Set
against the gritty and volatile backdrop of New York City, "NYPD
Blue" powerfully portrays realistic characters devoted to the
pursuit of justice while struggling to maintain an ever-elusive sense of
humanity. In spite of -- or perhaps because of -- the danger of the
streets, the chaos of the squad room and the fragility of their own
private lives, the members of the 15th Precinct share a strong
commitment to the job -- and each other.
"NYPD
Blue" has been America's top choice in the hour since the series'
inception in the fall of 1993. It won the coveted award for
Outstanding Drama Series in its sophomore year, and received Emmy Awards
for writing and directing in its fourth and fifth seasons. The show has
received an astounding 82 Emmy nominations, winning 19.
"NYPD
Blue" is a Steven Bochco Production, co-created by Bochco and Milch.
Bochco serves as executive producer along with Mark Tinker and former
New York City police detective Bill Clark.
