Love the signature! Glenn Beck saying that about Obama was just too fk'n ridiculous! He's since apologized, but "where did that come from" in the beginning? I seriously thought he was back on the drugs; it was so weird and bizarre! Conservatives and Republicans were desperate to discredit this man and all they did was embarrass themselves; if it's possible selecting TRUMP as their latest standard-bearer! Why not go all the way psycho and renew covenant with Sarah Palin? ;-/

I enjoyed Simone, Clark and Sorenson the most, just for the on screen chemistry and the way the characters were written and performed. Too bad Sorenson never got to be more fully developed as a character. It would have been interesting to see how he would have been developed by the writers and how his complex past would have been resolved or become more of an issue. I watched years ago when it was primetime and am rewatching via Audience Network, so when it flips back to the beginning I'll try to see if I can now appreciate Kelly/Caruso, but it was difficult when I first started watching. Caruso definitely was tough to watch on CSI:Miami, but I wonder if that spinoff was just poorly done in general and he did what he could with what was written.

Caruso was great on NYPD Blue, it's what made him a star. I agree his character on CSI Miami was horrible and I was unable to watch because of it. I think he deserves more credit that he gets for NYPD Blue and some of his movie were great too. Yes, he has done some bad ones too but who hasn't? I think people are hard on him because he left Blue too early and got a little arrogant back then. I tend to judge actors by there acting and not there real life personality. I watch them for there acting, I don't really care about there personalities

I'm gonna have to go with Simone and Clark. Ricky Schroder, of
The Champ
and
Silver Spoons
, was not mature enough to pull off Sorenson. Even now, he doesn't look old enough to do anything more than ride his little choo-choo train around his house. (Plus, my daughter and I have this theory that if someone plays a character with the same first name as their own it's likely because they are too clueless to answer to another name.) Caruso I just don't like. Meh.
She did it! She did it! The lady with the grape! -

1: Bobby Simone
2: John Clark
3: John Kelly
4: Danny Sorenson
I don't think any of them were bad and I think Sorenson gets a bad wrap cause of the way he left. Obviously we all woulda liked to have seen him developed a bit more.
To me Smits/Simone is easily #1 and my personal preference is Clark/Gosselar as #2. -

I'm going to agree with the OP here, but I think people either love or hate Ricky's portrayal of Danny Sorenson. I just remember at the time everyone was expecting him to fail miserably as the could only imagine him as the kid from Silver Spoons. Of course he came on and gave (in my opinion) a surprisingly strong gritty performance. Probably the best role of Ricky's career. So, I would have to agree with the OP that the first and sixth seasons were the best.
From the Friends episode "The One With the Cop": "I heard that kid from Silver Spoons is really good". -

I agree, Caruso was great on this show. But there was a certain chemistry, not just between the characters of Sipowicz and Simone, but between the actors Smits and Franz. They appeared to actually enjoy being together in scenes. You can tell when watching the show, the smirks they each give each other when they deliver their lines. Just a great energy, and acting. Just check out the scene in season 12, The Vision Thing. To me, Franz is the best actor on tv in the last 20 years. I also enjoyed Rick Schroder and Mark Paul Gosselar. It gave Andy some type of redemption in not being as good of a father to Andy Jr. as he wished he could have been.
