	Hill Street Blues
		Hill Street Blues, one of the most innovative and critically acclaimed series in recent television history, aired on NBC from 1981 to 1987.
		Indeed, Hill Street is perhaps the consummate example of the complex equation in U.S. network television between "quality programming" and "quality demographics." Hill Street Blues revolutionized the TV "cop show," combining with it elements from the sitcom, soap opera, and cinema verite-style documentary.
		Hill Street's key antecedents actually were sitcoms, and particularly the half-hour ensemble workplace comedies of the 1970s such as MAS*H, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Barney Miller.

	Hill Street Blues: a critical analysis
		Through Hill Street station streamed all the wicked and wounded that a decadent social order could produce: murderers, muggers, madmen, rapists, pimps, prostitutes, porn merchants, drunkards, drug addicts, schizophrenics, sado-masochists, suicides, survivalists, transvestites, nymphomaiacs, vigilantes, loan sharks, street gangs, unhinged vets, random eccentrics, born-again believers and 'space cases' (eg, a guy claiming to be ET).
		Hill Street Blues tended to be a tight focus on consequences that did not reach out to probe causes.
		Certainly Hill Street Blues stood in sharp contrast to most of the rest of the prime-time crime shows in running counter to the spirit of the Reagan era and refusing to give simple answers to complex questions.

	Hill Street Blues: Season Two DVD Review - MovieWeb
		Hill Street Blues: Season Two is a solidly put together box set that continues the stories of the police officers at Hill Street Station.
		What I think really sets Hill Street Blues apart from a lot of other police shows, is the fact that even though it takes place in the 1980s, it very much seems like a product of the 1970s.
		Hill Street Blues: Season Two is another season of this well done police show.

	Hill Street Blues for DOS - MobyGames
		Hill Street Blues is controlled entirely with the mouse via a set of icons – that’s everything but intuitive, especially when directing a single officer through the streets.
		At the same time, Hill Street Blues earned exceptional critical praise for its experimental and daring style: interweaving of multiple plot lines, noisy and aggressive setting, a multitude of cast members that came and went (yet with focus on characters’ relations and emotions), quick pace and hand-camera authenticity.
		Hill Street Blues was as real-life as TV shows got – and in many respects paved the way for hits such as Emergency Room.

	Amazon.co.uk: Hill Street Blues - Series 1: DVD: Daniel J. Travanti,Michael Conrad,Veronica Hamel,Ed Marinaro (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Emmy-winning pilot episode, "Hill Street Station," immediately established the series as less a police procedural than an up-close and personal "interface with the police experience." To establish gritty, documentary-like realism, the show featured sequences, such as the pre-credit roll call, that were filmed with a hand-held camera.
		There were no big stars on Hill Street Blues (or, for that matter, no little stars, as one of the cast members jokes during a near-hour-long reunion featurette included as a bonus feature on this three double-sided disc set).
		From legendary creator/writer Steven Bochco, the multi award-winning Hill Street Blues is the original pioneering ' TV cop show', that blazed the trail for later ensemble hits such as NYPD Blue and L.A. Law.

	Word About Biehn - Hill Street Blues
		Hill Street Blues was a highly respected police drama that played weekly from 1981 to 1987.

		By the time he made Hill Street Blues, Michael had grown sufficiently as an actor to be able to take hold of a bad guy role and really run with it, and in the persona of Randall Buttman, he creates a character who is bigoted, hate-filled and without compassion or remorse.

		Watching Hill Street Blues is like watching the whole art form of TV undergoing an incubation process, gradually evolving into adulthood.
		Most TV shows on DVD, I fast forward through the main theme, but not Hill Street Blues, here the opening is an integral part of the rhythm of the show and losing it feels like missing out on something substantial.

	Hill Street Blues (DVD Set) - Reviews from Metacritic
		After “Cops,” “Hill Street Blues” may be the funniest police show ever made.
		Hill Street Blues was the first truly realistic, gritty, police drama on the books.
		It had unique regular characters who grew and developed over time, did not limit itself to plot resolution in one episode, recurring characters, all the drama and comedy of life blending into a narrative that was multi-layered and never predictable.

	Hill Street Blues
		For starters, the five-year-old Southwestern bar and grill is located off the beaten path of Manayunk's Main Street, where scads of slick, pricey restaurants lie in wait just eight blocks down the hill.
		Underrated as a walking town, Manayunk/Roxborough is a soul-feeder, a peaceful home to winding, narrow streets, cozy houses, amiably barking dogs, tucked-away graveyards, tiny mom-and-pop-owned general stores, and the occasional, small abandoned public library.
		Next, Adobe Cafe, nestled in a residential side street just off of Green Lane, is adorably incongruous: The building is strikingly pink, as many cute things are strikingly pink, such as Pepto-Bismol or Babe the pig.

		Set in a fictional town based on Chicago, the action centered on a chaotic police precinct torn by crime and racial tension and provided a very realistic view of the private and work lives of everyone from the beat cops to the police captain.

	Hill Street Blues: The Complete First Season \| DVD Review \| Entertainment Weekly
		Ken Tucker is critic-at-large for EW Because it is the popular art most quickly responsive to the way Americans change their ways of talking, dressing, and thinking, television shows also date quickly.
		Nearly all old TV programs seem slow and obvious, especially those series that are tagged as ''revolutionary,'' because their innovations rapidly become copied clichés.
		Co-created by executive producers Steven Bochco and Michael Kozoll, Blues was conceived as controversial (it dealt frankly with sex, violence, and substance abuse) but quickly became beloved by both audience and industry, snagging 26 Emmy awards.
