As a retired cop who has lost many friends, as a human that has lost many family members...I have to say, in my opinion, this scene is the best scene in any series ever...really powerful.
“Life is long. It’s long in possibilities, it’s long in those you affect, and it’s long in what lives on after your gone.” My favorite line in the entire scene. So deep!
This scene is so emotional for me. I lost a co-worker who was killed in the line of duty in 1997 and couldn't sleep for two weeks until he appeared to me in a dream. He told me he'd always be around if he was needed. I've been comforted by that thought for nearly 24 years.
I'm a psychic and your right. Spirits come to me in my dreams all the time and give me messages. Spirits are all around us, and they are there if we need them. You keep the faith my friend! And thank you for your service officer! God bless you.
Something similar happened to me. Lost my dad in 2021 after a long battle with illness, 66 years old. Hardest I've ever been hit so far, the rug had been pulled from under my feet. I was arranging his funeral and after it was all planned, I slept and I dreamt of meeting him in his old apartment. He sat in front of me and said: "Mike. Don't worry, I'm all good." And he grew healthier infront of me, and eventually got up unassisted(he used to have a walker to the end). I'm not a religious man, but I am a spiritual one. And that dream helped me alot.
I lose it every time I watch Bobby's death scene when Andy leans over to him & says "I'll take care of her" letting Bobby know that he would watch over Diane.
God Knows, I cried like a baby. I'm an ex-army paratrooper and have seen my share of pain...this brought me to my knees. `2 yeas of magnificent stories and characters.
The relationship between Sipowicz and Simone during seasons 2 through 6 are what TV legends are made of. This is why we watch TV and watch great dramas like this. Gosselaar's role in the final seasons is highly underrated, too. God, I miss this show...
The greatest scene from the greatest show ever to grace television. This is simply perfection, the acting ability, the lighting, the dialogue. The bravery of introducing a supernatural element as a one-off into the grittiest of procedural dramas. Simply outstanding
What's great about this scene is that it allows Andy Sipowicz to finally say goodbye to the best partner he ever had. I've seen this scene so many times & I just wish we could have seen bobby & andy together for a few more seasons. The relationship between Russell & Simone, Sipowicz & Simone made the show so good & must see television.
I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to my partner, he took himself out on August 15, 2015. Showed no signs of anything wrong. I tear up every time I see this and when Bobby passes away. Excellent acting on Dennis & Jimmy’s part. What a great show.
I recall an interview with Dennis Franz in which he shared an intimate moment. He had just wrapped the goodbye scene with Bobby in the hospital and was walking back to his trailer. He suddenly found himself weeping uncontrollably. He was responding to the demise of his relationship with Smits, as much as the emotion of the death scene. That story resonated with me.
Still one of the best shows ever written. It gets ignored in a lot of lists of great scenes and shows because it didn't have flash, but every aspect of this show was incredible for most of the twelve seasons it aired.
Those were great days of TV. Monday night Chicago Hope, Tuesday NYPD Blue, Wednesday the original Law and Order, Thursday ER, and Friday night Homicide.
@@cjr.6908 : Dennis is retired and has no desire to get back into acting. They have been developing a pilot for Andy Jr. which would also include Bill Bochrupt and Kim Delaney reprising their roles. They asked Denis to be on it and he said no wanting his character to already be dead - which is part of the pilot script.
Yeah...I kind of agree. Caruso was good, but for me he never quite left room for the other actors the way Franz and Smits did. And there was a chemistry between Franz and Smits that I don't think was really there with Caruso. Funny, huh, when, at the time, everyone thought the show would fail without Caruso.
Great scene, what really moves me in this scene is when Sipowicz says how it's "Not like it was", and Simone responds with the line "We come when we are called", and the way Smits' delivers the line is what gets me, how (in his tone of voice) he doesn't necessarily like how things ended up either, but at the same time he's a peace with it. Nobody want's to leave behind the ones we care about, but death is part of life, and this scene really illustrates the lasting effect we can have on one another after, a great scene to a great cop show.
I caught this episode on TV the other day and I came back here to watch the scene again. This is such a great scene. Very powerful and not heavy handed. I watched the whole series as it played out first run and I think they made several mis-steps along the way, but, all-in-all, it was a great ride. And when Bobby says "No, not like it was", you can feel it.
