The sequel will focus on Andy Sipowicz’s son Theo as he investigates his father’s murder.

 

The late Steven Bochco’s son Jesse (a producer on the original) and widow Dayna will be producers on the sequel.

UGH. You can't do what they did then now.

People didn't want to see Dennis Franz naked butt, today it's nothing.

People still don't want to see Dennis Franz's rear-end.  Trust me.

 

But I can't believe they're killing off Sipowicz.  He was almost iconic.

This is what just shocked me. why would you kill off such a character? he could just be retired in the beginning, stay a season and then get killed off in the season finale.

Dennis Franz has retired from acting, I believe.

‘NYPD Blue’: ABC Pilot To Be Reworked For Midseason Consideration https://t.co/BRqq2emM50 pic.twitter.com/qKJMYeyJF2

Not moving forward.

“The main problem was that the bar was so high,” ABC’s entertainment president, Karey Burke tells TVLine of the “heartbreaking” decision to pass on the pilot. “It was a very good pilot. On any other network, in any other circumstance, that show [likely] gets on the air. For us, we kept the bar really high. We all felt like unless we can really advance the ball from the original let’s let the original rest. They did as good a job as one can do with something that is that revered.”

 

I actually laughed out loud when I read this. ABC's bar is about as high as their ratings. 

 

Anyway, it's good to see another pointless revival fade away. I do feel bad for Alona Tal, who never seems to have luck.
