re: "Mister Bookman", the library detective:
He was the police detective, assigned to investigate (ironically) Jerry in the Phil Joanou (sp?) movie, "Three O'Clock High", for those of you who might be wondering where the HELL you recognized him from. He was great.
In the general San Francisco / Silicon Valley area:
FOX 2 ABC 7 NBC 4 CBS 5 PBS 9, 54
and Doctor Gene Scott on channel 38 from 9:00pm to 1:00am every night.
