    • Quotes

      Paul Kramer: [after picking up Cary at the police station] Would you mind telling me what you were thinking?

      Cary Hayes: Nothing.

      Paul Kramer: [sarcastically] Nothing. Oh, that's a brilliant answer.

      Cary Hayes: You asked me a question and I answered it. I mean, what's the big deal? All they got me for is reckless driving and a misdemeanor. So what?

      Paul Kramer: What the hell is the matter with you? What do you think, the cops want to play cowboys and Indians with you? You're lucky they didn't blow your brains out! Oh, what's the use? It's like talking to a wall.

      Cary Hayes: When do I get my car back?

      Paul Kramer: You don't! I have been walking on eggshells with you, ever since I met your mom. Well, maybe I was wrong. Maybe I didn't go about it the right way, but, damn it, I tried!

      Cary Hayes: I never asked you to try!

      Paul Kramer: Oh, no. You never had trouble asking for anything you wanted: money, clothes, your car. Well, I'm tired, Cary! I'm tired of pretending! I'm tired of bending over backwards just to keep peace with you. You're either gonna get your act together or you're gonna get out!

      Cary Hayes: Fine! I'll get out.

      Paul Kramer: [shaking his head] Not this time, Cary. Not this time.

    Promising pilot for Michael Landon's last TV show
    This was the 2-hour pilot episode for a new TV show that Michael Landon began putting together when he was convinced that he was beating the cancer that eventually took his life (the show aired a few months after he died). Landon plays a man released from a long prison term after being cleared of the murder for which he was wrongfully convicted. His teenage son thinks he's dead, and Landon's relationship with his father isn't much better. The show seemed to be headed toward being (at least in part) a character study as the three generations of men re-build their relationships.

    Although still easily falling in line with Landon's trademark family-friendly dramas, "Us" appeared to be headed in a slightly edgier direction than his previous work -- the protagonists are far from perfect, issues aren't always resolved in an hour, etc. This show had promise; yet another aspect of what we lost when Landon died.
