Interesting you bring that up -- that execution haunted me for the next
few days.  I thought it a very distressing thing to be showing on 
television, and my only prayer is that no one under 14 years of age 
was watching at that moment.

I'm not blaming anyone, though.  It is in examples like this that
the producers of Hill Street Blues prove they are not going to 
stoop to subject the realities of life to their craving for ratings.
It is programs like this that make me cherish television for the
educational potential it truly has.
