Thank you so much for having posted another thought-provoking and relevant story in this excellent series. And honestly, it's much more powerful than ever and just as relevant today. There are many layers to the story and the characters and just enough of them to ultimately make me empathize with the conflicted young Sgt. Ted Stack. Beau Bridges did an extraordinary job of making the sergeant human and vulnerable...and making him a character grappling with a dual identity (the hardened and jaded young cop versus a young man identifying with his generation). And I really appreciate Capt. Niles' (Andrew Duggan) wise words to Lt. Dudley over their "rotten coffee", considering his wealth of experience, his personal/professional growth and evolution; and a generation reflecting the changing times (19:01). Your episodes are a treasure and I'm very glad you archived them! And RIP Ms. Gail Fisher, a beautiful and talented actress. #insight #classictv
I used watch Insight when I was a kid in the 1970s. This show had all the legendary actors from that Era. It showcased real-life issues at that time. Childhood memories.
Good thing too. Man, those beverage dispensing vending machines were a terror. Only machines that were worse than those, were the hockey skate sharpening vending machines of the 1980's YIKES!!!
I am so so happy that these are available on RUclips now. I tried to find these on VHS for 25 years. I started to question whether or not they really existed. So well produced, written and acted. As poignant now as they were when I watched then at 1 AM Sunday morning all through the 60s and 70s. Again, Thank you!
1970. Both police brutality and violence against the police are equally prevalent. Racial and political tensions are at a boiling point. Civil disturbances are prevalent amidst a backdrop of burning cities. The Kent State Massacre is about to occur, the inmate uprising at Attica will occur a year later, and Vietnam combat veterans are joining the NYPD to fight crime in a literal urban warzone. Society is polarized and in the midst of revolution. In this episode, Insight examines both sides of this issue, passes judgement on neither, and offers hope if not immediate solutions. Father Keiser and Paulist Productions can be proud of their efforts to be a voice of reason during the most turbulent era in American history.
19:48 HERE, HERE! Great scripting, couldn't have been said any better than that. In my opinion that is why they were the "Greatest Generation" No disrespect to our grandparents and parents that went through the depression and WWII.

What was happening in 1970 is still happening now in 2022. Incredible.

50+ years later, Father Kieser's intro/tag to this episode remain relevant as ever.
