True Crime: The Case Of Michael Baker
Diane has a big-time problem on her hands: one of her stars was leaving. Diane was head of programming for FAVE-TV, and she needed a Fall replacement for Michael Baker, whom was leaving the highly rated "True Crime" series for a career in movies. Everybody else in the management circle was holding their breath, but it looked like Baker was on his way out.
One option, of course, was to continue the show with a new host. However, Baker had become immensely popular in certain big-city markets. It was him who had convinced many people to watch the low-rated "On the Police Beat," at 9 o clock, just so they could be right on time for "True Crime" at 10 and would'nt have to leave "Movie of the Week" or "Thad's Science Fiction Theater" halfway through.
