Timecop was pretty ordinary.
The Six Million Dollar Man was a popular series that ran several years,
lead to one spin-off series, and multiple made-for-tv movies.  No,
it wasn't really very good science fiction, but it was a commercial
success, which is what the job of the producers is.
The Mod Squad was a break-through series that was also very popular.
Yes, it looks dated today, but it was an important series in the
development of television.  Everybody involved in its production should
take pride.
Harve Bennett was involved in some good Star Trek projects.  He then
came up with a bad idea, and left when it was rejected -- an idea that
has since been adopted for a line of books about the Star Trek universe.
