In my opinion, "NYPD Blue" was the best police procedural ever. Especially the first five seasons, which are thankfully all available on dvd now.
They were stuck on the fourth season for literally seven years. But Shout Factory finally acquired the rights and just released seasons five and six back to back, and I think season seven comes out in the Fall.
Great show .
As Itsdajacket said, "Blue" in now on Prime. I started watching earlier this summer and then Amazon had to go and release HBO stuff. So I got through 3/4 of Season 1 and then I felt the urge to rewatch "Sopranos" on Prime. I liked watching "Blue" when working on the treadmill. Maybe Sipowitz's rotund appearance is a good subtle motivator.
Caruso was great and then they got really lucky to land Jimmy Smits. Not many shows lose a lead character and don't drop off or improve, but "Blue" did just that. But after they killed off Bobby Simone, I watched but the show lost something huge. I never saw the last 2 seasons.
