Is it just me, or does Lucas Haas' character dress/look like Barnabas Collins of the old Dark Shadows TV show?

There is little "jounalistic integrity" in the media anymore. I remember movies and TV shows about reporters from my youth, which hammered home basic concepts of reporting...check your sources, confirm what they tell you from at least one additional source, never print rumors or suppositions, label opinions as just that...opinions, not facts. These basic canons of this once proud profession are no longer adhered to, at least in my experience.

I don't expect the press to reflect only my views or values. That would be ridiculous, and a disservice to the whole concept of a free press. I do expect them to be honest in what they report as news, and to be as neutral as humanly possible when reporting on a story. And that, I'm afraid, is not part of the jounalistic landscape any longer.

Outstanding! Nobody could lecture you like Joe Friday and Bill Gannon. Yeah, the delivery was deadpan, maybe even stilted, the cuts between Joe and Bill exchanging knowing nods were hokey, but the show was almost hypnotic to this 18 year old in the early 70's. It was what made want to become a cop, all those decades ago.

Kudos to whoever put this together. It is so on-point. ALLAMERICAN hit the nail on the head. The America I grew up in, too.

Oh, anybody remember the Dragnet skit on Carson's tonight show with Jack Webb? He had a sense of humor about himself. Hilarious!
