Anyone know if NYPD Blue is still being shown on Spectrum TV in the Stl. area & what channel it is on?
NYPD Blue was and is the only "cop show" that I actively followed. I understand entertainment and keeping your audience attentive for 45 minutes. No matter how many new coats of paint you apply, the finite number of themed stories can be trotted out only so many times.
"Blue" kept and keeps me coming back as it never made the actual crime the star of the show. It was about the leg work afterwards. Not a lot of back-patting but frustration and irritation with a less than cooperative public and a system that, at times, hinders rather than helps.
It had a sales pitch that I could buy.
Like others, I believe Franz was born to be Sip.

Liked NYPD Blue but was glad when Caruso left the show! 
He got his start on Hill Street as a street punk, didn't like him there either!
Hill Street was another story in itself?
Today I really do enjoy Blue Bloods with Tom Selleck. I really believe they have a good cast ensemble and they all play off each other very well. Especially the 3 in the Commissioners office along with Sgt. Baker!

Detective Sipowicz's rehabilitation both of alcoholism, and his character softening, are both evolutions in life. Alcoholics get sober, or die. Bigots do change. Lot's of people are not so jaded or biased, that they can't change.
Andy's ultimate friendship with John Irvin has its roots in the episode when Andy's wife is murdered, and John is wounded. Irvin literally took a bullet, and those type of heroics stand out for Andy.

When Hill Street was on, it was my favorite show. In the end of 2015 one of our local stations pick up the "Heroes and Icons" network, and played 2 hours of Hill Street followed by 2 hours of NYPD Blue, 7 days a week. Seeing them together like that I realized I liked NYPD Blue much better. My wife and I got hooked, and went through all 12 seasons.
I like Blue Bloods as well, although the Erin character, while easy on the eye, is a bit too self-righteous for my tastes.
I agree. The character development was very good, but some of the plot lines were totally unrealistic. The show had some great seasons, but it also had some clunkers mixed in.
Sipowicz was supposed to be killed off on the first episode, but he ended up being the only character that was on the entire run.
Barney Miller was pretty realistic, at least from what I saw over the years. Just as Scrubbs was the most realistic medical show. Funny how comedies often end up being more realistic than any drama.
Crime Story was good the first season, but died when they moved it to Las Vegas.
Police Story was entertaining, if not entirely realistic. I've never seen it in syndication, which is something of a surprise.
