. >> when we ended the show, we got telegrams of congratulations from henry kissinger and ronald reagan. the size of the response and the emotional nature of the response that we were getting was difficult for us to understand. >> who shot j.r. and the last episode of "m.a.s.h." are the last call for the pre-cable world of television. it's like they are the last time that that huge audience will all turn up for one event. >> all right. that's it. let's roll. hey. let's be careful out there. >> dispatch, we have a 911. armed robbery in progress. >> when quality does emerge on television, the phrase "too good for tv" is often heard. one recent network offering that seems to deserve that phrase is "hill street blues." >> "hill street" is one of the changing points of the entire industry in the history of tv. >> we had all watched a documentary about cops and had this real hand-held in the moment quality that we were very enamored of. >> the minute you looked at it, it looked different. it had a mood to it. you could almost smell the stale coffee. >> we didn't want to do a standard cop show

the day from-of-before his resignation president nixon confessed to secretary of state henry kissinger watergate would consume his legacy. it has. and going around and start with you, sam. donald trump doesn't seem to be a guy who thinks about history or reads history books but he understand this is now his legacy. >> he understands historical figures and views himself as one. around in 2013 and 2014 trying to build up his base within the conservative party, criticizing republicans back then for not, taking impeachment off the table on barack obama. saying that do you think bill clinton liked it? i've talked to bill clinton about it. he hates it. ultimately he was never going to like being impeached. speaker pelosi was saying that. but here's the but. the "but." either an asterisk or writtant on his tombstone and it makes him more focused to get re-elected. for me it means actual substantive work when he gets to the debates and a lot more fund-raising. things like that. >> he's fund-raising often. right? look at the text messages, trying to fund raze off it and a., still an asterisk. b
