Classic NYPD Blue episode today

On Court TV, from the first year. It featured:

* David Caruso and Sherry Stringfield, the future Dr. Susan Lewis of ER fame, in a steamy shower scene.

* Future Friends star David Schwimmer as B4, a tenant in Caruso's old apartment building (Spoiler alert, he later gets shot and killed)

* Future Just Shoot Me star Wendy Malick as an abused wife who shoots her husband to death.

* Future Judging Amy star Amy Brennerman as Caruso's jilted love interest.

Pretty heavy=hitting lineup for an hour TV show.

 

Davis Caruso and steamy shower scene simply don't go together.

 

If Dennis Franz doesn't get naked ... I don't watch

 

Sorry, just wanted to preserve this one.

Carry on.

 

Was Caruso wearing sunglasses?

 

The pilot of Miami Vice is on right now. Jimmy Smits is in it.

 

Wasn't watching him. However, Ms. Stringfellow looked excellent (as did Sharon Lawrence in the Andy Sipowitz shower scene).

Wendy Malick was wearing sunglasses in this episode.  8)

It's the fourth episode, first year. Schwimmer bites it on a subway platform, trying to play hero.

 

It's fun going back to see all the bit characters. I know Charlotte Ross played a bit part in some early episode, a battered wife maybe, only to come back and play a detective a few years later.

Perhaps not in a coincidence, Jessie Spano was a love interest for Baldwin Jones before Zack Morris became a bad-ass detective. Screech shoulda played a skell. Then all would've been right with the world.

 

I caught the end of the one episode yesterday and delayed plans to watch the one wear Caruso is playing in a pickup basketball game and a buddy punches another and kills the guy. What a great episode.

It is amazing to see how far Caruso has come since then. He was great in the first season or so and now he is a walking joke. Kind of like Chris Berman.
