[net.followup] Hollywood Catches Up!

gds@mit-eddie.UUCP (Greg Skinner) (06/05/84)

First off, it sounds like it has some possibilities.  Computer science
deserves a soap opera -- we should get equal time with oil companies,
fine wines, etc.  However, I'm skeptical about the robots and the other
exaggerated things, because if it's too silly no one will look at it
(example, Whiz Kids).

Secondly, for their own sakes, I hope they don't air it on Friday night.
Dallas and Falcon Crest are too looked-at for their audiences to give
them up for a new show.  Sunday night might be good.  (Note though,
Battlestar Galactica, ABC's pet pilot of 1978, aired on Sunday nights at
8:00.)
