I guess no one has mentioned "NYPD Blue" because everyone already knows that it was the best cop show EVER, so the discussion is for second place. That must be it, right? Kinda like "Well obviously Michael Jordan was the greatest NBA player, but who's next?" Dennis Franz has set the standard for all TV detectives, and the rest of the cast including Nick Turturo, James McDaniel, Esai Morales, and of course Jimmy Smits made for 12 seasons of great drama. The list of bit actors that have gone on to star status is endless, and the writing credits read like a who's who list of the most acclaimed people in the business.

...If only they'd gotten rid of the "10-year-old playing w/his daddy's camcorder" style of camera work in "NYPD Blue", I could have stood it a LOT better.

Nick Turturro is only the worst actor of all-time. His stinko sister on The Sopranos is in the running for worst actress. Nothing like coasting on brother John's coattails.

Broadcast TV.
Homicide by a land slide. Set new trends in all areas. NYC-Kojak LA-Dragnet. Original and remake which never made it. Cable HBO The Wire- This to me is obviously the best of all time. What a great show. Very realistic and down to earth. As Homicide it's done about Baltimore.

Another vote for Homicide.
Anybody remember "Boomtown?" It was only on for one season a few years back. Was set in LA. Very unique premise. It told each crime story from different viewpoints--the cop's, the DA's, the victim's, even the perp's. A few episodes were presented in reverse chronological order. You really had to watch closely to get what was going on. Maybe that's why it only lasted one season, but it had a great ensemble cast, good acting, and intelligent writing. I thought it was a really first-rate cop show.

I've always been a sucker for cop/detective shows. Probably the best shows I've seen from top to bottom imo are the Wire and the Shield. Also love Prime Suspect, Inspector Jane is such a babe. Law & Order, Columbo, Inspector Frost (David Jason is a great actor!), and Monk, are favorites too. I used to watch Law & Order every day. Don't really watch tv anymore but picked up the recent shows at the library. Sounds like I need to start looking for "Cracker".
