...Ortiz case seems to be all too typical in Philadelphia. Police have also been accused of severely beating a black gas-station owner, a white college student and a British musician. In July, a cop with a previous record of assault shot and killed José Reyes, 28, a former mental patient, in the doorway of his home. The police say he was threatening the cop, but a witness told TIME Correspondent James Willwerth that Reyes had stumbled and "was goin' in the house on all fours" when the policeman, .standing over him, fired twice. The episode inflamed Reyes...
...series is set in the Hollywood television industry-a milieu that could prove to be as durable as the Minneapolis TV newsroom of MTM. White plays Joyce Whitman, a veteran TV actress who stars in a fictional network cop show called Undercover Woman. Joyce's ex-husband, a self-described "cold fish" played with slimy charm by John Hillerman, is also her director, and for much of the first episode, the two ex-spouses rekindle their marital acrimony by trading insults on the Undercover Woman set. Occasionally-and gratuitously-Joyce's roommate (Georgia Engel, another MTM refugee) pops...
...Carter Country, a rural police station in the Deep South comes up looking like a country-fried version of Barney Miller stuffed with crackers.

And in The Love Boat, Gavin...

(The cops are known as Chippies to California motorists, but NBC quickly saw the problem with that title.) Daniel Boone is back, or rather Young Dan'l Boone. This time he is 25 years old and accompanied by a runaway slave and preteen sidekick on his wilderness walks for CBS. For long-neglected horse opera fans, Rod Taylor will bit The Oregon Trail...
...arched; there is no doubt he will track down the killer. That certainty is the only real shortcoming of this amiable book, in which Delaney's adoring young wife leaves love notes for her husband in the refrigerator. What might have been a tense and chancy struggle between cop and criminal is, instead, merely an interesting log of police procedure as Delaney ambles ineluctably after the wrongdoer...