A storyline where a dead cop comes back as a guardian angel to help out his partner could so easily have been a ridiculous shark- jumping moment. Only the writers in NYPD Blue could pull it off.
Bobby and Andy to me are the heart and soul of the show. When Bobby died, a piece of the heart was broken forever and the soul of the show shattered forever.
Haven't watched this scene since it aired and well, it got me a again. Teared up just as I did then. Only NYPD Blue can make a scene with a beloved character appear as a "ghost" with such great care, elegance and emotion. Love what Bobby said about life not being short. Impeccable writing and acting. God I miss this show! Thank you posting! 🙏
There has never been a better character arc than Andy Sipowitz. The growth of that character was amazing and couldn’t be done by anybody any better than Dennis Franz.
John was Andy's salvation as well. He became a teacher and a great mentor and an awesome Boss. Sipowiczs is the redemption story we all yearn and wish for.
I never got over not having you in the world with me with me. Not like it was.... No. Not like it was. I wish we could go back to then. I miss you partner. GOD bless Andy. -- I miss this show. One of the all time very best. One of the Finest scene ever, in TV or Movie, bar none. Gives me the chills and brings a tear every time I see it.
Literal tears. I'm going through a lot of stuff in my life right now and out of nowhere I found this video and the ghost touched on exactly what is going through my mind right now and helped ease some of the pain. I want to find this show from the beginning and watch it all the way through
THIS MAY BE THE GREATEST SCENE IN TV DRAMA HISTORY! Simone returns just for a few minutes shows a how great his character was,Sipowicz asking him for help was unforeseen.. truly brilliant
The acting, actors, creators, directors, writer's, music were just superb. That's why it lasted 12 seasons. Just doesn't get any better than NYPD Blue.
So emotional and and after 6 season, Simone is the same, precise but blunt with his partner. When Simone speaks about God, life and especially when Andy says, 'i miss you partner' I cant help but cry a little. Makes me appreciate my family all the much more and how much we should try and make amends. This is not a script, this is a true to life scenario as far as im concerned. Beautiful.
NYPD Blue was t.v. worth watching. Each week I couldn't wait for the show to start and as the show played I prayed it would go on forever. I always felt I had a special closeness with cops because my Uncle is a 31-yr vet, 21 in HQ. He'd took me and my cousin downtown Toronto a few times in his personal car and we'd listen to radio calls from the city while he drove us around the streets. Now his time is short because of cancer and I bawl when I watch episodes of NYPD Blue and Hill Street Blues.
When Bobby died it was so well done. I was so sad but it was so beautifully done it's a treasured memory. I just didnt realize that this scene full of joy and quiet revelation is a perfect response to Bobby's death. Together they fill me with hope. My God what a great show..
Teaming Dennis Franz and Jimmy Smits was about the best casting and creative decisions the show ever pulled off. NYPD Blue was on a different level after that.
There’s so much that we can learn from this show and so much we can learn from the character that is Andy Sipowicz. What i took from his situation with Clark was that you can’t go head to head when tensions are high. When you can lay down your sword and take the beating that someone who is grieving is dishing out, you can save that person.
I believe this series was the best there ever was or ever will be on TV!!! Stellar acting, great writing and exemplary production!!! It will never be duplicated. All we have now is crap on TV. And it makes me sad!!
Monday night: Chicago Hope Tuesday night: NYPD Blue Wednesday night: Law And Order Thursday night: ER Friday night: Homicide: Life On The Street Best TV watching during the week!
The writing was off the charts. The acting way off the charts. They broke the mold with this show. Bringing Bobby back like that was just powerful. Kudos to the writers that came up with this.
If this don't bring a tear. If we could all just have a best friend or loved one come back to give us this speech, and tell us everything's alright... Ever so briefly... To tell us to be good, be a teacher, to serve a purpose while we're here. Think of much better this planet would be. To love one another and be supportive, not vindictive, as is the world of today. Bless you Bobby Simone, Andy and all who brought us NYPD Blue. You guys thought outside the box and brought us the best television ever.
This is sheer perfection! Andy asked the same questions I would have asked, and Bobby's answers said everything without giving away anything. BTW...I never got over losing Bobby either.
