Editor's Note
Before it even appeared on the airwaves, NYPD BLUE was the most controversial show on television in 1993. The show broke new ground and, like its characters Sipowicz (Dennis Franz) and Detective John Kelly (David Caruso), it didn't play by the rules. Weaving nudity and foul language into storylines that tackled issues such as vigilante violence, homosexuality, and prostitution, the cop series became a huge hit with an audience who craved reality. In the fourth season, Det. Adrianne Lesniak (Justine Miceli) is replaced by Det. Jill Kirkendall (Andrea Thompson), and James Martinez (Nicholas Turturro) meets his future wife, Gina Colon (Lourdes Benedicto).

NYPD Blue has long been considered one of the best shows on television, earning a slew of Emmy's and critical praise for its acting, writing, and take-no-prisoners dialog. The show combines innovative camera work with gritty plots, complicated characters, and enough naughty language and partial nudity to keep even the casual viewer glued to her television set. - Susan Glen
