[QUOTE="Seaviewer, post: 177081, member: 57"] Alan Fudge (Patrick Duffy's boss from [I]Man From Atlantis[/I]) has a line - previewed in the pre-credit sequence - where he snarls at Mary Beth that "in a couple of days your badge isn't going to be worth spit." Obviously, this is a sanitised version of a coarser expletive that they probably wouldn't think twice about using nowadays but Fudge delivers it in such a chilling tone and it struck me that today the line would have been shouted with not nearly the same effect. He and Samuels have it all worked out. Especially interesting is Samuels's belief that Cagney will have her own squad within the year. I don't remember how the series ends but she has quite a different job in the first reunion movie so I'll be interested to see if there's any clue about what happened in between. [/QUOTE]
