My thoughts on BHB differ greatly from most others' dim recollections. I was fortunate to have taped two episodes on the sole occasions they aired.
Norman Buntz (Dennis Franz, foreshadowing his Andy Sipowicz character in "NYPD Blue") was a tough, somewhat unprincipled, often violent streetwise detective from "Hill Street Blues," the 1980s' seminal cop show. Sid (Peter Jurasik) was a small-time, not particularly successful crook who moonlighted as Buntz's snitch, and the two developed somewhat of a reluctant affection for each other, if not an actual friendship.
