NYPD Blue - Money T Goes Down

Dennis still is, and he's enjoying the retirement he richly earned as well.

[@fredbaumann3360]

One problematic development is a rumored coming revival at a date unknown of NYPD Blue 18 years after the last original episode aired in 2004. According to a Feb. 19, 2021, online report by Lulu Currey in something called Showbiz Cheat Sheet, "Dennis Franz’s character is set to be killed off for the reboot to happen." ... "The show will focus on Sipowicz’s son Theo who pursues law enforcement just like his father. His main aim is to become a detective and investigate crimes, including his father’s murder. "According to Country Living, Franz won’t reprise his role as Sipowicz unless the showrunners make room for a comeback in flashbacks. Franz said that he was asked to appear on the show but turned the chance down. "The 76-year-old is now retired and has set his eyes on other things that don’t involve acting. Fran said that he thinks of his time on NYPD Blue fondly as it was a high point in his career. He, however, said that he wasn’t interested in playing Andy Sipowicz anymore." Cop or actor, it's a wise individual who, like Dennis Franz, leaves while he is well-loved. It remains to be seen if the planned revival adds to the success of the storied show, or cannibalizes a beloved series to put liberal nonsense and stale cliches you'd have never heard in the original series to cater to "woke" advertisers and studio execs, as has sadly happened with other beloved sagas.

I for one would like to see Sipowicz make. Guest appearance on Blue bloods with the Regan's as a old friend of Frank Sr or Jr be sure they where bad asses back in the day

[@colinpreston80]

Yes! Maybe as Frank’s old sergeant.

[@toddsmitts]

Dennis Franz apparently retired from acting after NYPD Blue ended. My guess is being the lead on a show like this for 12 years was exhausting, but on the flip side, he no doubt made enough money (both salary and residuals) that he doesn't need to work ever again.

[@echodeltatango8030]

No reason to suggest the shows are even in the same league. Compared to NYPD Blue, Blue Bloods is like a show on the Hallmark channel.

The scary thing is this story is based on real life situations. There are drug, money and prostitution houses like this in every major city in the country and particularly on the border with elaborate security and tunnel systems and cash in the walls and most of us probably walk by one or live down the street from one and have no idea. Or we work with people or are friends with people that are deeply integrated into this hidden in plain site world.

Eh, I don't know. They still looked a bit to camera-ready. I thought they should have looked a bit more strung out, less make-up, etc. But this was network TV and no actress wants to look like a cheap whore on TV. In a movie they can get away with it, but on TV it doesn't play so well.

In 1993 the NYPD banned the use of revolvers by all police officers but on this show some of them (mainly Andy) used them throughout

[@seagravedriver]

Pretty sure you could be grandfathered in and be allowed to use it, if you were first issued it. The end of the revolver was August 2018, with about 20 some officers still carrying them until then.

[@juanmonge7418]

Revolvers don’t jam.

[@SamBrickell]

@@juanmonge7418 REVOLVERS JAM SOMETIMES! Sometimes the cylinders even become misaligned and the bullets get sheared in two pieces when you shoot. I h a t e you f r e a k i n g i d i o t s who learn everything from video games and movies and somehow feel that you should state it as fact.

[@joemckim1183]

​@@juanmonge7418Yes, but they only hold 6 bullets also.

[@edwardalexander2193]

Officers who joined prior to 1986 I believe were grandfathered to carry a Revolver if chosen when NYPD switched to Glock 19’s in 1994. Mainly detectives and senior high ranking officers were allowed to keep revolvers as patrol officers were forced to switch to Glocks due to their daily high risk of being caught with dangerous low ammo capacity during a shootout. Since Andy and other senior officers joined NYPD before 1986 them carrying S&W Model 36s was depicted as accurate during the shows run.

That's a good thing. In a high profile case like this, you don't want to give the defense anything that can get it thrown out. And honestly, in this day and age, you don't want to make cops hitting suspects (even guilty ones) something that's acceptable or even heroic.

But NO ONE around with big guns able to defend the stash or product. Police barge in and everyone wants to escape. Yea right!! Especially with one of the leaders also in the house. In REAL LIFE, there would be a look out outside. Another on the roof. At least three of four guys just standing in that that doorway with guns. Another bunch of guys with guns between the doorway and the secure area of where the stash and money is. Also would have guts with guns who are this leader's private unlicensed security detail. You mean to tell me police just barge in and everyone just tries to skips town with all that money and stash and the police all walk in with little to no care in the world for their safety? No shots fired? Get the hell out of here!!!!!!!!!!
