Steven Bochco Lays Down the Law : GIVE HIM THE JOB

“I f I Ran a Network . . . ,” last Sunday’s commentary by television producer Steven Bochco (“Hill Street Blues,” “L.A. Law”) has prompted a heavy response from readers. A sampling:

Bravo, Mr. Bochco. As a writer struggling to break into the television industry, I view it with a schizoid mixture of love and revulsion.

Your observations and suggestions for rectifying the ills of the medium are radically brilliant. If those in control take heed--and I pray they will--there is hope for this powerful, occasionally wonderful thing we call television.

P.S. I’m the guy who watched--and loved--every second of “Cop Rock.”
