This week, the strike-interrupted baseball season comes to a close with the start of the World Series, there's a review of television's coverage of the Anwar Sadat assassination, and a look at how TV handled the Atlanta child murders. Plus TV movies, Mork & Mindy, expanded versions of The Love Boat and Fantasy Island, sports, and more!

As always your comments, positive as well as negative, are most welcome.
Despite the exclamation point above, this week wasn't really all that exciting. Here are the listings from Thursday, October 22. And yes, in case you were wondering, the Harriet Nelson that appears on Dick Cavett's show at 1:30pm on Channel 2 is the Harriet of Ozzie and Harriet. A very pedestrian day.
