SERIES PREMIERE: The day after the May ratings sweeps end, the networks begin their spring cleaning, and throwing out (and onto TV) stuff from deep within their closets, stuff that wasn’t good enough to risk televising when the stakes were higher. Presto: The first new summer series of this year’s Write-Off Theatre is presented by Fox, in a series about a cop who’s controlled by a local gang leader, but may be having second thoughts and pangs of conscience. It’s an age-old story line, but in the case of Gang Related, it’s not exactly improved with age. For a full review, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes. This is a warning, not a recommendation.
