NYPD Blue - I Want This Guy Boss/ How We Gonna Get Him ?

[@joen0411]

This put Israel over the edge. They used him to get the guy and despite Andy trying to explain later, it was too late.

That clip tomorrow

[@bengarcia7805]

NYPD BLUE, The Bobby Simone Era, Was SIMPLY THE FUCKING BEST BEST OF THE BEST, No Show Today Can Ever Touch The Epic Greatness that Milch and Bocho has Produced, and the Acting and Cast, From Mr Franz, Smiths, Macdaniel , Delany, Clapp, Tuturro and Brochtrup Are Simply Master Artists, This Show and Series is IS IT FOR ME, Case Closed. No one can touch, Duplicate or Come Near the Greatness of NYPD BLUE.

[@guntrader5652]

Part of the reason is the show is created in part by the real deal. Eddie Gibson is a real cop among others but mainly Bill Clark was a first grade detective and caught Son Of Sam.

[@feellucky271]

That Steven Milch went on to create and write Deadwood was just awesome and it's such a shame the illness that got him and left him in the twilight it's just really sad but he left his mark on this world for sure.

Very well said. WOW!

[@jamesdrynan]

As far as script, characters and acting are concerned, the Lost Israel episodes were absolutely heart-wrenching. Everyone was acting on all cylinders, with a note perfect performance by the mother. I love the way the squad is acting like one in this scene. The sacrifice of Israel was so sad.

[@echodeltatango8030]

Yes, the lady who plays Brian's mother was amazing.

[@7srchoed]

The mother not being able to admit to herself what happened, and then anguish when she was finally able to face it. It’s incredibly hard to watch. Whenever I rewatch the series, these episodes and Bobby dying are ones I tend to skip; too heartbreaking.

Fancy: Sipowicz is a piece of work. Amen to that, Lt.. Two powerful episodes all the way around especially the acting. The locker room scenes are always great.

[@nancynapolitano3038]

This was such a great show, this episode I did not forget, so powerful

[@agcnorte]

I justa rewatched this on streaming after your first videos. Damn, NYPD Blue was so good!

[@BLAB-it5un]

This was the best episode(s) of the entire series. Easily the most dramatic and compelling with superb writing and brilliant acting from both the regulars and the guests. The gut punch of Israel hanging himself was brutal but made the power of the real monster and his impact on so many lives all the more real and raw. To contemplate that there are real cases like this out there is truly sobering...

[@mrsraybird]

Intense story arc…one of the best of the series!

[@TheStuport]

Both Andy and Bobby have years of experience doing their jobs. And yet, there are times when a different set of Eyes can see "something" a bit clearer. When Bobby asks Lt. Fancy "How are we going to get him?"...and without missing a beat Lt. Fancy confidently says "bring that Israel down"...and the "Acting Class" begins to take shape! These snippets make me want to binge watch THE BLUE! 😉 I was surprised that The Lawyer left during 'The Show" for some soda though. Apparently he didn't have the giblets to see how this turkey was going to be cooked! The mental toll on these people in this Squad is incomprehensible. I'm toast after watching just a few samples! Cheers From Ohio To The BLUE Crew in here!

[@selftrue670]

The lawyer left because the lawyer knew. He had reached his limit in lawyer hypocrisy.

[@TonyLovell]

Poor Israel, and poor Andy and Bobby for knowing what they essentially HAD to put this poor, powerless man through.

[@brianfeeney3936]

if its that hard for you to deal with try something less deep like Supertroopers

[@TheStuport]

@@brianfeeney3936 🤣

[@bredrew1990]

Detective Sipowicz is a piece of work. 🤣

[@skylordsix]

If he really knew anything about Andy, he'd know Israel would already have gotten a tune-up if Andy thought he was the one who did it.

