David Selby's Kojak - 1 hour from now

[Josette]

The other night they repeated the Lara Parker episode.  I just noticed that they're about to repeat the Selby one.  That's 2 a.m. Thursday the 6th on MeTV

Thanks for the heads up, Josette!    I'll program my DVR now...

Glad I caught you - I usually don't discover these things ahead of time to alert anyone, and when it's this late I never know whether to bother.

It's always good to document the fact that something was on - even if it's after the fact. 

As for the ep itself, apparently the more things change, the more they remain the same because even though it originally ran in 1976, given the subject matter, it could have easily been made today.

I had forgotten what the episode was from the last time until it started.  It was nice to see him have such a major role - usually "our" stars seem to get bit parts.  It really does seem to have come straight from today's news. 

[For those who haven't seen it - it involved a Hispanic boy being shot by a white policeman (we see that he was aiming a gun, but his family and the community insist he wasn't) - Selby is the policeman who shot him and there are the resultant tensions between the community and the police plus the effect on Selby's character.]
