I was surprised that this episode suggests an old former cop could come back to the force without a refresher course on the new requirements like reading the rights, etc, or that the old cop wouldn't have followed the changes as he pushed the board to get back in the saddle. I do agree that it was interesting to see how both Reed and Malloy reacted to the challenges, and how Milner again delivered in the most subtlest of ways. I sure miss him (along with great and under-recognized actors like Jack Warden, Art Carney, Harry Morgan, Arthur Hill, Lloyd Bridges, George Kennedy etc)... dandy danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18063678192378244547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432892204045467262.post-82131122344708024992016-11-01T22:59:28.007-04:002016-11-01T22:59:28.007-04:00Having watched the series up to this point, and ha...Having watched the series up to this point, and having followed your blog, I can now predict within "one rating" what you're going to rate an episode - I figure this one would either be "Little Jimmy" or "Jim Gets to Drive" - I haven't even read your review yet, but I'm going to right now.

These days its all about staying out of trouble, hopefully somewhere along the way police work still gets done.

It'd certainly be possible, though, to falsely accuse someone and get them wrongly arrested if that law didn't exist. It's a Catch-22 with no perfect solution. I'd sure hate be in Shirley Young's shoes! Or Reed's or Malloy's, either, not to mention McCall's. The whole episode is a study in unpleasant consequences.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432892204045467262.post-55064278745253594862016-10-18T00:03:33.564-04:002016-10-18T00:03:33.564-04:00Thank you!

She moved all the way from Oregon to L.A. and still could not get away from her awful ex-husband.

But, I think he is just a little harsh with McCall. Malloy seems to treat him much more gently. But, as Reed points out, that doesn't work either.

Lol
A top rating?...Omg you got this one all wrong! Lol <br />A top rating? You are a mad woman! I liked Reefs annoyance because it makes sense that he would not relate to the old guy's ways, the scene with Malloy reallyis good. Malloy can be crabby, but with sympathy and Grace got the guy to realize he wanted to leave. Ah, Milner. I never like actors that are kind of whiny. The battered wife's complaint was whiny. I am sypathetic to frustration, but you whine at me prepare to get you feelings hurt. Lol so now we have seen two chests. This kids and Crosby's, but not Reef or Malloy. Life is not always fair. <br /><br />Thanks for explaining the belt closure. Never figured it out myself.<br /><br />Thank you for another greAt blog entry.

Seems to me that he's just sticking to his usual position that suspects deserve fair treatment per the law (innocent til proven guilty) rather than old-school "fist justice" meted out by a righteous LEO in defense of a victim. I understand the older returning cop's vengeful anger at the nasty ex-husband, but one reason for laws is to avoid vigilante retribution. Both Reed's and McCall's feelings are totally understandable, and I sympathize with both of them, but if you're a "good cop", you can't just enforce the laws you like or apply them when you choose. I just think Reed will always be a good, fair cop. His disillusionment doesn't develop until much later in the series, bless his heart, and I guess I'll just always love his character.
