Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Blind Justice premiered in NYPD Blue's old slot with massive expectations, then hemorrhaged viewers. It's now a case study in 'prestige TV burnout' — networks chasing the Bochco magic long after audiences moved on.
Ron Eldard spent weeks training with a blindness coach and wore opaque contacts for scenes. The show's cancellation came so fast that producers learned from trade reporters, not the network.
