Hill Street Blues: TV Guide News

Steven Bochco's landmark ensemble crime drama was an often electrifying mix of realism and humor within continuing storylines (in an unnamed big city), paving the way for gritty successors like `NYPD Blue' and `Homicide: Life on the Street.' `Hill Street Blues' copped more than two dozen Emmys, eight in its rookie season. With its gripping stories and complex characters, along with Mike Post's stirring theme music, this was television drama of a high order.

General Hospital Mobster Has the Weitz Stuff | Soaps News | 10/4/2007
Jeez, will this guy please show up already! For the last several weeks, the characters on General Hospital have been talking nonstop about Anthony Zacchara, a mobster so scary his mere name makes Port Charles crime boss Sonny Corinthos (played by Maurice Benard) shiver like a Chihuahua. On Oct. 19 we'll finally put a face to the reputation when Zacchara hits the air, and he'll be looking just like Bruce Weitz!The actor, remembered for his terrific, Emmy-winning run as Det. Mick Belker on Hill Street Blues, tells me he said yes to GH "before we even discussed the money — the role is that good. Of course, after this incredibly big buildup, any actor is going to be a letdown, except maybe Marlon Brando!" Zacchara plans to take over Sonny's territory and he's sure to play dirty. "He's a homicidal maniac who goes way beyond Tony Soprano in craziness," Weitz says. "Zacchara is totally out of his mind." — Reporting by Michael Logan read more

It's been a while since we've gotten an episode with a happy ending. Of course, the heartwarming end came after an hour sprinkled with evil, so it was quite worth it. Let me first say that I was surprised when Christian admitted to Kimber that he was just using her for sex. The "using Kimber for sex" part was not what threw me — it was that he was so cruel about it. All this time Christian's been wooing and romancing Michelle, I’ve been thinking that Kimber is who he's truly in love with deep down inside and that he'd someday get back with her. Yes, he was drunk and upset with Michelle and that's what brought him to Kimber's place, but still. Maybe I'm just too naive? I felt bad for Kimber since she seemed so happy after they had sex, but then she pulled a Christian on Matt and used Matt for sex. Oh, Kimber. I don't think Matt's going to be happy when he realizes Kimber used him to get back at Christian. What will the Scientologists say? What would Jesus do? Kidding.Sean... read more
