Hill Street Blues is one of the all time great network shows, but LA Law was directly responsible for a lot of disappointed entrants to my profession.
His body of work is absolutely massive.

An absolute master who shaped TV for my generation, I was thinking about him only this week after seeing this tweet (which is amazing in itself) :

His superb Murder One in the 1990s wasn't hugely successful, but in the then still unusual way it told its story, focussing on one single case for a season, it had a great influence on many shows that would come. Murder One, NYPD Blue and Homicide: Life In The Street are pivotal in the new genre of great TV dramas of the 2000s, such as The Wire, The Sopranos, The Shield etc. And, of course, two of those three pivvotal shows were Bochco creations.
Hill Street Blues surely is the godfather of all of them.

I think I just woke an elderly couple in Collier's Wood with the clank from that name-drop.
