Just Jack Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 If you watched TV during the 80's and 90's, you probably watched one of his shows.... http://www.syracuse.com/celebrity-news/index.ssf/2018/04/steven_bochco_creator_of_hill_street_blues_and_nypd_blue_dies_at_74.html

Fadingpain Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Sorry to hear he died. He was considered some type of TV genius in his day. If you watch his work now, you will see it does not hold up in about 5 minutes. His work was grossly overrated, but it came at a time when legitimate TV shows for the most part did not exist, and the new crop of "super TV" on cable also did not exist. A typical Bochco episode shouts out "I'm a TV Show" whereas the new breed of outstanding cable TV shows are miniature movies. I remember watching this TV show live; it's an old Bill Maher show featuring a pretty good little dice between Chevy Chase and Stevin Bochco with each calling the other's work "crap" or words to that effect. I remember siding with Chevy Chase at the time; interesting to see how Bochco held himself out as some type of sophisticated artist. 1
bbb Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 My Mount Rushmore of broadcast TV drama are: St. Elsewhere, Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue and LA Law. 3 out of 4 are Bochco.
