Dragnet with Ed O'Neil

[whisky]

First series surprisingly good.

One old white cop partnered with one young white cop, got good ratings among all races.

Studio execs said two white cops wasnt pc enough, so got rid of the young white cop, partnered old white cop with a black cop, a hispanic cop and an asian cop.

Season two cancelled after poor ratings among all races.

Stupid studios.

It was a good show the first season. Ed O'Neill was the PERFECT Joe Friday.

Yeah, ABC tried to "colour it up" and it tanked. Poor Ed O'Neill. Poor, rich, living off Married With Children residuals Ed O'Neill.

If the black guy had been Billy Dee Williams, the asian Daniel Dae Kim and the hispanic Cheech Marin then it would still be on the air today.

And Christina Aguilera as the musical guest in episode 8 of season five and they take a shot at Britney's looks.
