With Steven Bochco's passing, I thought I'd start watching the TV show that initially gave him his reputation for making excellent dramas. This second ep brought a lot of "firsts" like: The first time a reference to something in a previous one was addressed, in this case, Hill and Renko's confrontation with each other about their being shot and their not communicating during their recovery weeks before their return. First time Chief Daniels, Furillo's superior, is mentioned. First time we see Joyce Davenport call Frank "Pizza Man". First appearance of Grace Gardner-who had known Frank through her late husband-as well as her first meeting with Sgt. Phil Esterhaus. And this marked the first appearance of one David Caruso-yes, the future star of Bochco's "NYPD Blue"-as the leader of the Shamrock gang. This ep mainly concerns planning a visit by the President of the United States and the attempts to bring order to the precinct during his two-hour meeting. Creators Bochco and Michael Kozoll fill the hour with both fine drama and good humor. So that's a high recommendation of "Presidential Fever".
