Classic NYPD Blue II

Yeah, yeah, me again waxing poetic about this show.

Couldn't sleep last night, go to the TV room and turn on TNT at midnight. Episode I, Andy Jr. is murdered and Sipowitz falls of the wagon, Donna Abandando leaves; episode II, Andy Sr. gets thrown out of the house, Bobby Simone kills Andy Jr.'s killers, Sipowitz gets beaten up, loses his gun, and then finally hits bottom and asks for help and getrs a major break from Lt. Fancy.

Appearances in Episolde II from Lola Glaudini, who is now one of the stars of Criminal Minds, and from another great character, Leland Orser, a scumbag. Upstairs John gets ready to take over as the PII.

Man, I loved that show. The subsequent episodes where Andy Jr. appears in Andy Sr.'s dreams were really chilling.

 

Watched every single episode during a three-month span on CourtTV a while back, and to this day it's my favorite show to watch while I'm on the treadmill or the bike at the gym. The reruns never get old.
