Good Television

Many thanks to Ray Loynd for calling our attention to Hallmark Hall of Fame’s peerless production of Anne Tyler’s “Breathing Lessons” (“Garner, Woodward in Sweet ‘Lessons,’ ” Feb. 5). We heartily agree that screenwriter Robert W. Lenski and director John Erman deserve kudos for being able to faithfully adapt this Pulitzer-winning novel to the special demands of commercial TV. How refreshing to view a warm, humorous, human drama devoid of violence, sensationalism and sexploitation!
