He certainly pushed the envelope with his shows, including nudity and foul language. Certainly, his shows were well-received and well written. I did enjoy L.A. Law for their legal dramas and for introducing the tv world to Courtney Thorne-Smith as a Lakers cheerleader. 0_0
I remember a local pastor picketed the local TV station that showed HSB for months - he was protesting the nudity and foul language. I still remember the Christmas episode that ended with Belker alone in front of the TV with a frozen dinner.
