Oh yeah lol the ipsa party 🥳 sipowicz really did like Costas like that they were made for each other in the show because she knew sipowicz is a good judge of character but a damn good cop behind blue on the job lol❤❤❤❤
An even better scene was when he asked her out to dinner for the first time. She asked "Why would I want to go to dinner with you?" With zero fucks given he replied "I don't know, either you do or you don't." Of course she accepted...
The best cop show of all time. Kelly's reaction to Andy's comment is priceless! Little did we know how Andy and the DA would turn out. This is the Godfather of police tv shows.
The show was suppose to about John. Sipowucz was going to be gone. But then John had some disagreements, he was gone. Sipowucz emerged as the ptime character.
Thank you . Made looking it up that much easier , especially cuz I couldn't understand what she said exactly and my Latin is pretty limited . res ipsa loquitur
If he made that comment to her in today's world he would have been fired from his job, lost his pension, ridiculed, drawn and quartered in the press. My how times have changed. I loved that show, one of the best cop shows ever
This clip is getting all over the place. First we had a guy dead from a heroin shot and then he's in the lock up. And we got John Clark junior as his partner. And then we go back to the beginning of series.
That is probably true. Hard pressed to think of any other TV character that progressed so much thru a series. Most stay the same even thru long series ..... Matt Dillon, Perry Mason, .... Even Stabler and Benson.
@@aspenrebel Character progression isn't always necessary it depends on the character and the show. The characters you mentioned including Jim Rockford and Thomas Magnum were so well thought out and fully formed that them changing would've hurt their shows. But shows like this where it's all about the journey character progression can be an asset like with Sipowicz or Tim Bayliss from Homicide.
oh now I can't remember the full Latin Legal term. Ipsa Res Loquitur. is that it? let me check on that. Oh wow! I got it right. Wow!! Dusting off the cobwebs in the old brain!! oh wait!! I switched the words. It's "Res Ipsa Loquitur". "The thing speaks for itself". i.e. it's obvious. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck. There's a pretty good chance that it's a duck!! ....... "Ipsa this ......". Ha ha ha ha!! So if I say that to a woman, will that mean we will end up getting married?
@@kendallrivers1119 Did I say that character progression was necessary? I was just comparing how Sipowicz's character changed so much over 12 seasons whereas Matt Dillion's character stayed the same for 20 seasons. I think he wore the same exact clothes, had the same gun and gun belt. Same hat. Even later on when they revived him in TV Special movies, when he was much older, they dyed his hair brown (over dyed it actually). Also, he was really blonde. Scandanavian.
I honestly think that she liked him from the very beginning and would have found a way to ask him out had he not asked her out but that's just my take.
When Andy stated "Maybe some Urban Youths....." I immediately thought of Joe Pesci from "My Cousin Vinny! Can anyone honestly say that they would years later be seeing Andy and the Pissy District Attorney exchange Loving Vows? I would have bet the house against that happening. Um...er...now I live in a tent! LOL January at your message from Dad to Theo! Hilarious! Cheers From Ohio
@@aspenrebel LOLOL...it is indeed....I just remembered the looks between Joe and Fred after hearing Urban Youths. Never stated it sounded the same...merely that I thought of that moment.
That was the best first introduction two people ever had with each other on T. V. Res Ipsa Loquitor. Too funny. "Ipsa this .....". Then they got married.
This one never gets old. and the love story begins. what a way to start one. I wonder how many times he had to apologize for that one after they got married.
I find it hilarious that Andy and that D.A. would eventually end up together, even after that insult. Still she was good for him and helped mellow out his character.
I love how they’re all walking out of court together while making fun of each other. Idk why, but they remind me of a bunch of school kids on the way to the cafeteria.
That's the reality of Courts, the legal system. Everybody hates everybody else. They just all there to use "it", to use everyone else, to advance their careers, put money in their pocket, etc.
I can't believe they didn't do the greatest of all final season (S12) story arcs and have Sinclair get murdered by one of his own clients, and Sipowicz still goes to any length to apprehend the murderer. That would have been incredible closure and continuity.
Kelly's reactions. Amusement, apology, and trying to help his partner. Would've lived to have seen how the show developed had Caruso been there beginning to end...
Caruso screwed up royally by leaving the show so soon. Took years for his career to get back on track after thinking he was some big shot movie star and ended up doing absolute garbage films until CSI Miami came along. Talk about ego.
It wouldn't have been the same that's for sure. Jimmy Smits and his chemistry with Franz was SOOOO much better for the show. Caruso was and might still be a nutcase.
@@actioncom2748 I don't think you are getting it. One nail, maybe, but 7 nails? Then detective just happens to pounce on him when trunk open, and he just happens to see evidence of a crime. Which detective was tailing him to try to get. So the driving thru construction site theory was pathetic. That's why the ADA said to him "res ipsa loquitor". Cuz it was obvious to everyone, including the judge. So judge dismissed case.
@@aspenrebel In order to use "res ipsa loquitor," the attorney needs to prove two things. 1.) That having Nails hammered into your car wheel doesn't happen much (this was addressed). 2.) That Sipowicz had the nails necessary to do it. That's where I have major problems. Where's the proof that Sipowicz had the nails to do the job?
And then ... (SPOILER ALERT) ... she became the love of his life. Jesus. What a great show. I have watched it beginning to end almost a dozen times and each time it is as good as the first.
It is amazing how easily Dennis Franz took the lead on this show once Caruso came down with his god complex, had a hissy fit, and left. Especially when you find out Sipowicz was never meant to make it past the first season. I can still remember Franz on Hill Street Blues too. He played a real scumbag on that show! Lol.
Andy likes strong women. He was busting everyone's balls for months after Danny went missing, until Connie followed him and broke both his balls while he was trying to hit the urinal.
It means "the thing speaks for itself". It's a legal doctrine which holds that sometimes a thing is so blindingly obvious that no alternative explanation (like construction sites or "urban youths") can be seriously considered by anybody with more than three brain cells.
*I'm tired of waitin' for September 1st! Let's start the show!*
Damn! Where you get those HD Remastered versions of the show?
@@JKL_YT Hulu has the show remastered and reformatted for widescreen HDTVs. I’m in the middle of watching it right now LOL.

