Excellente episode: humoros and tough, sad.

Too bad the episodes released on DVD for Season 2 to 5 were edited syndicated episodes like this one, with about four minutes missing. The only complete uncut season released was Season 1. Dramas from that era were always around 50 minutes without commercials.

Didn't realize these were slightly edited...thanks for the info!

I remember this episode when it first aired. Imagine only getting 4 channels on a 19” B/W tv. And that was the only TV in the house! I would get up after my parents went to bed cause I was a hyperactive preteen! I saw the great classics like Columbo, McCloud, McMillan & Wife and of course Police Story. Adult themed shows like this one were only on after 10pm back in the 70’s. Just like stations would sign off with the national anthem every night and not resume programming till 6am!

I remember those days too! My dad controlled the TV in our house so we only watched the shows that he liked!

HA - yes - and here in AUSTRALIA there was one all night TV station on FRIDAY nights back then. HA - those were the days of "signing off" and a blank screen, or test pattern - HA. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA

Good acting, but a VERY sad episode!! Difficult to follow in places. Maybe that was an "unclean" edit!! 😢😢

This episode is a reminder of what police have been facing for over 50 years of America’s love affair with addictive drugs. Of course drug and alcohol addiction has been around for probably as many years as America has been a country! But drug use really exploded when pushers began deceiving college and high schoolers about how “wonderful” drugs will make you feel! This began in the 60’s and widely promoted by the music industry as a new way to be creative.
