Dope naturally supplies the subject matter. The dirty words, no longer reserved as final zingers, are strung right along through almost every sentence-alternating, of course, with the word man, the sine quanon of the species...
...geraniums set outside the second story bedroom windows, a gold bronzed door knocker the size of three fists of shaped like a gargoyle, and a wooden scroll with Welcome All Ye Who Enter etched in red, tacked upon the molding. Inside a chandelier, tear-shaped bits of glass strung together in the form of a globe, dangles in the hallway; the walls are bumpy, like just dried mud plaster, broken by an oil painting of a girl in a red equestrian's uniform astride an auburn thoroughbred in a forest.

Even the morning shows of larger independent stations and network affiliates rarely rise above an intelligent presentation of the moment's headlines...
Tough cops still come in two styles -young and hip, and old and grizzled.The former category is represented by Tony Musante as Toma (ABC), a narc whose specialty is disguises. The latter style was best exemplified by last week's The Blue Knight (NBC), a four-hour special strung out over four consecutive evenings. Based on the novel by the Los Angeles policeman and bestselling author, Joseph Wambaugh, it gave William Holden a solid TV dramatic debut as a patrolman who has been on the same beat for 20 years and decides to bail...
