The attempt by the American Family Association to get NBC to pull the Book of Daniel from the air was reminiscent of what happened in 1993 when the organization protested the premiere of NYPD Blue.

Cornetta, at 9News, recalled how the station, then an ABC affiliate, was picketed by protesters before the cop drama went on-air.

9News aired the premiere, although a half-dozen affiliates around the nation didn't.

Within two weeks all ABC affiliates were on board. Those who banned the first episodes carved out time periods to air the early programs.

NYPD Blues creator Steven Bochco said at the time the censorship attempt played a major role in creating a nationwide audience.

The Emmy-honored series ran for 12 seasons.

2. Three simple words:

"David Caruso's hinder."

Was the first series to show actual nudity on TV.
