Hill Street Blues: Mayo, Hold the Pickle (1984)
Season 5, Episode 1
7/10
By the numbers
27 August 2021
I dunno. I've been enjoying this show with my DVD player.

But when I watched this first episode of the 5th season.... I kept coming up with the same thought throughout the show: here were the characters acting by the numbers.....so familiar in their roles that they were now making one of the most common mistakes: becoming caricatures of themselves.

Maybe it was the script.....or the direction.....or both. I dunno. But I wondered if this was the beginning of the end. After all, too many shoes have become run down after 4 seasons.
