So many people are writing that the show "The Day AFter" did little else
but increase ABC's ratings for the evening. What's wrong with this. I'm
sure that was their original intent in showing the film. Had they decided
to show a highly educational film they might have employed the talents of
such people as Cronkite, Ustinov (he was good on NOVA), or Sagen to explain
in detail the many things that would happen if should a tragedy were to
occur.

The show was extremely entertaining. I enjoyed it very much. I felt that
there were several minor flaws (acting, script, facts) in it but such is
life. Why are we all dwelling on this subject so much. The best way to voice
your opinions so that they have some causal effect would be for you to write
to your congressmen, state lobbiests, state educational directors, the major
networks, etc.

We can't watch PBS all the time...
