Once I get it I'll watch them all marathon style - one right after the other, until I'm too overwhelmed by it's brilliance to watch most of the other pap that fills the networks every night. The whole cast, without fail, is brilliant. As much as I love Dutch, faint memories of "Beverly Hills Buntz" come to mind and scare me. Then again, "NYPD BLUE" was essentially a HILL STREET BLUES sequel, and Dennis Franz was great in that. Hopefully, they continue the character of "Dutch" as part of another show - as part of an ensemble - but I don't see him supporting a show himself. Imagine him as part of the cast of CSI:LA, I'd watch that in a minute.