Today’s shows are full of woke BS. Makes you appreciate the writing and acting if NY PD Blue. They did got the progressive messages in more real manner. Never thought anything of it then.
Yes I agree the best show ever, all these new shows today I would like to think took bits and pieces from this series and built on them. Shows today are very good as well and can thank the writers, producers and most of all the BEST actors in our life time( NYPD Blue). Thank you for the great years of TV. God Bless you!
I agree with everyone that posted here, BLUE has to be without a doubt the best TV show of all time bar none. I only watched a few episodes back in the day but now I have managed to get ahold of the entire 12 seasons and have watched it 2 complete times. David Caruso was great in the beginning but when Bobby Simone came along, the relationship and chemistry between he and Sipowicz was what made that show. Once Bobby died, it was never as good but i still love my NYPD Blue.
Agree, Gosselaar was not recognized the way he should have been. He is such a natural. He was always pitch perfect. They all were, but Gosselaar could be overlooked because he had a quieter kind of charisma.
A lot of NYPD Blue clips have " a great scene " in the description and it's true. The show had many. This one could also be called great. But for anyone who has had to be the one left behind, it's a nice gentle reminder that those we miss are never truly lost to us.
This clip changed my view about “after life” - and it helped me think of my deceased parents (best parents in the world) being in a much better place, versus just being dead, gone, or I-don’t-know-where - now I know with certainty that they are out there, in the next room, watching over me, and that everything’s gonna be all right
this is a very touching scene, i lost many people in my life that i loved, friends, co workers, family members, it never gets easy to loose someone, but its part of life for all of us, as long as you have a place for them in your heart they are never realy gone...
I love this show, it shows police officers are human! They laugh, cry, feel pain and bleed just like humans! 30 years and retired from the job, but you never really retired!
An extraordinary journey. So glad Moving Day was uploaded on here, which is where I saw it. Typical NYPD Blue, deep, hard hitting and moving (in another way!). So proud to have been a fan
I'm a grown woman and I sobbed through the whole scene. I miss Bobby so much too. You can watch this show, any episode you want on Amazon Prime. You can also get all the seasons on dvd. Best show ever!
Andy loved Bobby they were a team like no other, and Dennis Franz could always make a scene epic even from his days on Hill Street Blues he made the scene EPIC
For 18 years now I’ve held that this is the finest scene in the entire history of dramatic narrative television. And of course that’s ridiculous; we should all know better than to speak in terms of absolutes. Have I watched every scene in the history of dramatic TV? So a second of clear thought tells me to holster my tongue. Then I watch this heartbreaking, life affirming art again, its magic floods over me again and I say again that this is the finest scene in all the history of television drama. Everyone whose work went into the creation of these 7 minutes should take pride in contributing to something so profound, so beautiful and so powerful. Thank you very much for uploading this for us.
It’s a reality many choose to ignore or simply wont wanna talk about. Everybody dies in this life, and everybody needs love to stay alive in this journey called life. Awesome episode
I watched this episode again today. It is just as powerful now is in the original broadcast. Hy can't we get show with this kind of quality writing and acting today?
DAVINOENTERPRISES Agreed, tied with the Wire. But the Wire had a much easier medium in cable TV. Creating a quality drama like this for network TV is much more challenging, since there are so many things they couldn’t show or say. That’s what made NYPD Blue so impressive. And it holds up 25 years later.
This scene showed how well Andy and bobby were as partners. I think Andy thought of John as the other son he didn't really have and in a way filled the void that Andy jr left when he died.
Yeah, they were good together but David Curuso was just as brilliant. I remember thinking NYPDB would never be the same without him but Bobby slotted in well. Miss this show so much.
I miss one one of my partners soooo much. Left to early. I see this every time and cry😢 . I think how great it would be to see him again, be able to hug him. Aug 15, 2015 EOW. Rest In Peace Brother 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
As a retired cop who has lost many friends, as a human that has lost many family members...I have to say, in my opinion, this scene is the best scene in any series ever...really powerful.

