"Picket Fences" season 1, episode 11: 'Pageantry'

I don't take any credit for this one - hell, the powers that be didn't even see fit to list Assistant Editors in the end credits at the time - but I worked on this holiday episode of "Picket Fences" assisting my mentor, Ed Rothkowitz back in 1992. As it happens, I cut about 30% of this one including a large chunk of Act 2 (it is possible to tell which scenes I worked on, much to my surprise) but my point in posting it here is as an example of one damn fine hour of television. It first aired in December when the show was barely known - and this particular episode suffered from especially bad ratings due to the holidays. Still, I DARE anyone to watch this without bawling their eyes out by the end. Timeless TV, enjoy:
