What would benefit you, somebody smacking you in the back of the head for about six straight hours, but we got homes to go to – Andy Sipowicz, NYPD Blue.

Wow! THERE’S a character I haven’t thought about in a long time.
There are those who believe without Sipowicz, our first deeply flawed and yet much loved characer, there would have been no Tony Soprano and no Walter White.
NYPD Blue was a ground breaking show for a lot of reasons! :) I’ll be sharing some more of my favourite lines from the show and the characters on upcoming Wednesdays.
Kathy G said it first.
It is difficult to think about a character whose show has never been re-run on Australian free to air tv. Which is a great shame, because while Mash and Seinfeld are fantastic, they are played so often here and shows like NYPD Blue never get a look in. Plus, you can only buy the first 4 seasons here on DVD which means you miss out on eight more seasons. :(
I used to watch all those police shows. Loved Hill Street Blues too. There are a few students at my school or political figures who need to hear his words. ;)
Well, I can think of one recent newbie politician I would love to say that particular line to. :) And certainly we have a prime minister here in Australia who needs to hear it STAT! ;)
Thank you for taking me back to NYPD Blue! I would love to watch this series again.
Leah, would you believe that the UK is the ONLY country in the world where you can purchase all 12 seasons on DVD? You can only get 4 seasons in Australia and US. Some lovely person in the UK has *ahem* made the rest of the show available in various places, though seasons 11 and 12 are both recordings from TV. :)
