"What did John have? What I should have known."

[@justanotherdrunk]

*WINNER!*

[@garethleeming539]

NYPD Blue and Hill Street Blues simply the best.

[@iammeasurme]

Lol Andys facial reactions an times like this wen John surprisingly got close cracks me up every time.

[@douglaslowe5]

Dennis was amazaballs

[@mattneal5257]

I was just about to write that same thing - hilarious

[@slyguythreeonetwonine3172]

I mean most dudes are gonna get uncomfortable when surprising backed into a corner. But yea the added, straight, not straight dynamic definitely gets a snicker and a smile. I sorta had to deal with that when I was figuring out I was bi. It can get awkward.

[@bredrew1990]

What I should've known - Title choice The long road to Andy and John's friendship.

[@YD-uq5fi]

Interesting that even very early in John's tenure, he went to Sipowicz with this, rather than Kirkendall or someone else.

[@jamesdrynan]

Let's face it. Andy was the go-to guy in the squad.

[@stevecrumpton9643]

Anybody else notice how badass the music introducing the scene is?

[@slyguythreeonetwonine3172]

Of all my favorite things about NYPD Blue, of which there are too many to number, the music is easily top 5! I don't know what that is that makes that sound, especially prominent in the theme, but Holy Hell does it make my hair stand at attention!

[@SBatts-rd9kg]

Paralyzed with fear?? Lol! Andy @ 3:36

[@joen0411]

I know my biggest fear is a gay guy looking to be comforted in a men’s room after providing critical information in a homicide. And I’m not a cop.

[@GrandizerGo]

If I had half a brain to listen.... This one writes itself...

[@pantherslair]

"Heads Up, Boxed In!" Heads up - A warning, plus a boxing reference Boxed In - reference to all the boxes to go through and also a boxing reference, 'boxed in a corner'

[@terristroh3965]

Very clever

[@lynryall1317]

Hill Street Blues then NYPD Blue both raw, in your face, mind-blowing writing, acting, story lines, heartbreaking, soul searching TV. The Wire came close too.

[@douglaslowe5]

the wire had advantage of being uncensored cable. imagine hill street or nypd had they been on HBO...

[@timothyantoine5321]

@@douglaslowe5 In my home town two television stations were swapping Network affiliations . The first station refused to Broadcast NYPD , the second station began showing it as soon as the affiliations were complete .

“I have to talk to you!”

[@AW-zk5qb]

Can you include clips of the conversation right after this where Andy tells Fancy what John told him, and the clip of the ending of this episode with Donna Abondondo coming back? The clip with the music always gets me a little emotional

[@ERXspot]

The next scene where they put it all together is one of my favs.

[@jeanengstrom1267]

Sip was the character who evoked the same feelings as Dexter, later on. What you might call a, "mixed blessing". You may not LIKE him, but you knew you could TRUST him. (Except around booze). 😈👍

[@sethkaplan]

Heads up

[@RumbleFish69]

Such a compelling and worthwhile TV drama. A show, so good, that it could be measured right alongside a great film. It's was not like the woke garbage we have to endure today. These current shows are about religion, sexuality and social issues. Things that no one but the show runners care about! In this scene, Detective Sipowicz is dealing with a gay man whose sexuality has nothing to do with the scene. And, we don't have John's sexuality jammed down our throats as part of some TV producer's woke agenda. I really hate the current state of television. All my viewing today comes in the form of free TV. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is worth paying for! This was truly the last great TV show of all time!

[@SciTrekMan]

Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's the ability to overcome it. And John proved repeatedly that he had plenty of courage.
