Dayton JohnGUEST
All right.
Dayton JohnGUEST
So the one I chose has numerous TV appearances, NYPD Blue, Roseanne, Home Improvement, just to name a few.
Dayton JohnGUEST
He appears in Hot Shots! Part Deux, Saving Private Ryan, Presumed Innocent, and The War of the Roses, but you probably know him best as the dean in Revenge of the Nerds, is David Wahl as the vet professor.
Bill BantHOST
Yes.
Brian IbbottHOST
Very good.
Brian IbbottHOST
If the dude looked more like, um, Sipowicz from NYPD Blue.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Oh my gosh.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Now we're, now we're...
KirkHOST
Hello and welcome to another episode of NYPD Blue Balls.
KirkHOST
This is a podcast based on season 10, episode 12, Arrested Development.
KirkHOST
And, uh, a couple warnings before you start this.
KirkHOST
Kyle and I watched the episode while we were talking about this.
KirkHOST
And, uh, you know, so if you start the episode when we start talking, it, it sort of lines up.
KirkHOST
Um, NYPD Blue is currently unavailable on any streaming service.
KirkHOST
I do believe that some of the later seasons are available on YouTube for free, and I think you can buy them on Amazon Digital, but I wouldn't trust it, 'cause sometimes stuff goes missing from digital spaces.
KirkHOST
I could say you could get the DVDs in America, but they're not that cheap.
Brian IbbittHOST
Very good.
Brian IbbittHOST
If the dude looked more like, um, Sipowicz from NYPD Blue.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Oh, my gosh.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Now we're, now we're-
Fred ToucherHOST
Absolutely.
Fred ToucherHOST
They showed Fanny on NYPD Blue.
HardyHOST
Yeah, but it was Dennis Fromm's.
HardyHOST
So it was almost like a joke.
Joseph J. DarowskiHOST
Mm-hmm
George TsakiridisGUEST
... "NYPD Blue," which is just a really quality show.
George TsakiridisGUEST
Um, you know-
Joseph J. DarowskiHOST
"Homicide: Life on the Street," right.
20 MINS LATER
George TsakiridisGUEST
We see more complexity of character and, you know, life is complex, and all of us are complex human beings who struggle with things.
George TsakiridisGUEST
And to see those struggles portrayed in what one might say is a, you know, a, an accurate or a authentic way, uh, was something that we may not have seen quite so much in previous years of television.
George TsakiridisGUEST
I mean, uh, you know, I mentioned "NYPD Blue." I think that show does do a good job of showing the inner struggles of Detective Sipowicz and, you know, as a cop and what he has to deal with.
George TsakiridisGUEST
But there are limitations what you can do on network television.
Joey EliasHOST
Well, just to be on the same line, think of like a similar show to Hill Street Blues a few years later.

NYPD Blue.
Joey EliasHOST
There you go.
Joey EliasHOST
That was Dennis Franz.
David GarfinkelHOST
But that was just the beginning.
David GarfinkelHOST
In the 1990s, NYPD Blue introduced a deeply flawed character, Detective Andy Sipowitz, who, besides being racist himself, had fits of uncontrolled rage and violence, as well as severe alcohol problems and other stuff.
David GarfinkelHOST
In other words, far from perfect.
David GarfinkelHOST
Moving forward in time, by the end of the decade of the 90s, we have The Sopranos about an organized crime leader.
Randy BarnettGUEST
But being in the police stations was a whole lot more like TV than anything else about the job.
Randy BarnettGUEST
So that's the other part that that's why I say NYPD Blue and The Wire helped get this right, because you could see what cops were like.
Randy BarnettGUEST
Oh, here's another example.
Randy BarnettGUEST
I'm sorry.
Shauna SaariHOST
John C. Anders.
Shauna SaariHOST
And he was in Lois and Clark, The New Adventures of Superman and NYPD Blue.
Shauna SaariHOST
That's all I've got on him.
Shauna SaariHOST
And now I have an ad.
