READ HIM HIS RIGHTS

After watching the premiere of Steven Bochco’s long awaited “L.A. Law,” I can’t help but be genuinely afraid for the state of network television.

It’s apparent the casting standards and integrity of “Hill Street Blues” have been tossed to the dogs and all of the characters converted into those arch-fiends of incredibility and ridiculousness we see at every turn on television these days.
