Elvis Mitchell interviews Steven Bochco

TV producer Steven Bochco – the man who used to sign my paychecks – was the guest last week on Elvis Mitchell’s radio show, “The Treatment.”

Bochco’s latest drama series, “Raising the Bar,” is a hit for TNT. But his place in history is due to two police shows – “Hill Street Blues” (my all-time favorite drama) and “NYPD Blue” (which I used to write for).

Click here to hear a 1-minute excerpt in which Bochco places “Hill Street” in the social context of America in the early 1980s.
