division. Mrs. Harry Williams;
use climactic violence, these
aspects of a show may be
forgotten, or glossed over, or
just serve as transitional
material to reach the final
fight, but robbed of the no-
think, kick-in-the-teeth climax,
suddenly the characters, plot
and dialogue are centrally
important—more than usual in
weekly video series—and one
sees them exactly as they are.
No one of any intelligence
regards the basic quality level
of most television series as
very high. But It is silly to
blame the problem on writers,
actors, producers, directors,
or network executives. The
problem is simply there is too
much television. No one can
grind out superior stories for
show after show, week after
week.
Thus was the debut of "The
Outsider” victimized by the
antiviolence crusade. And other
shows will be similarly affect-
ed, and many of them will not
be as basically likeable as "The
Outsider,” and will suffer
accordingly, especially those
without as amiable a leading
man as McGavin.
Don’t expect hearts and
flowers in every action series,
however. There will be "moti-
vated” violence in a number of
shows—and of course truly
dramatic showdowns in violent
terms are justified if properly
motivated. It is unnecessary to
go again into the classics of
literature that are full of
violence.
The television showdown,
however, will come when the
shows that are downplaying
violence are perhaps hit hard
by the early-season ratings—the
ones that make the difference in
whether they stay on or go off
the air.
We know that unmotivated
violence is going to gradually be
brought back on the air in

TV In Review
By RICK DU BROW
HOLLYWOOD (UPI)—Some-
thing was noticeably missing
from this week’s premier of
NfiC-TV’s private eye series,
“TheOutsider”: Violence.'
There seems little do^ that
this add violence campaign took
its toll of the new, one-hour,
Wednesday night show that
stars Darren McGavin.
For time and again the
experienced viewer could al-
most feel the moments where
violence would have been used
under the old system—and
where it will be used again
when the heat is off.
And watching the show under
these circumstances was en-
lightening. It was vicid proof of
how a program often relies on a
punch in the mouth of a gun
duel as its climax—and how the
same show can sag when denied
the chance to use these easy
ways out.
Actually, "The Outsider” was
pleasant enough in the tradition-
al private eye mold. But I don’t
think anybody would deny that
it barely got off the ground in
terms of being gripping.
What we saw was a basically
likeable hero and format that
got caught up in small talk. The
characters were pretty routine.
The plot—about card cheating
in a men’s club—was interesting
but not overwhelming. And the
wit was ordinary.
