NYPD Blue is ending a 12 season run tonight. I started watching it when it first started 12 years ago. I don't think I have missed more than one or two episodes. I love love love this show.

My favorite character on this show by far is Andy Sipowitz(sp?). I think maybe one of the reasons why I like him so much is that he reminds me of my dad in some ways. Andy can be abrupt, obtuse, and really rub other people the wrong way. But he also has a soft side that comes through, is very loyal, can be depended on when people need him. He'll fight for the people he cares for to the last stitch of life. He's gone through some major heartaches (two dead wives and a dead son) and has overcome a major vice (acohal).

I have read some reviews of the show say that it had became very formulaic and predictable. Maybe they're right. But I looked forward to it every Tuesday night, just to get my one-hour dose of Andy.

Tonight goes one of the shows on my list I made three years ago - a list of shows I'll watch till the end. It was fun while it lasted Andy.

Keeping It Frugal in Texas,
