'Homicide' vs. 'NYPD Blue'

<b>Debut</b>: 1993<br>
<br>
<b>Premise</b>: Both shows looked at the gritty, sometimes ugly world of police work. "Homicide" was in Baltimore, "NYPD Blue" was in, obviously, New York City.<br>
<br>
<b>The Verdict</b>: "Homcide" came first by a few months, "Blue" lasted five seasons longer, but both were critically acclaimed and popular with viewers. They were also rather ground-breaking television, paving the way for shows like "The Shield" and "The Wire." We're calling this one a draw.<br>
