1:37--Directed by Allen Williams, who played Adam, the business editor. Williams also supplied many off-camera voices during the show's run. In one episode, he voiced three different characters.
Another good episode of Lou Grant. They did a great job of showing how disturbing child porn is without showing any skin or raw footage. The production behind the movie "Cuties" could learn a thing or two from these people.
Yes, Billie's wedding was in the very first episode. Maybe they ran the episodes out of the filming order and ran the wedding episode first to start off the season with a bang.
21:39 LOS ANGELES - THE VALLEY AREA first time I had heard that this was/is a rather run fown area of L.A. had been playing VAMPIRE THE MASQUARADE. BLOODLINES, In an interview the developers of the game had said that the described sleazy area was in fact to be not HOLLYWOOD as called in the game but in fact The Valley. Here I must have ighnored it not knowing the mearning
It has been said that people who make filth tend to live in filth. This could definitely be seen by the house that Connie and her mom lived in. From 14:00 to 17:30 a lot more was said than just the dialogue.
I found it pretty unrealistic the sicko mother would talk about 'the filming' so openly and casually with someone she didn't know, who already said she was a reporter.
mella mell, Donovan was or Jim Bannon the actor who played him was 39? I interpret Billie’s character as being right around 30. It’s a bit of an age spread, but hardly inappropriate on any level.
Dear God, How casually the mother talks about Her 9 year old partisapating in porn. "She doesn't know what sex is" and "She thinks it's just play". How lazy can a woman get, destroying Her babies childhood instead of getting a job.
Art Trombley, ignorance and laziness of thought are the root of a lot of evil. People either do or allow a lot to be done because they don’t know or don’t want to know. As Dickens said, between the evils of poverty and ignorance, ignorance is the greater one to be feared, though of course, they are mutually sustaining.
Sorry, but the storyline about the reporter refusing to help the Police rescue the Child is not believable. Surely she was committing an Offence? Aiding & Abetting for one. Perverting the course of Justice? Complicity? Would have been charged. When you Know a Child is at Risk, ALL Other considerations are null & void. Journalistic 'honour' should be waivered. It was absurd for her to regard her belief as more important than the Child"s safety. For Billie & Animal to side with her made no sense either. Even Rossi siding with her was not believable as he knew where to draw the line. As a lesson to any journalists watching, OK, but as a realistic story, no.
The beautiful and truly talented Lynne Moody.
When it comes to child abuse reporters should be required to report.
Lynne Moody is great in this episode. This is a very powerful episode!

Allen Williams is underrated. There's very little about him online, considering his talents.
Remember this was the eighties, tele.was prehistoric back then in regard to technology and social mores regarding reporters keeping sources secret

Wow, the color in the episodes really fluctuates. Somtimes Rozzi is drinking orange soda and sometimes it's brown water.
I know this gets old but....boom mike at 18:36!
Billie told the kid she couldn't go out with him because she's seeing someone. Isn't she married to the baseball player? Did I miss something?
Yes, Billie's wedding was in the very first episode. Maybe they ran the episodes out of the filming order and ran the wedding episode first to start off the season with a bang.
or maybe she said seeing someone so they wouldn't know she was married. For the privacy of her husband!
That's NOT nice, Heywood!
I guess I will find out if it is a sequence order mistake, or if the husband went the same way as Tiger in the Brady Bunch.
Hard to believe that dorky kid grew up to be The Last Starfighter 😅
The dorky kid who keeps hitting on Billie (and could not read a map in the episode "Survival") later grows up to be The Last Starfighter 😅
That's Lance Guest. Was also in Halloween 2 & Jaws 4.
Yeah, thought that was the name.
TLSF... Great Movie! Featuring
"The Death Blossom!" Weapon😊👀👍✌️
Lynne Moody is back. 🙂

Love Rossi's car
Well done.

I assumed she’d be strung out on H.
When Billie and Donovan were dating, Donavan was 39. Hmmm.
mella mell, Donovan was or Jim Bannon the actor who played him was 39? I interpret Billie’s character as being right around 30. It’s a bit of an age spread, but hardly inappropriate on any level.
Journalists face this all the time. Doctors and clergy too.
Robin Neher Doctors and journalists have it easy, only have to face their city editor. Clergy have to face THE boss.
Actually, I’m not aware of a U.S. state that does not require doctors or ministers to report child sexual abuse, suspected or confirmed.

That was sick AF. That poor kid. Everyone failed that girl.
PIZZAGATE
Rossi has a cold :)

@cathykinn4516 You are right, but things have not always been this way. We had to go through some rough waters to get where we are now.
Sharon needs to think of someone besides herself!!!!
