Talk:Hill Street Blues

Washington's shotgun.

Is that a Hitler Jugend dagger?-S&Wshooter 19:06, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I think so.-Oliveira 19:20, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Why would some one want to carry such a thing?-S&Wshooter 01:15, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I know, and do you see the nunchucks? The whole scene almost seems like comic relief. -Gunman69 06:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I totally didn't see the nunchucks. That's hilarious-S&Wshooter 18:42, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

If I didn't know any better, I'd say this was a comedy. I mean, this scene and the scene where Lt. Hunter breaks the Winchester Model 70. Quite funny! -Gunman69 18:59, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

I just realized that a shotgun practically identical to that one (Mossberg 500 with wood furniture and sawed-off stock) was used by the restaraunt robber in Light It Up. We really need to get a picture of a Mossberg in this configuration. Orca1 9904 10:30, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Looks like we got our wish...

Mossberg 500 12 gauge with wooden furniture and sawed-off stock

Boy am I old

Boy from reading your comments I gather you guys were too young to have watched Hill Street Blues when it was running on prime time. Of course it went off the air in 1987 and I bet alot of you folks are in your early to mid-twenties. I feel old.

Yes HSB had alot of humor in it. Some of it was black humor, some was raunchy and some was very witty and sophisticated. The show also liked to go without warning from a humerous situation to a very grim situation. Two patrolmen have their car stolen while on a call. They walk into a building to use a phone (still bickering) and wham-o they walk onto a gun deal and get gunned down. That happened to Hill & Renko in the pilot episode.The characters live, but their recovery took months. Physical and mental. I watched that episode when it aired in the spring of 1981 (HSB was a mid-season replacement show) and it blew me away. I was thirteen, my dad was a cop and working that evening, and I had never seen anything like that before. I knew at that point that I wasn't watching Adam-12.

Nowdays the HSB re-runs are nothing unusual. We've seen all that stuff done a thousand times and with alot more edge, violence, gore etc. But HSB broke the mold. --Jcordell 20:50, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

S&W Model 15

I think the Model 15 Det. Belker carries is actually a Model 10. Notice the front sight. It is round like a Model 10. In addition, Belker has been seen carrying a Model 10 previously, so this is probably the same gun. -Gunman69 21:44, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

MGC

Easy, you are going to separete the MGC replicas from the rest of the M16A1s.-Oliveira 18:21, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia article

i am writing a section in the wikipedia article on Hill Street Blues about the guns used in the series. Anybody know who the on set Armourer was ? It would be a a nice detail to include--Phrage 07:50, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

EAT

What does this acronym mean? Emergency Action Team? These so called EATers are a SWAT-Team! --Exodianecross (talk) 11:50, 8 July 2017 (EDT)
