Producer, writer and creator of some classic series like LA Law, Hill Street Blues, Doogie Howser MD and NYPD Blue...started his career among others writing screenplays and stories for Columbo.
Inducted in the TV Hall Of Fame in 1996.
Died aged 74 from leukemia in New York.
I really dig Hill Street Blues and LA Law as series that have a personal element to the storylines and weren't afraid to crack on issues deemed controversial in the public eye.
RIP.
RIP Steven Bochco

As far as I'm concerned, Hill Street Blues was the ground-breaking series that ushered in the Golden Age of TV, and Bochco, Kozoll and Milch are important artists.
NYPD Blue (after Caruso left), Murder One and (personal quirk fave I'd forgotten about) Hooperman were pretty nifty, too. Let's all forget Cop Rock.
RIP

I was too young for Hill Street Blues so NYPD Blue was my jam, the Ricky Schroder/Dennis Franz years in particular. The way Schroder was written out was a quiet triumph.

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

The first time that I watched Hill Street Blues ... I was hooked. I never answered the phone if it was on. R.i.P. Steven.
I love most of Mike Post's theme music but Hill Street Blues is my favorite.

Also, the show with the best ex college athletes in it: Mike Warren who played with Kareem at UCLA and Ed Marinaro who won the Heisman Trophy and went on to play for the Minnesota Vikings.
Hunter only had Fred Dryer and Father Murphy only had Merlin Olsen.
