The Fan's Hill Street Blues Website
Please take a moment to read this page in full
Back then. Like many people born before the seventies (in my case well before), I would always set aside time to watch the incredible Hill Street Blues.
The words "Armed Robbery in progress - See Surplus Store - Corner of People's Drive and 124th Street" meant we were in for fifty minutes of intense entertainment.
It first aired in 1981 and was unlike anything television audiences had ever experienced before. Although early reviews were poor and schedules inconsistent, viewers themselves spread the word that this was something very special indeed.
Hill Street Blues changed television forever.
If you have forgotten just what made the series so special, take a moment to watch this short clip and remind yourself.

So Why The Website?
In 2005 I was holidaying in the USA from the UK, where I live, and had the chance to visit Chicago. I knew the famous Hill Street Precinct House still existed, having previously supported an internet petition to save it from demolition.
To my amazement, there was almost no worthwhile information online about the building — and even more surprisingly, there were virtually no dedicated Hill Street Blues fan websites.
What little existed appeared abandoned. The domain names had barely even been registered. So I decided this was one website that simply had to be created.
In October 2005 the Hill Street Blues Website was launched.
If you have photographs, memories, information, or recollections connected with the series, please consider sharing them. This website exists to help preserve one of television's most important and influential dramas.
