HILL STREET BLUES May 11, 1987
May 9, 2012  | By David Bianculli  | 2 comments
 
After supplying reviews for two years on the local version of Fresh Air in Philadelphia, this was my first TV review for the nationally broadcast NPR version – included as part of the opening-day broadcast. On May 11, 2012, NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross celebrates its 25th anniversary. Note, if you will, that I didn’t even include a clip, just the theme music. (What a missed opportunity.) Notice, too, that I sound clipped and stiff and drained of all emotion, like Jack Webb on elephant tranquilizers. But I stand by my review, which pinpoints what Hill Street did right, and wrong – and notes that, by the time it ended, Hill Street already had been eclipsed by other, better quality TV shows.

Your ability to synthesize complex information and distill it into easily digestible nuggets of wisdom is nothing short of extraordinary, and I have no doubt that your readers will greatly benefit from your insights.