[@specialk9424]

Not thought. Never thought, suspected, or guessed. Andy explained this to Greg, you have to KNOW a guy is right, off solid evidence, and corroborating witness statements, before you lay a hand on him. And you do it to keep the witness from having to relive the whole thing at trial, or to keep the witness safe before a trial starts. You get a confession from a perp, to protect the victim, and the witnesses, not just to clear the case. Although it's GOT to be satisfying to slap the shit out of a wife-beater, and yell "BEEP BEEP!!"

[@Bdf3604]

The 2 episodes that this case covered were great

[@DrKO2453]

This was the kind of guy you wanted to beat his face against the wall.

[@geneziemba9159]

The side eye from Lt Fancy says so much

[@lm3049]

Fancy was doing everything in his power to not knock the guy out himself.....amazing restraint

[@REDtheblazian]

This is probably the most realistic looking interrogation room for New York I've seen in a tv show

[@7srchoed]

This was an incredible series of episodes. The acting of the parents was phenomenal, they beat the regular players, which doesn’t happen often.

[@kurumais]

i love when they are all on the same page

[@tomnick5787]

Great show!

[@kathyheavner3585]

Simone won the Emmy, but Andy made the episode!

[@kellymckay2410]

I love how Fancy said “Yeah-detective Sipowicz is a….piece of work.” The actor really made me believe that he actually had poop in his mouth while he said that to the monster he was standing next to…..

[@lothartheterrible]

Andy and Bobby spoke complete sentences to each other with just a head nod.

[@realazduffman]

Hard cop and soft cop went home for the day. Andy is a different kind of cop!

God I wish Andy would have explained to Israel more about what they were doing, that they didn't really suspect him.

[@asetech1962]

Season and episode?

[@waynelipman8558]

Season 5 episode 8

[@SciTrekMan]

It’s a two-part episode, “Lost Israel”

[@oldcdog91]

Don’t know if you’ve ever clipped the confession with the mentally ill man in “Head Case”, s3e15. The way that actor turned it on and off was chilling. He does use a homophobic slur so YT may not allow it, but it’s a great scene.

[@g-man2228]

LT. Fancy knows….

[@greenmile1023]

The original "green mile "

[@guntrader5652]

I hate this episode I kind of avoid it when it pops up. That being said I’ve always loved this specific scene. If you liked the homeless guy he played a nice part in a Della Reece movie ( her son ) Miracle in the woods. A solid Della Reece treat. On another topic all tree jumpers should be executed being fed to lions or doused with ultra 93 and lit a blaze as capital punishment

[@Dragostrange]

Badges.

[@Americanpatriot-zo2tk]

You know I think there is a somewhat accurate representation of how the cops are here. I realize some of them are trying your best. The fact is people wake up, the cops are not your friends they will not protect you they will violate your rights don’t ever turn your back on them! YOU Are responsible to take care of yourself nobody else is going to do it

[@michaelpalumbo4880]

Exactly.

[@kendallrivers1119]

Get a life asap.

[@Americanpatriot-zo2tk]

I never could stand that ...... boss in this series. I realize it’s a TV show but it’s reflecting life those pleat people they use your skin color and every moment

[@JohnSanJuan-zp1ed]

I don’t care what’s the Problem?

[@michaelpalumbo4880]

Threatening and ruffing up "perps" in front of their supervisor. This is the image they portray as a "good cop," and people buy this shit hook, line, and sinker. The portrayal of cops in this show was disgusting.

[@kendallrivers1119]

Calm down it's a tv show. If you can't handle it then don't watch. Go watch some boring soft crap instead.

[@michaelpalumbo4880]

@@kendallrivers1119 The characters in this show were all criminals, but were glorified unlike any other villain because they were cops. The story line was dumb, unrealistic, and predictable. Sipowitz was a fat, drunk, middle aged alcoholic and couldn't beat his way out of a paper bag.

[@SciTrekMan]

A) One of this shows producers was 25 year-veteran retired NYPD Detective, so it’s as realistic as you’re going to get B) Maybe you should stick with watching clips from Beavis & Buthead.
