"Hill Street Blues"

Week of Sept. 14, 1981
"Hill Street Blues" ends its first season with low viewership and 21 Emmy nominations. "This is an urban M*A*S*H, a ferociously intelligent Dallas — and very much its own show," says TIME. NBC entertainment president Brandon Tartikoff stands by the show, which becomes one of the decade's longest-running television hits.
