[net.tv] NBC Thursday Night Season Premieres

fuji@ssc-vax.UUCP (Glen T Fujimori) (09/27/85)

I'm wondering what others' reactions were to the NBC premieres last
night;in my opinion, it looks like Thursday night on NBC will be as strong 
as ever.

_The_Cosby_Show_ : great show; what else can I say?

_Family_Ties_ : Michael J. Fox is a hot proprety now. Nice story (to be
					 continued next week) involving Alex (?) and a relation-
					 ship that was meant to be and a relationship that should 
					 never have been.

_Cheers_ : somewhat disappointing premiere; it seemed like the script was
			  thrown together in a day. Where was the tribute to Nick
			  Colasanto? What really happened in Italy with Sam, Diane and
			  Fraser? There were so many possibilities for good story lines
			  left open by the season-ending episode last year; the writers
			  missed the boat on all of them. Hopefully, future episodes will 
			  return to the excellence of the scripts of a couple of seasons ago.

_Night_Court_ : nice tribute to Selma Diamond.

_Hill_Street_Blues_ : didn't watch, past my bedtime (-: How did the "new"
_Hill_Street_ make out?

Of course, these opinions are strictly my own! (-:

Cheers did a tribute to Nick Colasanto last spring, the week after he
died.  They changed the rerun schedule so that they would be running an
episode that featured Coach more than the planned episode, and they
preceded the show with a his picture and a voice-over mentioning his
death.

Speaking of deceased TV stars, I am very surprised that none of them won
the Emmy Awards for which they were nominated.  Usually, dying gives an
actor an extreme advantage.
