Hill Street Blues (1981-1987) Then and Now 2024 ★ How They Changed?

[@AttillatheHun-ph5eu]

I'm a Brit, and never missed Hill Street Blues. Quite simply the best US cop show ever.

[@markwinter8315]

Absolutely, nothing has/will ever come close 👍👍👍

[@philipwall6407]

I too am a Brit and i totally agree, I never missed it. By far the best US cop programme.

[@JonnyDredd]

Yes we here in New Zealand loved the show as well but everyone hated the Fay Furillo character, she spoilt it😊

[@Uservb8mhj]

I watched them when I was in college. How much I miss the series and the eighties!!!

[@MrSkafloc40]

Absolutely

[@geoffreythyer1858]

Wonderful, Oh I loved Hill Street Blues 🤗

[@stefaneriksson9258]

Wow, this really brings back a lot of memories. I used to watch this show as a kid.

[@ianwatkins6202]

Without doubt the greatest ever American cop tv series!! Brilliant!!😊

[@stevegriffiths4755]

The morning roll-call with Sgt Esterhaus was always a good watch, never quite the same when Jablonski took over. Brilliant show, funny and entertaining, but always had that serious note running through it.

[@fatlarry1184]

One of my favorite cop shows....gritty yet funny and lots of action. Characters developed with the show.

[@owencrutcher493]

One of the good Cop shows from the 80s.

[@darter216]

Agree

[@Teapot333]

I'm a Brit and absolutely loved this show. The theme tune is my ringtone

One of my favorite crime shows. Well done, intelligent...with its own sense of humor. Enjoy every episode. Thank you for sharing this!

[@edrobin5569]

Still my favourite television show 2024 I'm still watching the replays for the 10th thousand time 😆 🤣 😂 😹

[@frankm215]

One off my favorite series! Never missed an episode!

[@carmenl163]

I'm Dutch and HSB was unlike any other police show. It was fast, realistic and absolutely amazing. The actors were sublime. Even the music and the little meauw at the end were memorable. To this day, it's my favorite cop show.

[@niecybug1]

And Dallas , oh boy , what a show , that shower scene , brilliant

[@jamesanthony5681]

Daniel J Travanti was so frustrated with Hollywood, that he was about to move to NYC and restart his acting career on the stage before he got the Hill Street role. Travanti was terrific as Frank Furillo, and he and Veronica Hamel were dynamite together. Great show.

[@carmenl163]

Travanti was a gay man, but he and Hamel had something special!

[@thorntoncromwelliii3323]

Became a cop in 1985 and had a 34 year career. Main influences were Adam-12, a friend who became a cop 2 years before me, and Hill Street Blues. Each one highlighted the virtues of the profession.

[@josephknaak9034]

I came on the job in ‘87. My goal was to be the Andy Renko of my department.

[@lindsayrogers6690]

I always had the hots over Joyce. What an outstanding show!

[@augustseptember3503]

I'm also a Brit & found this series top quality in all aspects of production, seriously excellent TV! Best all-time series for me was again a US series, the 1970s Roots! Today, here on British TV we have such poor, mundane series, most are all about murders, British television producers are totally obsessed with murder & the scripts are like painting by numbers, so utterly boring!

[@U2QuoZepplin]

I'm also a Brit and the theme tune from Hill Street Blues is pretty much all I remember from its original airing on tv here in the UK. A few years ago Channel 4 showed reruns of it in the afternoons and I was able to appreciate what a brilliant show it was.

[@cabaun1]

BEST SHOW EVER

[@buddyvilla7393]

Mimi Kuzyk so heartbreakingly beautiful and lovely!!’ With such a soft sultry. Trinidad Silva died way too young age 38 a year or so after making the film Colors with Sean Penn and Robert Duvall. Ed Marinaro- All American RB at Cornell still looks like he is athletic. Ed doesn’t look his age unlike Robert Clohessy bBruce Weitz what a great character Actor!!! Belker was my favorite character.Mimi Kuzyk soft sultry voice.

[@rufust.firefly4890]

Hill street blues. The only American tv series I’ve ever really enjoyed.

[@rudolftrost3534]

Try Babylon 5. You won't regret it.

[@burtonwilliams5355]

Loved this show! The theme music AWESOME! Just still never said what city this was, I always said Chicago.

[@josephknaak9034]

Had to be Chicago or Milwaukee, only cities where you will see an Old Style sign outside a bar. Well maybe Twin cities but they weren’t that gritty back in the 80’s. Out of state guys I was with at Great Lakes thought it was a chain of bars called Old Style

[@Seafishing-f1t]

Best show ever even down to the music it will never be surpassed.

[@ADHDACDC]

Can't believe some of them died so young! Tragic! Oh I loved that program. Actors WERE Actors. I gave up watching any TV or films years ago as it's all junc now compared to pre-internet shows.

The older picture of Barbara Babcock is not the actress. This is another lady with the same name. I wish these sites would do their homework. That's why you can't take these sites seriously!!

[@luciebrisson5881]

Yes, I noticed that too. The Barbara Babcock shown is from Stanford Law School and is deceased. Not the same facial features at all, don't know how they didn't see that.

[@robertpearson8798]

You missed David Caruso and Linda Hamilton (although not really regulars)

[@philiptamer8995]

I ALWAYS thought BETTY THOMAS was cute !!!!! And belkers wife Robin was REALLY CUTE !!!!!!

Megan Gallagher(Tina Russo) and Lisa Suton(Robin Tataglia) both killer beautiful.

[@robertfrazer8161]

I loved Hill St Blues, i still remember the moment it finally hit me that the gang leaders name "Heyzoos" was actually Jesus! Sad to hear of his early tragic death - I remember taping Hill Street Blues every week, had so many VHS tapes with "Do Not Use - Hill Street Blues!" written on them, still love the Theme Song over the opening titles as that black & white slides round the corner! and hey, hey, HEY! ..... let's be careful out there!

The now photo of Barbara Babcock is incorrect. You have used the photo of another Barbara Babcock who worked at Stanford Law School and is deceased.

Veronica Hamel could have cameo'd in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, as a nightwatch woman of Big Shell.

[@rufust.firefly4890]

Was devoted follower when HSB was on the air. Taped it every week. Liked most of the characters. Could not stand Barbara Bosson's role. Same old thing every ep, whiney ex wife. Very annoying. Usually FFed thru her scenes. Also didn't care for the Davenport-Furillo marriage. That stunk too.🤮 Find the show unwatchable now. Trinidad Silva had some bad luck in real life. 😪 A few years later I watched Homicide:Life on the Street. Much better and still holds up.
