Steven Bochco, Creative Force Behind 'Hill Street Blues,' 'L.A. Law' and 'NYPD Blue,' Dies at 74

“Hill Street Blues” looks more brilliant every time I catch a glimpse of it.

Definitely a pioneer to the era of prestige TV we have now.

Cop Rock.

Sad to hear this news. "Hill Street Blues" has been one of my favorite shows since it first aired.

I will also ride for the first season of Murder One.

Hill Street Blues was my first favorite grown up drama. An amazing show which so many other shows owe a debt.

 

[LongTimeListener]

I will also ride for the first season of Murder One.

Yes. That season was tremendous.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

Yes. That season was tremendous.

Agreed.

The original writer of Columbo, the best-written detective show in television history.

BTW, the pilot was directed by some guy named Steven Spielberg.

Without "Hill Street Blues," I don't know if you have "Law & Order," "Homicide: Life on the Street," "The Wire," etc. HSB was that groundbreaking.

True. People hated the "handheld camera" style, the cross-talk.
