Latest Hill Street -- Good stuff: 1) Belker & Howard's opening "gambit". 2) Gang theme... the scene as the ex-gang liason is told to "beat it", and the riot afterward (night scenes in HSB are always good). 3) Jesus is always good... one look at those eyes, and you believe he could mastermind just about anything. Latest Hill Street -- Bad stuff: Is it possible that, as a tie-in with "V: The final Battle", that Joyce has been replaced by one of the aliens. If I have to listen to one more psuedo-Est-relationship-I-Gotta-Be-Meeee speech on this show I will be mortified. They really seem to be running out of original stuff... and Joyce is such an unsympathetic character, and is played by such a poor actress, that she really is getting pretty much of a dead weight. Final word on V: last year's shows will not be repeated. Say, trivia fans, did anyone notice how the ads for a new NBC show, "You are The Jury", match a voice-over parody in the movie "Tunnelvision"? I think the same announcer did both. The TunnelVision one went: A delicatesson (sp?) owner serves his own tongue to save money. You decide his fate on "You, The Jury", tonight, CST.