“Life is long. It’s long in possibilities, it’s long in those you affect, and it’s long in what lives on after your gone.” My favorite line in the entire scene. So deep!

NYPD Blue has been my go to show during this pandemic. Loved this show so much when it was on and thanks to Hulu I have every episode.
from the dialogue to music it it perfect.

The best cop show ever made. Nothing comes close to the storylines and characters in NYPD Blue.
G Lavis you know it! Story line and character development is perfect!!!
Graham Farrer ... What about Cop Rock?
Graham Farrer Law & Order SVU (the seasons with Chris Meloni) comes at a close second
Ross DiamondThief homicide life on the street is also great
KS 451 I actually have never seen that show, heard good things though. Miami Vice is also another great cop show IMHO.
The scene where Bobby takes his last breath and this are the most beautiful moments of this show.
I lose it every time I watch Bobby's death scene when Andy leans over to him & says "I'll take care of her" letting Bobby know that he would watch over Diane.

I like the sound of the pigeon when Bobby appears in the locker room. Nice touch.
Yes!
If you remember pigeons were his thing. He raises them
For sure. That’s why I thought it was a nice touch 😉
I thought that sound was my stomach growling 😅

the reason why jimmy smits left the show was because the producer was dying and they couldn't write the scripts fast enough. and that frustrated him.
"Why doesn't he give me a sign."
"I think that's what _he's doing"._
I love this beautiful scene for 100 different reasons.
The balls the writers had introducing ghost Bobby were huge. Fantastic actors in amazing roles. Superb!

Very deep words
Never before or since have I watched a series where I felt to be so involved with the characters, NYPD Blue is the best!
Those were great days of TV. Monday night Chicago Hope, Tuesday NYPD Blue, Wednesday the original Law and Order, Thursday ER, and Friday night Homicide.
A beautifully acted scene with real emotion. These guys really cared for each other. I'd love to see Jimmy Smits and Dennis Franz act together again.

20 or 30 years from now, I’m still gonna be watching this show, and I bet you will too.
You have to. What they have on today is subpar.

Watched all 12 seasons with my daughter over the winter, really had to be the best show ever on TV in so many ways.
God bless Andy
It's surprising how this show still holds up so well.
One of my favorite all time series. Great characters!
When he’s standing at the door leaving is one of the best scenes in tv history.
“God bless Andy.”
That’s the most powerful thing you can say to anyone. God bless.

