Members Paul Raven Posted December 30, 2022 Members Share Posted December 30, 2022 In the June 6 1968 issue of Variety, Bill Bell took out a full page ad An Open Letter to the Television and Film Industries The gist was that in the light of the murders of MLK and RFK, he asked the industry look to themselves as to the presentation of violence in these media. Next to his name was an asterisk and in the bottom of the page was a small note that he was writer of Days. He obviously felt strongly about this. At that time he was based in Chicago and would be pretty much unknown to the Hollywood community. I wonder if there was any reaction? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Titus Andronicus Posted December 31, 2022 Members Share Posted December 31, 2022 I have found a handful of editorials mentioning Bell's Variety ad. Director Jerry Paris also had taken one out, Paris vowing to no longer be involved in anything he thought glorified violence. Paris' and Bell's sentiments were very supported in newspapers. Oakland Tribune TV columist Bob McKenzie said he hoped Bell's wishes would happen. Papers in Fort Worth, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Des Moines all quoted from at least part of Bell's letter. Des Moines ran another editorial on the same day that didn't mention Bell, but were thoughts that there was too much violence on film and TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted December 31, 2022 Members Share Posted December 31, 2022 Thanks for following that up. There was a general reaction to violence on TV at the time. CBS put out a memo to all their producers asking them to look at shows in production for fall and delete any scenes that may be considered overly violent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Darn Posted January 19, 2023 Members Share Posted January 19, 2023 Question: Does anyone recall an Australian blog from the early 2000s that recapped mid-90s episodes of Days because they were 5 years behind? It just popped into my head and I want to make sure it wasn't some sort of fever dream. I used to enjoy reading them quite a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted January 20, 2023 Members Share Posted January 20, 2023 Was it called Days Downunder? I have a faint memory of this as well... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
