It's a quiet Saturday night, the kids are asleep, Alane is away, nothing to do but -- watch Cops on TV.
What a terrific show. Sure, other networks are offering "Lethal Weapon" and "Rush Hour," and other slick dramas that are nominally based on the intricacies of law enforcement.
Forget Hollywood. Cops has superior sets, engaging dialogue, and character development that makes modern screenplays read like stick figure storyboards by comparison.
