Chicago is the locale for ABC's Lady Blue, a hard-edged cop show about a female homicide detective who shoots first and asks questions later, a sort of Dirty Harriet. Red-haired Jamie Rose wields her .357 magnum like a pro, and Danny Aiello is fine as her exasperated boss. The series is scheduled to be replaced in November by Dynasty II: The Colbys, a spin-off of the hit soap. But if it maintains the quality of its exciting...
