Blind Justice is an American television series about a blind New York City police detective, created by Steven Bochco. It was introduced mid-season in March 2005 to fill the time slot left by Bochco's highly successful NYPD Blue, which had just aired its final episode after a twelve year run.

Despite heavy promotion from ABC, Blind Justice failed to capture that series' audience, and in June was cancelled after only thirteen episodes. Many[who?] criticized and mocked the show for the unrealistic portrayal of a blind police officer carrying a gun. In fact, the show's concept had been initially introduced as a joke by Bochco in his novel Death By Hollywood. During Eldard's guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, fellow guest Adam Carolla showed a fake clip from his new "show", in which Carolla portrayed a blind firefighter.
