Yes, Evan, I did; and thanks, everybody, for the amazing response!!!  I
would post a winner (the same person who I thought would win early on
still looks like the champ unless I get a perfect sheet very soon), but
I'm still getting about a response a day.  A results posting within the
first week of February is promised.

I also agree that Hill Street has righted itself after a kind of lackluster
start this year.  I think it had a lot to do with the supposed format 
changes that NBC was going to push through to cut production costs; i.e.,
less characters onscreen at once, shorter, one-part storylines, etc.
This doesn't appear to have been kept up, though; we're back to the
usual brilliance of past seasons.  PRaise be his name...
