Bochco has less day-to-day involvement in Hooperman, for which he co-wrote the first three scripts and now serves as consultant. The show, a provocative but overly congested half hour of drama and comedy, has yet to hit its creative stride.

...capital takes all manner of demonstrations in its daily stride. But the young people who descended on the White House last week taught the city something new about protests. They marched in silence, communicating with one another in sign language, their faces and bodies contorted with frantic energy as they sought to convey the emotional content of their message. They were students from Washington's Gallaudet University, the nation's only liberal arts college for the deaf.
