"3 . . . 2 . . . '

Not only is "Runaway Squad" a cool new show, and not only is the Guru-ector of Photography our friend and partner Mr. Francisco himself, but the host is a former cop from New York.

Huh! Cops & Firefighter? Firefighters & Cops? We work together.



Sometimes we play together. We don't always get along, but when we do, it's good stuff. Their job can breed a little cynicism, ours . . . a little jocularity. We almost need each other to keep the boat level.

I think the very essence of "Runaway Squad" and the spirit of "Heroes In The House" will balance the emotions of our audience.

Watch "Runaway Squad" Monday @ 10:00 PM on A&E. Then pay careful attention to the development of "Heroes In The House" to fully get the scene. Then you make the call.

Do we balance? I think we do, and that, is how it is on the job.
