...where the trend has been to keep the killing and maiming offscreen. In one episode of Swift Justice, we see more than a half-dozen people get shot to death, blown up and, in one scene, deliberately hit by golf balls. Sad but true. Justice was created by Dick Wolf, the producer responsible for the far more sophisticated Law & Order. "There are guys out there, 18-to-34-year-olds, who want car chases, gunfire and action," says Wolf. "They are an audience who weren't being served." So now they'll have more to enjoy than just reruns...
...groups as Virginians Deserve Better, Bucks County People Serving a Larger Mission, and Stand Up for Kansas, all of which Grey is welding together. "If it weren't for Tom Grey, the people fighting this in South Dakota and Pennsylvania wouldn't know each other," says Republican Representative Frank Wolf of Virginia, chief sponsor of the study commission bill.

Once that happens, you are going to have a television landscape that's far, far different from what...
...networks and advertisers learn to live with a V rating, producers might find themselves liberated--able to produce even more adult fare, secure in the knowledge that children will be shielded from it. Which could, of course, lead either to more sophisticated adult fare or sleazier entertainment. Says Wolf: "If all these shows have warnings on them, you could have a situation where producers are saying to standards people at the networks, 'I've got a warning. I can say whatever I want. I can kill as many people as I want...
