...hours a week. Sample jobs that would be set up: janitorial work, road construction and office clerking. Pay would be at the prevailing minimum wage level, which is now $2.30 an hour. For every dollar made by an adult, the amount of welfare received by the household would be reduced by 500. For example, if the father in the four-member household was able to earn $2,000 a year, his family's federal payment would be reduced from $4,400 to $3,400. But his total income, of course, would...
Just like the era it recaptured, the series had to end. Signs of entropy cropped up in the last 16 episodes, suggesting that the show would not hold much longer than the center of the household. After reruns of the final season, rights to all the episodes will revert to London Weekend Television, which has already sold the show for broadcast in nearly 50 other countries.

...seems sophisticated compared with Demon Seed. The trouble here starts with a computer scientist (Fritz Weaver) who is just too good at his job. Down at work he has created a superbrain named Proteus. At home, he has wired up a system that takes care of most of the household chores. This leaves Julie Christie, as his wife, bored and offended to the point of asking for a divorce, especially now that their child has died of leukemia. Weaver departs, but Proteus, unknown to him, has developed a capacity to think without the aid of programmers. Inevitably, some of these...
