Nypd Blue

Here are some more information for Nypd Blue:

It seems that, at least on television, there is an American fascination with crime. And not just any crime at that, it seems that the blood thirsty public just cannot get enough of homicide crime dramas. With choices ranging from Law & Order, CSI, NCIS, SVU, NYPD Blue and various other letter combinations, there is a crime drama for every taste, featuring nearly every major city across the country. The formula is tried and true, as we see a little bit of crime action, interspliced with the wit and wisdom of our favorite quirky law enforcement characters, straining their brains to crack the case. The plots may be intricate or pretty straight forward, but they are consistent in content and style, giving the audience a pleasant sense of knowing what to expect from their television hour.

For a nation with a higher than normal rate of homicide in real life, you may think the masses are scanning thier satellite TV dials for pointers. However, not only are these formulaic thrillers favorites at home, but abroad as well. Of all the television programming options to draw from American television, it seems the people have spoken, and what they are saying is "more crime dramas!" Maybe people like all the blood and guts spraying across their screens in high definition. Or, just maybe these programs do play to the savage side in all of us, or at least morbid fascination.

On the flip side, perhaps it is the humanistic side in all of us that enjoys these programs, looking for quick and concise justice against the bad guy. In crime dramas the detectives (almost) always get their man, making things like reasonable doubt admissable in the much desired apprehension of the bad guy. Classic cops and robbers (or murderers) scenarios have long been the fascination of many a filmmaker and television producer, and crime dramas play to that interest.

Even when watching sports, say the NFL Sunday Ticket, each one of us has a desire to see the good guy win, no matter which side we are on. Look at dramas like Dexter, where the audience takes the side of both the killer and the police simultaneously. The only real antagonists are those who deserve vindictive wrath, the real bad guys who kill for the wrong reasons. But somehow the audience keeps it straight. Just when it seems the moral lines of the crime drama have been strictly drawn, they go and change again.

One thing that is for sure is that satellite TV is unlikely to see a shortage of such programming any time soon. There will likely be even more US cities displayed in these carefully crafted dramas, making it even more fun for more citizens to watch their hometown heroes. Seemingly endless plot lines pour out of crime drama writers, and after decades running, some of these crime programs are institutions that will surely last for decades to come. The murders may get more graphic to appease our HD TVs, but the simple morality of good guy triumphs over bad is a formula that is unlikely to lose popularity in the public eye.

Celebrate Broadway's Most Wanted With Mauritius

Mauritius seems to be the new buzzword on Broadway this season and it's easy to see why. The play is a delightfully dark comedy, an original play appearing for the first time from a young woman, who has already made quite a mark on the stage. Perhaps best of all, this play boasts of a luscious cast, just waiting to sink their teeth into the meat of this play.

Meet Theresa Rebeck

For those of you, who know a little about the theater scene, the name Theresa Rebeck will be a familiar one. She entered the scene in 1992, with her first production Spike Heels and quickly made a name for herself with other pieces like, The Scene, Bad Dates, The Water's Edge and then with her Pulitzer finalist Omnium Gatherum. Rebeck remembers how the actor Kevin Bacon advised her that, if you stick around long enough, people would start to respect you. And that's just what she has done.

Rebeck seems to have won that respect hands-down with Mauritius, which is not only her Broadway debut, it is the only original play by a woman to debut on the stage this season. Rebeck has dabbled extensively in the world of writing- she's penned a few pilot episodes for television and even wrote for NYPD Blue for a while. She has also written a novel and a collection of her plays are due to be published soon.

A Thriller about Stamps?

It might seem odd that, Rebeck's Broadway debut should be about something as mundane as stamps, but in her hands, stamps become the core issue in a play that is filled with plenty of comedy and thrills. The story revolves around two half sisters, who have recently lost their mother. On going through her possessions, they discover a rare collection of precious stamps. The question immediately arises as to who the stamps belong to. But before the sisters can even begin to sort that out, three desperate stamp collectors descend on them, eager to get their hands on the collection. For the sisters, it all comes down to the question about what they value more- the stamps or their relationship.

The debut cast for Mauritus is nothing to sneeze at- Bobby Cannavale, who recently won an Emmy for his work in the sitcom Will & Grace, plays one of the stamp collectors. Tony award winning actor Katie Finneran, who also made a name for herself in the television show Wonderfalls, plays one of the sisters. Alison Pill, Dylan Baker, and F. Murray Abraham round off this truly stellar cast.

Mauritus is an interesting play with regard to the majority of Rebeck's work. Like the characters in many of her other plays, the characters in Mauritius are rather poorly behaved, all driven by this desperation to have the stamp collection. Rebeck stumbled on the idea while surfing the Internet and learning how obsessive philately could be, the irony being that in reality, they are nothing more than little pieces of paper. Getting tickets to this show might involve standing in line, so if you want to beat all that, you can get in touch with an authorized ticket vendor and order your Mauritius tickets online.
