moriarty@fluke.UUCP (The Napoleon of Crime) (10/22/84)
I know that I was somewhat disappointed with HSB last years; plots seemed predictable, performances were lackluster... much of the shine I used to remember was missing. Well, after about three shows, I think I can safely say that things are *all right* on the hill... the writing (and characters) are very vivid. In both of the last two episodes, there have been at least three scenes where I was chuckling, and each has ended with a 'kicker' (the execution, the rookies' party) which really got to me. Looks like Bocho & company's attention is back to the right show... "Chuckles the Clown is dead." Moriarty, aka Jeff Meyer John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc.
