...mescaline, peyote, psilocybin, LSD ("acid"), using barbiturates and sedatives ("goofers," "downers," "red devils," "red birds," "pheenies," "green dragons," "yellow jackets," "tooies"), swallowing or injecting amphetamine stimulants ("crystal," "crank," "meth," "bennies," "dexies," "Christmas trees," "speed"). The prices of their mind excursions flutuate almost daily with the black market where kids must make their purchases.

It is heartwarming only for its familiarity: Dan Dailey is not only a struggling public servant, but also a widowed and overweight father who must bridge the chasm between himself and his 23-year-old daughter J.J. (Julie Sommars). The only praiseworthy thing about the show is that CBS, following an enlightened new policy, allowed it-and their other shows -to be seen and reviewed by the press in advance of air time-a practice that NBC and ABC refuse...