I love it 😆😂😂
Lmao
That's a true story.
🤣🤣🤣
Priceless!
Theo's reaction... 😲😲
😂😂😂
Still my favourite cop show of all time. The storylines were brilliant. Timeless.
Dennis Franz is in a class of his own.
I love the fact that they used and average looking guy to play that part.
The ONLY cop show I liked
Homicide was a close 2nd.
@@Riverrockphotos an average looking guy? He's hardly "average". Bleech!!
a class of what?
With this scene they had me for the entire run of the show! Brilliant writing, directing, filming and acting throughout!
She took Andy up on his challenge later in the show. She “ipsa’d” it and Theo was born nine months later! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She slept with Andy hell I thought no one would. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁
@@Riverrockphotos at least one other woman did before Sylvia.
I think it was more Andy "ipsa'd" Sylvia.

One of, if not THE BEST Tv Police series ever shown.
And that, children, is how a legend was born.
The best cop show of all time. Kelly's reaction to Andy's comment is priceless! Little did we know how Andy and the DA would turn out. This is the Godfather of police tv shows.
oh yeah! Kelly was crawling in his skin, just wanting to get out of there. "umm!! I have to go work in Miami now".
Actually, that'd be Hill Street Blues. This is the Godson.
Never fails to entertain! Sipowicz is the best actor in this show.
one of them

I was a little 'hyped up' when I posted that immediately after watching Sips rant, lol. You're right, my friend.

The show was suppose to about John. Sipowucz was going to be gone. But then John had some disagreements, he was gone. Sipowucz emerged as the ptime character.
Just finished all 12 seasons of the show. Loved it.
Same here. It's a damn good show.
@@alucard624 I finished “The shield” in 2 weeks now I’m back watching season 1 of Blue again 😂
Who knew this would lead to one of the show's best love stories? 😂
Yeah--not quite as cute as dipping her pigtails in the inkwell, but no one ever called Andy Sipowicz subtle.
And, that brief performance is how Sharon Lawrence turned a one-day costar spot into a main character.
This episode aired 28 years ago today. Wow.
*Great Catch!*
In 2 years will be the 30th Anniversary in 2023
time keeps on ticking, ticking, into the future.
Loved his character! Andy just did what everyone wishes they had the balls to do!
yeah! Ipsa them too!!
When Caruso wasn't a parody of Caruso.
I freaking love the music in this show.
Dennis Franz would later joke that their relationship started with a lewd gesture and went from there.
It got even more rude.
@@aspenrebel When he wasn't drinking, Andy was more yielding, sometimes afraid of Sylvia than the other way around.
and to think this was the beginning of Andy and Silvia's love story LOL 🤣😂
Andy sure came a long way from the person he was
“The thing speaks for itself”

