They just don't make TV shows like this anymore. Glad to see this on DVD. "Hill Street Blues" is what good television used to be. I miss the early Steven Bochco days. Anyone even thinking about writing a police drama or episodic-cop series needs to pick this up ASAP. Words can't describe how much I miss the quality that a show like this represented. Almost everything on TV now is so formulaic. I'd take "Hill Street Blues" any day over some of the current mess that's on TV. This show brings back good memories. I hope since it's on DVD that it can reach a new generation. But I'm glad that I had the opportunity to watch it during its original run. Brilliant are the only appropriate words. I hope that television can return to its glory days. Hopefully, the young people will take a hint and get into some of the older stuff.
