'''''NYPD Blue''''' is a [[Cop Show]] with [[Crime-Time Soap|Soap Opera elements]] that ran on ABC from 1993 to 2005. Originally a star vehicle for David Caruso (who left after the first season to pursue a movie career), the show evolved into an [[Loads and Loads of Characters|ensemble]], with Det. Andy Sipowicz (Dennis Franz) as the focus character.
The show courted controversy from the start with its [[Too Sexy for This Time Slot|liberal use of nudity]] (mostly sideboob and butts, with the occasional steamy love scene) and salty language (one of Sipowicz's first lines is calling A.D.A. Sylvia Costas a "pissy little bitch", and it was one of the first shows to use the word "shit" on network television). The [[Moral Guardians|Parents Television Council]] was formed primarily because of this show. It was also noted for resurrecting the careers of those (besides Caruso) who played Andy's partners ([[L.A. Law|Jimmy Smits]], and former child stars [[Silver Spoons|Rick Schroder]] and [[Saved by the Bell|Mark-Paul Gosselaar]]).
The show was created by producer [[Steven Bochco]], and is considered the [[Spiritual Successor]] to his earlier, similarly ground-breaking ensemble cop show <s>[[Cop Rock]]</s>, ''[[Hill Street Blues]]''.
A [[Spin Off]] called ''[[Public Morals]]'' (a sitcom) was attempted, but cancelled after one episode; the less said of it, the better.
