[edit] Mark Frost

Wasn't Mark Frost (of Twin Peaks fame) heavily involved in this show in some way (i.e. the creator)? -—Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeff schiller (talk • contribs)

According to his wikipedia page, Mark Frost co-wrote a couple of Hill Street Blues episodes, and directed one. Steven Bochco was credited as one of the co-creators of Hill Street Blues - can't remember the others.

[edit] The Phillies

Removed the line "Further indication of this included the quote in one of the episodes that "the Phillies are in town". as an indication of where the series took place. The Phillies played in the National league, which had teams in San Fran, LA, San Diego...etc. They could have been playing anywhere in the US. 172.131.226.84 05:34, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Good catch, and a very good point. The Phillies being "in town" is, in and of itself, no indication of where said town happens to be. Good edit. ---Charles 06:08, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Number of episodes?

When I count the number of episodes listed on the imdb site, I come up with 144. So, I'd like to know, specifically, where the figure of 91 episodes comes from, and I would like to see some discussion here on the talk page before the article is changed again. ---Charles 01:40, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Second Season Blues

I've heard "HSB" was the lowest-rated show ever renewed. True? Worth including? Captain Andy Renko 10:40, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Conrad

The article says he died in the fourth season, but the Wikipedia article for Michael Conrad states he died in the third season. Which was it? 68.80.215.67 05:51, 26 April 2007 (UTC)Fred

The third season info comes from Conrad's IMDB bio, but its not correct, he died during the 4th season, episode 10 being his last credit.[1] feydey 09:54, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Looking for help writing an article about the spin-offs and crossovers of this series

I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 16:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comments on the setting contradict

The intro and the Setting heading go to some length to assert that the series cannot be located but later under Setting it is correctly reported that

1. Hunter's 'tank' was dumped in the East River,

2. LaRue left a wedding ring at home in The Lower East Side.

While these don't locate the series in any specific place they seem to locate it near New York. Could these two descriptions apply to any other US location?
