Disco Dave Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 The Shield is an amazing cop show. I'll second Mr Dassler's suggestion that The Wire is the best show ever to grace the small screen.

Drew Busby ! Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 And another vote for NYPD Blue. When they strung out Bobby Simones tragic hospital death over 3 episodes, I was bubbling like bairn by the end. Sad but true Honourable mention for Law and Order. Great format ... 30 minutes of cops and robbers, 30 minutes of legal wizardry by the prosecuting attornys, in particular Sam Waterston. PS todays movie trivia ... Waterston is half-Scottish http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800026008/bio "Father: George Chychele Waterston. directed Waterston in a production of "Antigone"; emigrated to the United States from Leith, Scotland during the Depression" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I thought Spender was class, I think Jimmy Nail nutted a bad guy every episode. I'm still waiting for it to come back. If I recall correctly it ended with his wife getting blown up whilst they were on a "possibly getting back together" date. I want to see him get his revenge, which would probably include twatting them with a brick and then kicking them in the nuts when they were down. His wee sidekick Stick was hilarious too. Apart from that The Professionals and if it counts as a cop show 24, they're not cops so I suppose it doesn't, but then CI5 weren't strictly cops either.

Peebo Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 And another vote for NYPD Blue. When they strung out Bobby Simones tragic hospital death over 3 episodes, I was bubbling like bairn by the end. Sad but true [/i] When Sipowicz had the vision of Bobby's ghost in the locker room in one of the later episodes, there was a tear in my eye too. NYPD Blue is, without doubt, my favourite TV programme of all time - absolute genius. That is the last TV show I have ever actually made a point of watching.

[ATTACH]440[/ATTACH] Good call. Lots of good looking female officers in NYPD Blue. Personal favourite was Kirkendall (Andrea Thompson) Possibly something deep in my psyche about being wrestled to the ground and handcuffed by a powerful and good looking female officer. Or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
