HSB was a real pioneer for that format. Haven't watched the show since original airing but remember it was a favorite ( Charlie Haid - Renko - became a very accomplished director as well )
If you haven't seen Homicide - Life on the Streets there are 7 seasons of that on DVD now too. A notch up from HSB IMO - building on the accomplishments of the former. ( and The Wire - same creative team as Homicide - builds on that. )
>>Well, just go to the library, get Arrested Development, The Wire, The Shield, Deadwood, Rome and Buffy on DVD and you should make it through the winter <s>

>I'm working my way through season 2 of Hill Street Blues right now. Watching one episode last night, I was really fascinated at thinking about the more than 25 years since this was made. All kinds of changes in the world, but so much of this show still works.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
