Parco P.I.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parco P.I. is a reality television program that airs on Court TV. The series is about the cases of New York City-based private investigator Vincent "Vinny" Parco. [1] The show gained considerable attention before its second season premiere for its viral marketing using billboards that posed as a letter from a wife named "Emily" to her unfaithful husband "Steven". In the letter, "Emily" reveals that she knows about Steven's infidelity and implies that she will file for divorce from him. This gained the attention of blogs and mainstream media, questioning the billboards' legitimacy and speculating as to what the billboards were really about. [2] The series was cancelled but re-runs continue to air on Court TV in the early morning. The show was filmed in and around Parco's real-life office near 33rd Street and 5th Avenue near the Empire State building. Parco and his staff are local fixtures and can regularly be spotted in the neigbourhood as they work on real-life cases.
