BY GEORGE DICKIE One of the heavyweights of late 1900s television was Steven Bochco. Counting critically acclaimed, popular dramas such as "L.A. Law," "NYPD Blue" and "Hill Street Blues" on his resume, the late writer and executive producer was one of the most prolific creators of the era as well as a fixture during awards season, with 10 Emmy wins and another 24 nominations for writing and outstanding series. And that's not including all the individual laurels his cast and crew won. Arguably, his flagship creation was "Hill Street Blues." Starring Daniel J. Travanti, Michael Warren, Bruce Weitz, Ed Marinaro, Betty Thomas and James B. Sikking, the hourlong drama followed the lives of police on Hill Street in an unnamed city. And each episode opened with a signature roll call, which wrapped up in the first four seasons with Sgt. Phil Esterhaus' (Michael Conrad) parting words: "Let's be careful out there." (Robert Prosky's Sgt. Stan Jablonski did the honors after Conrad's death in 1983). The series, which had 26 Emmy wins and another 98 nods during its 1981-87 run on NBC, can be seen late nights on Heroes & Icons and streamed on Hulu. Steven Bochco left his mark on late 20th century television Ed Marinaro and Betty Thomas in "Hill Street Blues" "Movie: The Heart of Nuba" From director Kenneth A. Carlson ("Go Tigers!") comes this 2016 documentary that follows American doctor Tom Catena, who courageously and selflessly tends to the needs of the people of the war-torn Nuba Mountains of Sudan, even as they're being bombed relentlessly by indicted war criminal Omar al-Bashir. Catena's family also appears. "Movie: Bliss" Mike Cahill ("Another Earth") directed this mind-bending sci-fi drama that stars Owen Wilson ("Midnight in Paris") as a recently divorced man who meets a mysterious homeless woman (Salma Hayek, "Like a Boss") and together they become convinced that the broken world around them is actually a computer simulation.
