 Academic Studies and Play on a Collision Course
The overwhelming majority of parents (91%) believe that play is important to the overall well-being of their children.
Of particular concern to educators was the pressure from parents, policymakers, and school boards for increased academic competitiveness and the delivery of higher grades and test scores being a major factor in the de-emphasis of play in schools in recent years.
"Play is any joyful activity that has no clear-cut goal, that is free of anxiety, and done for its own sake," Stuart L. Brown, M.D. said, president of the Institute For Play, a non-profit organization whose mission is to tell the full story of play to world audiences.

This may be, in part, why Burr accomplished the rare television feat in which actor becomes almost thoroughly identified with character, the performer inseparable from the role.
In this series, Burr portrayed Chief of Detectives Robert Ironside, crippled by an assassin's bullet in the pilot episode.
Burr tried several other series, but after the twin successes of Perry Mason and Ironside he was unable to capture the unity of character that a television series needs.

 Voltage flickers in 'Power Failure'
This 1990 comedy from the co-creator of the television series M*A*S*H is itself an update on Arthur Schnitzler's 1900 play La Ronde - which was notorious for its time.

 Angel (Series Finale) | PopMatters Television Review
Never assured of continued life from one year to the next, the series spun off from the beloved Buffy, and lingered on the WB even after the mama-show took off to (briefly) grateful UPN.
From its inception, Angel adopted a wily attitude and urban setting (namely, the City of Angels), differentiating itself from its origin-story and giving Angel (David Boreanaz) visibly "adult" plots and concerns (as his slayer girlfriend was, throughout their Sunnydale-based relationship, in high school and college).
More metaphorically and more precisely, the Team confront, finally and forever (until the alleged movie deal is cut), the notorious, perennial dimwittedness of the Powers That Be, that is, the desire for reality-tv-style numbers instead of scripted character arcs or the increasingly strange perils arising from demon-hunting and corporate infighting.

Both Altman and Foxworth, who performed the first leg of the national tour in Dallas, said they are impressed with production's ability to draw audiences "into the moment," which are the words Foxworth uses to describe the play's power.
A veteran of film, television and stage for six years, he played the industrious wine entrepreneur "Chase Gioberti" in the CBS prime-time drama "Falcon Crest." Foxworth's character was in constant battle with the scheming wine matriarch Angela Channing, played by film legend Jane Wyman.
