so dreadfully earnest. no wonder I was into it (for a little while) because it's so starry-eyed liberal in an old-fashioned civic-minded way. if you're curious: https://archive.org/details/PDTV0241 (and the episode I watched is called "Deadly Arena", season 5 episode 21)

I'm reminded a bit of an old 1950 Elia Kazan movie, Panic in the Streets, in which Richard Widmark plays a tough-minded public servant attempting to investigate and halt an outbreak of pneumonic plague. I don't know if this melodramatic approach to dramatizing public health does much lasting good, honestly...it seems so very dated these days.

and that's undoubtedly why I had some draw to the show: I was really into detective and mystery material in earlier years and I liked the medical-detective angle as well as Klugman's public-spirited zeal. but now he looks shouty and truculent and "alarmist". which, uh, well, I've done that before >_> but it doesn't really work all that well does it ~Chara
