Hill Street Blues: No Body's Perfect (1982)
Season 3, Episode 11
1/10
Fetch? Seriously?
12 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This otherwise 8-star episode is completely trashed by the propensity of writers who find it a comedic moment to use animal characters suffering as "a light, humorous twist." There is nothing funny about Howard thoughtlessly rolling the just-found Lhasa apso's ball out the window while saying Fetch. I detest the use of contrived death of Hollywood animals as a most-often cheap, sentimental manipulation. It's beyond lazy writing, at best. At worst, it condones animal abuse.

A funny oops moment should not involve pain & death.

Throw a human animal out the window next time & see how funny others find it.
