Third Watch Television Program

Networks have found themselves under attack in recent years from parents groups and conservative advocates who question putting shows such as "Friends" and "Melrose Place" on at times when children are more apt to be watching. This season, some of that fire is coming from their own elite troops.

This must be hell. That's what it looks like in Red Hook, amid the abandoned industrial buildings and brick warehouses: the dumping ground for old mattresses, rusted oil drums, a stripped and burned Mercedes-Benz and whatever useless trash that's been tossed vicariously out a car window. It's Brooklyn's junkyard district, a place God has forsaken, where the Manhattan chic wouldn't be caught dead. Nothing grows here, especially not in the winter, except maybe a few weeds.
