Remember the Nekkid Baldwin Club? That man was a TALL drink of water! 😂
So I started watching the NYPD Blue channel on Roku TV. Unlike Tubi, where you can pick what episode you want to watch, Roku TV airs the show on a loop through all 12 seasons and then starts over again.
Man I loved this show! But holy cannoli, I forgot how racy it was. "Fade to Black" was NOT an option on this show, lol. Naked butts everywhere and lots of side boob too. Also the cursing. I do remember that they were one of the first shows to push the envelope and airing at 10PM helped their case. Oh and they air the N word and other racial slurs without bleeping them. I don't remember if this was an ABC show or an NBC show, but I do remember that it was ahead of it's time with the realism.
(Re)watching now.......This show was like the OG L&O franchise. In that if you were a NY actor, you did at least a guest spot on this show. I watch with IMDB open on my laptop. I started a list of (now) famous actors that had bit parts on NYPD Blue. It quickly became ridiculously long so I abandoned it. Even baby Christopher Meloni (Elliott Stabler on SVU) played Jimmy Liery for a 5 episode arc. But seriously, everyone did this show!
This show had it all. They did humor so off the cuff, so dry...it was hilarious. They also did tear jerking drama like no one else. When Bobby Simone died.....Sylvia's death (take care of the baby)....UGH! And don't get me started on Andy Jr.
Dennis Franz/Sipowicz was the heart and soul of the show.
Okay, I'm done now. Any of the old NYPD Blue gang still around? (It was so long ago that the only person I remember from the weekly posts is Sherri and I know she doesn't post here anymore)
