NYPD Blue Simone Takes Down Andy Sipowicz Juniors Killers

The writers weren't going to let Simone shoot these guys unprovoked as say a vigilante or as a favor to Sipowicz. That wouldn't be what Simone's character would do. They made it easier for themselves to have the perps draw first.

When this show started it was basically a version of CSI Miami. Sipowicz was clearly a wingman who may or may not even survive the season. He wasn't handsome. He wasn't heroic. He was tough and he was loyal. He was basically the Archie Bunker of the show. By the end of the series he was clearly the main protagonist.

Got to strongly disagree with you . First of all, it was on years before CSI: Miami, so how could it be a version of a later show? Second, as far as Sipowicz being a wingman, when I started watching the show, sometime in the first season, after hearing all these raves about Caruso, I wondered what people were talking about? It was obvious, at least to me, that Andy was the tent pole character, and anyway, Denis Franz was more well known then David Caruso at that point, from his time on Hill Street Blues.

No other cop shows past or present like TJ Hooker, In The Heat of The Night, Rookie Blue, The District, Chicago PD, NCIS, The Rookie, Hunter, Blue Bloods, The Shield, Homicide: Life on The Street or NCIS: Hawai'i came even close to that of NYPD Blue, period!!!
