Hill Street Blues (1981)

"LET’S BE CAREFUL OUT THERE." So ends each roll call session at the Hill Street station house. As the cops and detectives head out to the streets, Captain Frank Furillo begins the delicate balancing act of providing enough protection for the law-abiding citizens without inciting the neighborhood gangs and local criminal elements who are openly hostile towards any police presence. Yet as dangerous as his inner city precinct can be, Furillo's biggest battles often involve protecting his own cops from the Public Defender's office, self-serving bureaucrats, and even each other.

Hill Street Review

This show was the beginning of it all. A great TV series that allows you to get inside a cops life and at the same time how that influences being a cop and visa versa (mostly visa versa). There is not one actor in the series that is more vital than the other as they are all needed to make it work. From Phil's Hey lets be carefull out there to the DA's "pizza man" and of course Belkers "Hair Ball" comments. The show can be so intense that you get lost in it to the point that when the show ends you actually feel releif when you look around and relize your home. Get this and if/when the other seasons follow get them also January 30, 2006
