. I still have a full-time day job, so this PI thing is extra money on the side.

Wow! I just saw the show for the first time. It looks a little more glamorous than the work I've done in the past.
Of course, I've only done surveillance... those guys go undercover. I don't know if I could pull something like that off.

I think it took me about 4 episodes before I started to value what Vinny offers from the inside out. Each case can be a challenge to view, but when you put them altogether - it really adds value.
He is also a New Yorker and not the Rockwell beach type that I know of.
Running an office is not easy, and he is at the elevated spot of his life to delegate to the young types who do his bidding.
I am also collecting all of his episodes on for my personal DVD collection commercial free.

I saw an episode of this show for the first time the other day and I thought it was great. I did learn somethings about stake outs. I also watched a show that was called PI I think and it was showing surveillance of insurance frauds. I did learn something.

I would like to catch this show if i can, but it appears the from reading here the main selling point of any profitable show on t.v.is being used ,T&A. We'll see. thats my thought.

used to catch it on court TV at 1 am or sometimes 12 midnight, i think if it had been in a time slot that was in prime time or close to it, it would have fared a much better fate...
