Fairwell NYPD Blue
Tonight is the series finale of NYPD Blue. That is to say that this is the final episode of NYPD Blue to air. This is the last hurrah for the gritty New York based cops that have graced our televisions for the last 12 years. We have seen the struggles, the investigations from Internal Affairs won and lost, the fight with alcoholism lost and won, the demons and ghosts both real and imagined that the characters have fought, the fight with depression lost to a bullet, the fun poked at Dennis Franz by Jay Leno for showing his naked butt on television that was answered on the show by Dennis’ character when he called Jay Leno a “hump”.
And so tonight, I say goodbye to my favorite Tuesday night cop show.
You can bet that there will be a collector’s edition that will be all twelve seasons pus the couple of specials they have run over the years. You can also bet that it will be one of those things that sits on my shelf, that gets viewed many times.
Good night Andy, John Jr, and the whole gang - I for one will miss you.
