Steven Bochco sat with Jake Kasdan and myself before we started Freaks and Geeks and let us grill him for advice. We used all of it. He was a great man and will forever be an inspiration. https://t.co/IWT2Zfr3Nf

RIP Steven Bochco. Any TV drama you like owes a little to him.

RIP Steven Bochco. Television is what it is today because of him — and it will not be the same without him.

As a kid, “Hill Street Blues” and “L.A. Law” were rituals in my house. All of us who grew up watching great TV and have benefited from the ground he broke owe pioneer Steven Bochco a debt of gratitude. RIP

Steven Bochco: Today, our industry lost a visionary, a creative force, a risk taker, a witty, urbane story teller with an uncanny ability to know what the world wanted. We were long-term colleagues, and longer term friends., and I am deeply saddened.

Just heard Legendary tv producer Steven Bochco passed away. His groundbreaking storytelling was a big influence on me pursuing a career as a professional actor. Was blessed to get to direct one of his shows and tell him in person. RIP Mr. Television

Steven Bochco was Peak TV before it existed. In drama, all roads lead back to him. Writer, producer, innovator, elevator of the form. RIP.

Steven Bochco. My heart is breaking. His legacy will live on forever.

A huge talent. Listen to our talk with him on The Business to hear about his amazing career and run-ins with some crazy actors and Rupert Murdoch (not an actor). https://t.co/NiN4IQXZuT

I got to play Jesus Christ for this man, and he introduced me to the man who changed my life, David Milch. And he created several of the best shows ever on television…. https://t.co/IEPMPiju9x

Something to admire about #StevenBochco: after the success of HILL STREET BLUES and L.A. LAW he kept taking big swings. Some hit (Doogie, NYPD Blue), some didn’t (Cop Rock, Capital Critters), but he rarely stayed in his comfort zone

Damn. He truly innovated AMERICAN television. https://t.co/mtkmH0cljO
