The night for this new season begins with "Chicago Med." In the fire at a mattress factory on "Chicago Fire" there is the death of one fire fighter. And, on "Chicago P.D.," Like all network television, NBC is competing for eyeballs. The dog fight is not only from other content providers such as cable and Netflix. It's also from internet surfing habits, video games, and fitness routines like working out. MORE

It was a private security camera that helped law enforcement zero on a possible suspect for the murder of Chicago judge Raymond Myles. That private camera captured the movement of what could have been the getaway car. As a result, Joshua Smith was arrested.

The motive for the murder is believed to be a targeted robbery. MORE
Today, reports The Hill , the Chicago Sun Times published its front page as totally blank. Yes, the marketing initiative is provocative.

So, those in America who expected Chicago to be the location of the Olympic games need at least one narrative of how the fates were made to conspire against the city of Chicago and perhaps the U.S. A competitor or competitors might have designed a scheme to trigger violence in the streets of Chicago.

Why is Chicago's being eliminated from the Olympics so quickly a "shock?" " Recently, violent crime in the streets of Chicago has been hammered in the global news.

Producer Dick Wolf, who invented "Chicago Med," would be smart to exploit the surge in popularity about Everything Healthcare. He can put together a three-hour special set in the "Chicago Med" box about the inner workings of a healthcare center and the inner lives of those who labor there, selflessly. The front lines of heroism during these Coronavirus Times are the selfless and exhausted medical doctors, nurses, physician assistants, and EMTs. MORE
The platform for that franchise is the city of Chicago. There it is: Chicago in all its political rawness, corruption, racial tensions, points of transition, crime - and big heart.

Last night on network television, the plot on "Chicago P.D." Questioning of artificial intelligence extends from formal research to pop culture. Recently, Science published the study by Ziad Obermeyer and his team at the University of California - Berkeley. It found a healthcare algorithm had been coded to be biased against African-Americans. In the U.S., healthcare facilities and insurers used that algorithm or those like it to manage care for about 200 million. MORE
As fans of "Chicago PD" well know, the members of the elite squad are caught between two worlds. There is the old-line one in which the law only serves as guidelines. Yes, traditional trickery during interrogation and brutality are okay. The other is one that attempts to play by the book. That mindset is trying to get the upper hand. Well, in Wednesday's night episode many viewers probably were cheering for the law as guidelines approach. The plot line involved re-homing. MORE

One thing all "Chicago PD" viewers will agree on is this: How raw the content is. Produced by Dick Wolf, the series is about how the members of that Elite Intelligence Unit on the Chicago Police Department are caught in transition. Surely, Chicago is better off without those lowlifes. The tone, plot action, and scenes mirror what made "Reservoir Dogs" so memorable. MORE
The three-hour special of all his Wednesday evening Chicago shows seemed off in terms of believable plot and excellent acting. "Law & Order SVU" is Dick Wolf's longest running series. But, that might not be for long. The new season started out, according to TVSeriesFinale , down 24.61% from the previous season. And it's been on a downward trajectory since. For the 10/10/19 episode viewership was at 3.41 million, a drop from the season's beginning at 3.83 million. MORE

Meanwhile, since television producer Dick Wolf rips episode plots from the headlines, expect to see some of the Husel type story on a program like "Chicago P.D." If medical personnel at Mount Carmel Health System knew there could be an undercover agent in their midst there might not be the current allegation about William Husel M.D. The possibility of a spy in some form - doctor, nurse, aide, administrator - could deter crime against patients.

In season 7, Dick Wolf's "Chicago PD" added 10% more viewers. One of the attractive features of the programming is parachuting in our favorites from the 2 other Wednesday night Wolf Chicago platforms. They are "Chicago Med" and "Chicago Fire." However, the issue is: Can "Chicago PD" continue to scale or will it peak, and if Wolf's genius continues to operate, and go on to cruise at relatively high ratings? MORE
Last night's "Chicago PD" began with the murders of an upscale family. Well, the elite unit of the Chicago police department has made a pact to keep the suicide a secret. Actually it had fallen on hard times but kept up their lifestyle through dealing drugs. Their killer will also be held responsible for the murder of a cop. The cop's death actually was a suicide. To try to stay in front of his gambling debts he was stealing, which had been discovered. MORE
This time the setting was the Catholic hospital Mercy in Chicago, Illinois. Again, there is a murder, taking the form of domestic violence. The suicide part occurred through death by cop. That scenario of murder/suicide among current or former romantic partners is becoming increasingly common. The original target was a medical doctor, who had been previously engaged to the shooter. In all, four had died. Here are the few details currently available from USA Today. MORE
