I mentioned the Dick Wolfe "One Chicago" series shows earlier in the thread.
And as mentioned by others, Hill Street Blues was not a "Chicago" show. The show writers intentionally left the exact city vague enough such that it could have been in any number of northern US cities. Though the opening sequence used establishing shots filmed in Chicago, and some on-location scenes throughout the series were shot in Chicago (the vast majority of the show was shot in LA), leading many viewers to assume the show was set in Chicago, an assumption only furthered by the addition of Dennis Franz's character, and his thick-ass Chicago accent, in the later seasons of the show.