A lot of people found it hard to take him seriously because of Zack Morris but he was a solid enough addition to the show.
Agreed. Great comment.
I would rate Bobby as the best with PMG as second. Had doubts about him, but he really nailed it.
I miss not having you in the world with me, NYPD Blue.
A lot of NYPD Blue clips have " a great scene " in the description and it's true. The show had many. This one could also be called great. But for anyone who has had to be the one left behind, it's a nice gentle reminder that those we miss are never truly lost to us.
A beautiful struggle of a scene to watch. This show hands down was and is the best cop show.
The Bobby Simone years were my favorites from this show.
This clip changed my view about “after life” - and it helped me think of my deceased parents (best parents in the world) being in a much better place, versus just being dead, gone, or I-don’t-know-where - now I know with certainty that they are out there, in the next room, watching over me, and that everything’s gonna be all right
God bless, Andy.....
The writing behind this show is second to none. Every episode was like a good movie.
this is a very touching scene, i lost many people in my life that i loved, friends, co workers, family members, it never gets easy to loose someone, but its part of life for all of us, as long as you have a place for them in your heart they are never realy gone...
I love this show, it shows police officers are human! They laugh, cry, feel pain and bleed just like humans! 30 years and retired from the job, but you never really retired!
An extraordinary journey. So glad Moving Day was uploaded on here, which is where I saw it. Typical NYPD Blue, deep, hard hitting and moving (in another way!). So proud to have been a fan
This is one of the most moving scenes in the entire series. Thanks for posting this so that others can see just how good this show really was(is).
I'm a grown woman and I sobbed through the whole scene. I miss Bobby so much too. You can watch this show, any episode you want on Amazon Prime. You can also get all the seasons on dvd. Best show ever!
Kathryn Grant Where can you get all of the seasons for dvd? I've only seen the first 4 seasons for sale. Is there a link?
If you check out Amazon, they should all be there.
Kathryn Grant Thanks so much.
Truly the best written show ever produced IMHO
Andy loved Bobby they were a team like no other, and Dennis Franz could always make a scene epic even from his days on Hill Street Blues he made the scene EPIC
One of the best scenes in television history, cop show or otherwise.
For 18 years now I’ve held that this is the finest scene in the entire history of dramatic narrative television. And of course that’s ridiculous; we should all know better than to speak in terms of absolutes. Have I watched every scene in the history of dramatic TV? So a second of clear thought tells me to holster my tongue. Then I watch this heartbreaking, life affirming art again, its magic floods over me again and I say again that this is the finest scene in all the history of television drama. Everyone whose work went into the creation of these 7 minutes should take pride in contributing to something so profound, so beautiful and so powerful.
Thank you very much for uploading this for us.
It’s a reality many choose to ignore or simply wont wanna talk about. Everybody dies in this life, and everybody needs love to stay alive in this journey called life. Awesome episode
This was moving. Thanks for the upload. :) Two of my fav characters of the 90's.
One of the best scenes from THE best series EVER produced for ANY reason. I am compiling all of the CD's. I miss this show.
Propably one of the best scenes ever written. Damn.
I never saw this until now...what an impact! Great writing! Great acting! ...and, my face is full of tears.
I watched this episode again today. It is just as powerful now is in the original broadcast. Hy can't we get show with this kind of quality writing and acting today?
The 90’s were a great time for shows like this. ER was another one.
The best Police Drama Show, imo!!!
DAVINOENTERPRISES Agreed, tied with the Wire. But the Wire had a much easier medium in cable TV. Creating a quality drama like this for network TV is much more challenging, since there are so many things they couldn’t show or say. That’s what made NYPD Blue so impressive. And it holds up 25 years later.
God I miss quality shows like this ! TV sucks today. Theres NO deapth like this show had . Someone bring quality like this back. Please !!!
Best cop show ever. Writers did a fantastic job of displaying the good and bad, the ups n downs of a detectives life on the job. Love NYC
This scene….. this show…… not enough words but more than enough tears. ❤️NYPD Blue
This was a exhibition of friendship between two brothers, not co-workers who are actors.
What a simply magnificent piece of television, very moving.
This scene showed how well Andy and bobby were as partners. I think Andy thought of John as the other son he didn't really have and in a way filled the void that Andy jr left when he died.
I think Bobby was the best partner for Andy.
This and Bobby's last ( Hearts and soul) episodes were really moved.
Yeah, they were good together but David Curuso was just as brilliant. I remember thinking NYPDB would never be the same without him but Bobby slotted in well. Miss this show so much.
yes cause they were not only partners they were great friends
Not great friends,best friends,practically became blood brothers when Bobby saved Andy's life.
CC927 yes and Danny and John were more coworkers than friends for Andy IMO
CC927 what episode did Bobby save Andy's life..I forgot..
This hits me close to home... still dealing with my dad being gone from last year
he lives in YOU. I am sorry for your loss
I miss one one of my partners soooo much. Left to early. I see this every time and cry😢 . I think how great it would be to see him again, be able to hug him. Aug 15, 2015 EOW. Rest In Peace Brother 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
