NYPD Blue - The Bigshot

[@84sp84]

Rip Willie Garson, 57 is far too young to pass away.

[@amarekeating7840]

One of the best scenes in the entire series, superb acting by both here

[@chiedu90069]

The pat on the head at the end was so Bobby. After tuning the guy up, he felt sorry for him since he was so pathetic.

[@2034916]

NYPD Blue was always excellent, but never quite the same after Jimmy Smits left.

[@partybusexperiance3289]

There was a hole. Dennis Franz was the rock. LT. Fancy was solid. But all the other people didn't quite mesh the way we were used to. Still a great show but if Franz had left, Goodbye NYPD Blue. Bochco knew it too. That's why he would never let him leave. Plus they loved each other and I love them both.

[@keanucora4606]

Jimmy Smits was great as Bobby Simone on NYPD Blue in his 4 year Career with the show it Definitely didn’t feel the same when he left same with David Caruso and also Nicolas Turturro.

[@paulgraham8155]

Rick Shroeder as Det Danny Sorenson was weird. I think because he was replacing Jimmy Smits and it was a hard pill to swallow and when Mark-Paul Gossalaar came to the show he was replacing Shroeder not Smits and maybe that why I think he was more accepted. But David Caruso as Det John Kelly was by far the best. A lot of NYPD-BLUE fans can make argument that Smits was the best and they have real valid points. But Caruso was electric in the show.

[@2034916]

@@paulgraham8155 I disagree. Smits was irreplaceable.. Caruso, as excellent as he was, did not have Smits’ warmth and appeal. Smits and Kim Delaney had such chemistry and appeal. Caruso was one-dimensional. When Jimmy left the series, it was never the same, albeit good. The original cast was just electric, with the wonderful Sharon Lawrence, Gail O’Grady, etc.

[@paulgraham8155]

@@2034916 I 100 percent agree with everything you said and you forgot Simone and Sipowiz chemistry. But I am still going with David Caruso's John Kelly. He blew up the screen in that first season. Watching Kelly the interview room with a suspect was dynamite. Also said note I often wonder what it would look like if John Kelly and Bobby Simone were partners and I don't think it would ever work.

[@si-mon]

Willie Garson, star of my very favorite X-Files episode. Great to see him again.

[@asc_missions3080]

I know a guy like Henry. Once you realize what he really is, you stop looking at what he can't do and start appreciating what he can. And you stop trying to explain him to people who won't look.

[@billh7214]

This was a tragic/bizarre set of episodes, a harmless douche 《Henry 》gets a beautiful, friendly young woman killed . Bobby and Henry found some sort of common ground. I love the scene where diane and Henry connected over the birds

[@omargabr5186]

henry took care of bobbys pigeons after he died, i remember him telling diane from a later episode, and that bobby had left him very specific instructions. it was a short but touching scene, cant remember the episode

[@SamuelPearlman]

Bobby knew *exactly* where Henry needed to go, and pointed him there. Repeatedly.

[@geraldkohl3417]

Not to mention it was scripted

[@Joedirt3349]

[@sbgoldma]

Simone is brilliant 👍👍

[@ShmuckOnWheels]

I loved how Bobby and Henry became somewhat close after this encounter, and how Henry thanks him after Bobby gives him advice on how to be a man after solving Edith's murder. (It was her nephew not Henry).

[@tomsampson8084]

I loved this show back then. It could never be made today.

[@marcschneider4845]

Well, a lot of what the cops did in the show were and are illegal.

[@xyPERSON]

@@marcschneider4845 Well... it was a television show first of all Marc so its purpose was to entertain viewers. Also, if you paid close enough attention to the show it was evident that the good cops(Sipowicz, Kelly, Fancy, Simone, Medavoy, Martinez, Russell, Baldwin) only used drastic methods and and went outside the book when it was necessary to do so. But, they always knew where the line was and not to cross it.

[@johnobrien1528]

[@YD-uq5fi]

What we never got to see was Simone vs. Sinclair. How did that never happen? That would have been epic.

[@mikekling5880]

I remember watching this ep as a kid and being legit scared of Simone in this scene.

[@guntrader5652]

He played a good part during his run here with NYPD Blue. He does good with an old lady who’s murdered by a stiff relative.

[@billt8504]

And somehow, if you can believe this, Bobby actually ends up liking this guy, many episodes, even seasons, later. I watched this whole series and I don't remember how the writers did it, but it was believable. (The little twerp sort of grow on you.)

[@luqas99]

@Isabel Beckerman It's because the bald guy is a total idiot, but not really a bad guy. It turns out he caused the woman's death by accident, but didn't know it would happen, so the detective relents when he finds out and pats him comradely.

[@ShmuckOnWheels]

The scene at the end of "A Remington Original" when Bobby and Henry visit Edith is hilarious.

[@DrownedInExile]

Good. Maybe more people in general are realizing that cops are not the good guys.

[@timothydavidcurp]

@@DrownedInExile if that is the case we will soon have to deal with a world of empowered criminals - and then we will know why we celebrated the people whom Orwell called "rough men ready to do violence so we could sleep in our beds at night."

[@DrownedInExile]

@@timothydavidcurp Are you really that naive? You think cops care if you're innocent or not, so long as they can pin an easy arrest on you? You think if a cop violates your rights, the other "good cops" aren't all going to look the other way? If you think cops can be trusted, I pity your lawyer.

[@DrownedInExile]

@@bendover6359 Of course there need to be cops on the streets. But that doesn't mean they're our friends, or that we can trust them.

[@leviiniguez8767]

R.I.P Simone, when he died the show wasn`t as good.

[@PLDrums1]

Amen.

[@leviiniguez8767]

Wagner PD just in the series, he died of a heart issue. The replacement for him sucked.

[@jameretief8327]

Why did he leave the show?

[@xdmaster7888]

@@jameretief8327David Milch's working style was insane and immensely draining for everyone, and Smits decided it was time to find more "normal" employment. Apparently Milch stopped writing scripts entirely and spent hours dictating every scene one line at a time. There was no bad blood, and everyone agreed on Smits doing that exit arc to start Season 6.

[@mcjon77]

I loved this show when I would watch it as a kid, when it was on primetime. As an adult, I can see how shows like this gave generations of future police officers the idea that it was OK to brutalize suspects because they were bad guys.
