Why does NYC have better cop shows than L.A.?
Newsweek's Joshua Alston wonders why the Big Apple has been so dominant with its fictional police officers: "Between 'NYPD Blue,' the hydra-headed 'Law & Order' franchise, and the Manhattan-set 'CSI' spin-off, New York procedurals have stuck in a way that recent Angeleno shows ('Boomtown,' 'Robbery Homicide Division,' etc.) have not. Sure, there are exceptions. 'The Shield' just finished a stellar seven-season run, and 'The Closer' is still going strong. But given that Los Angeles practically invented the cop show and monopolized the genre in its early years (see: 'Dragnet,' 'Police Story,' '77 Sunset Strip'), it's curious that the city has largely relinquished its dominance."
