Early in his career, Bochco wrote episodes of Ironside, Columbo, McMillan & Wife and The White Shadow. He died today after battling leukemia for several years. Here is a classic passage from Hill Street Blues: "When the man understandably objects to being arrested, Earps here hits him with a board!" "We had to, boss. We couldn't get his attention."
