What's on TV? Thursday, December 4, 1975

Xt's a strong lineup that CBS offers us tonight, one that serves them well for several seasons: The Waltons, Hawaii Five-O and Barnaby Jones. To coin a phrase from my friend David Hofstede, it's comfort TV. On the other hand, NBC tries out two new sitcoms tonight: Grady, a spinoff from Sanford and Son (10 episodes), and The Cop and the Kid (9 episodes). The latter is the perfect description of a show you'd never see on TV today: a white L.A. cop who adopts a black kid from the ghetto. Charles Durning deserved better. Over at ABC, Barney Miller and The Streets of San Francisco are certified hits, and Harry-O should have gotten a longer run. Perhaps Hawaii Five-O filled the quota on shows containing "-O." Anyway, this is what viewers were watching in the Minnesota State Edition.
