Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Originally broadcast in 1994, the second season of NYPD Blue was disrupted by the departure of star David Caruso (Detective John Kelly) after just four episodes, under apparently less than amicable circumstances. He was ably replaced as Detective Sipowicz's partner by Jimmy Smits as the smoother Detective Bobby Simone, and the series managed not to miss a beat.

More streamlined and downbeat than its predecessor, Hill Street Blues (also created by Steven Bochco), NYPD Blue continued second time around to mix near-the-knuckle detective work to foil New York's scummiest with more character- and relationship-based drama. Although it's regrettable that its ethnic minority characters, such as Lieutenant Fancy, are increasingly marginalized here, the series is more comfortable--and even has fun--with regular characters such as the nervy Detective Medavoy and his on-off paramour Donna Abandando. Andy Sipowicz's simmering, tough-nosed recovering alcoholic is increasingly and amusingly put to the test in a number of situations, including: a murder investigation in a gay bar; being sung to at his own wedding by Nic Turturro's Detective Martinez; and a love scene in the shower in which we experience the dubious pleasure of seeing his bare rear.

New female introductions, such as the strong but sympathetic Detective Lesniak, also helped to shake up the series with a much-needed estrogen boost. There's also fun to be had in spotting a number of guest appearances by up-and-coming actors destined to make it in their own right such as Richard Schiff and Bradley Whitford (The West Wing) and Debra Messing (Will & Grace).

The DVD set contains a number of extras, primarily a one-hour documentary in which the cast and crew discuss the series episode by episode, the self-congratulatory mood broken only by some subtle digs at departing star David Caruso (apparently, he walked straight off the set following his final take into a waiting limo without any farewells). There's also a small piece paying tribute to the music of theme-writer Mike Post and an item covering the relationship between Sipowicz and Assistant DA Sylvia Costas, in whose marriage this series culminates. --David Stubbs

5.0 out of 5 stars Awaiting Season 3... and the next... and ALL the rest!, Aug 19 2005

I really enjoyed watching NYPD BLUE on TV, and probably only missed a handful of episodes throughout the series. I enjoyed Dennis Franz in many ways, how his character changed and grew during the series. I have bought and watched both season 1 and 2 on DVD, and have been forever waiting for the next season to show up, to no avail. I am glad to read now that there is hope of seeing them released. Especially since my wife of six years didn't get into watching NYPD BLUE until late in the last 2 running seasons... and she really got into it watching it with me from the beginning.

I have found that the DVD offered a great value, was sharp, and the commentaries well integrated into the set. In my opinion, it is well worth getting. We'll watch them again for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars PLEASE BRING OUT SEASON 3, Jan 4 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: NYPD Blue: Season 2 (DVD)
This was an awesome season. I love Jimmy Smits. I really wish that Fox would make the third season already. I think fans have waited long enough. If anyone knows who it is we complain to to get the 3rd season out, let me know I'll put in my two cents. heegpeanuts123@aol.com
