In addition to the groundbreaking series, NYPD Blue, his credits include Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law, Doogie Howser, M.D., City of Angels and his latest, Blind Justice. A New York native, Bochco studied to be a playwright. After graduating from college, he started with Universal Studios, where he worked his way up from writer to story editor and laid the foundation for the multi-series production deals that would follow.
