Summary:"NYPD Blue" revved up the deal again as it quickly established itself as a Tuesday night must-see. After all the angst over protests about its language and nudity -- mild compared to cable and films but relatively strong for networks -- it would have been especially rough for ABC if it had failed, says [Steven Bochco]: "Not `Tough luck, kid,' but `What the hell are you doing to us?' " Bochco's seventh series for ABC, another hour drama, is a postponed commitment targeted at the fall of 1995. Since last Jan. 1, he says, he has been free "to take anything else elsewhere" after ABC "has looked at it and decided whether they want it." Producer Steven Bochco holds the Emmy award for best drama series for one of his 10 series, "L.A. Law." Bochco, known for taking chances, won the award at the 41st Emmy Awards.