No. That would not happen today. He would still have his job. Get out of here with that trash.
@@danerook Yes he would given the whole cancel culture atmosphere of today.
Yes, deservedly so.
That would happen to him even if he didn't make that comment😂

Immediately she was turned on…she knew she had to have him! 😝
She just had to find out what he had in his pants.
I laughed so hard when I first saw this. So many laughs.
And from this scene, I was hooked. Great show, wonderful character development beginning to end.
I guess Andy NAILED IT
From this season all the way to season 12, talk about one of the most epic character progressions I've ever seen.

Ah, nothing like love at first sight.
If someone told her she would end up marrying him, that person would probably get slapped hard in the face.

This one never gets old. and the love story begins. what a way to start one. I wonder how many times he had to apologize for that one after they got married.
Ahhh !!!! Dennis Franz !!! Brilliant actor !!!
That is why Dennis Franz starred in the Simpson's Venus de Milo hollywood production.
Wasn't he in the episode? Homer Badman?
Yes, Franz was playing as Homer Simpson in the tv movie Homer S: A Portrait of an Ass Grabber
I find it hilarious that Andy and that D.A. would eventually end up together, even after that insult. Still she was good for him and helped mellow out his character.
I love how they’re all walking out of court together while making fun of each other.

@@alucard624 Ummm!! He really sucked on the big screen.

Love at first grab!
There's a lot of grabb'n going on , starting with Sipowitz.. he's got a grip on himself :-)) ~~!!
It's funny, Dennis Franz and Robert Costanzo played Captain Carmine Lorenzo and Sgt. Vito Lorenzo in Die Hard 2.
oh is that what the guy, up above, was talking about.
I still cant believe this aired on network TV
And all the nudity in the show.
Nobody noticed that Dennis Franz and the actor he arrested were both in Die Hard 2, as the airport police and played cousins or brothers?
One of the best shows with one of the best characters - Andy Sipowicz. Thank God Caruso left NYPD Blue.
Why was it good that Caruso left? Is that your roundabout way of saying you favor Jimmy Smits? If so, why not compliment him accordingly?
@@hetmanjz Well Caruso's character leaving allowed Andy to shine so that Plus Jimmy Smits made the show the success it became once Caruso left.
Let me get this straight...
A lawyer can insinuate that a cop could manipulated a situation and that's enough for a judge to throw the whole case out?

You got this lol 😆
Simply the best show of all time ......... Well top 5 for sure..!!
So many things the Good Detective could say then that he couldn’t now!
You ever go back and watch "All in the Family", and the things Archie Bunker said?
In real court there would be so many objections... so many.
Caruso, tough guy like in the movie Firstblood where he got beat up like 5 times. Twice by his own guys.
Oof. Latter fans of the series may be surprised to see that this is how Andy started out.
I remember the filming of that great show use to drive me insane…
And so begins another love story.
The lawyer was testifying.
And then he married her.
Andy likes strong women. He was busting everyone's balls for months after Danny went missing, until Connie followed him and broke both his balls while he was trying to hit the urinal.
Sipowicz, sometimes I hated him, sometimes I loved him.
From this flows a love story ...
I thought it went flat after Caruso left....
Like to see that in a tv show now!
Happy 30th anniversary 💙💙💙
Fantastic 😂😂😂
Take notes. Andy is turning on the charm.
Look like she liked it LOL
She must have. She did marry him later on. Lol
She had the best body on this show.
Ahhh good old new york
3:12 - a little shoulder for the extra
hehe
It speaks for itself.
This guy's THE best actor....
Those utes might be the same ones who were in my cousin Vinny.sippy got caught that time and the da didn't know what he had done.lol
Well the gesture and words spoken ARE some of the requirements of a “healthy” marriage.
Is that how the show really started? I could not hate that more.
And little did Andy know that later in, she would go hands-on.
That defendant was hairy from total recall...hairy from verk.he was the bozz.
Also " Big Mother of a Crane fell on this Broads Leggs " from City Slickers .
NYPD BLUE One of those shows that we’re not for children I’ve seen so much in the first season I couldn’t believe they show it that on television
The greatest line in one of the greatest shows of all time. And its to his future wife no less.
Wow! I have never seen a giant baby in a suit before
They Hated Each Other! Then, They Married and Have a Kid!!
