Two men are found executed with their feet cut off, and it's soon determined that they're members of the Armenian mob. While Dutch (Jay Karnes) investigates the case, Vic (Michael Chiklis) and his Strike Team realize that the Armenians think the "Money Train" robbery (from season two) was an inside job. A routine drug bust leads to a cache of ammo, which Vic discovers intended for a large number of MP-5 weapons that were stolen from the military. Vic works his contacts in the Byz Latz and the One-Niners in an effort to track down the guns before they are used in a potential gang war. Claudette (CCH Pounder) clashes with Aceveda (Benito Martinez) when he delays turning control of The Barn over to her. Corrine (Cathy Cahlin Ryan) hires Owen (Vincent Angell) to tutor Matthew (Joel Rosenthal) and informs Vic that she is going back to work to help pay for it. Vic also argues with Shane (Walton Goggins), who wants to buy a car for his new girlfriend, Mara (Michele Hicks). Danny (Catherine Dent), working as a school security guard while she appeals her firing, learns that Aceveda can get her back on the force if she'll agree to keep an eye on her fellow officers for him. An agent from the treasury department shows up at The Barn to speak with Aceveda because some of the money stolen from the Armenians had been marked during a sting operation. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

A darkly comic and surreal contemporization of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, this effects-heavy Bill Murray holiday vehicle from 1988 sees the former SNL funnyman assuming the role of television executive Frank Cross, the meanest and most depraved man on earth. Cross will stoop to unheard of levels to increase his network's ratings -- even if it means mounting outrageous programs to retain an audience, such as "Robert Goulet's Cajun Christmas" and Lee Majors in "The Night the Reindeer Died," with an AK-47-toting Santa. Cross plots his foulest move, however, for the Christmas holiday, when he will force his office staff to mount a live production of A Christmas Carol on national television -- and thus work through Christmas Eve. Cross's life is turned upside down with visits from three ghosts: a craggy-faced cabbie known as The Ghost of Christmas Past (David Johansen); the sugar-plum fairy Ghost of Christmas Present (Carol Kane) (who gets her jollies by bonking Frank across the face with a toaster oven); and, eventually, the caped, headless Ghost of Christmas Future, who will send Frank sliding into a crematory oven -- just before he gives the sleazoid one last chance to redeem himself. Along the way, the spirits carry Frank to scenes from his past, present, and future (per Scrooge) and impart a glimpse of how he became so thoroughly rotten. The radiant Karen Allen co-stars as Frank's girlfriend, Claire Phillips, and the film packs in cameos from countless celebrities -- among them, Mary Lou Retton, John Houseman, Jamie Farr, and, in a truly grisly and tasteless bit, John Forsythe. Richard Donner directs, from a script credited to the late Michael O'Donoghue and Mitch Glazer. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

In the conclusion of a two-part story, Harry (Harry Anderson) blames himself when Dan (John Larroquette) lapses into a coma, even though the real cause was Dan's strenuous seduction of Sheila (Leslie Bevis) while he was still confined to a hospital bed. Ultimately awakening to find that his friends are holding a bedside vigil around him, Dan figures that he's off the hook for his irresponsible behavior. But he's figured wrong--dead wrong! Frequent Night Court guest star Jack Riley shows up in the role of Dr. Flick. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Rock-em sock-em LAPD detective sergeant Rick Hunter (Fred Dryer) continues busting heads and breaking arms in pursuit of justice as Hunter begins its second season. Someone is systematically murdering female porn stars, and Hunter and his partner DeeDee McCall (Stepfanie Kramer) are ordered to find out who and why. So Hunter goes undercover at a seedy modelling agency, while McCall dons form-fitting leotards at an exercise club known to be hangout for the porn industry. Several plot twists and double crosses later, Dee Dee finds herself the killer's next target--and Hunter is miles away. Directed by former Starsky and Hutch star David Soul, this episode introduces two new series regulars: Bruce Davison as Captain Wyler, and Richard Beauchamp as Carlos the morgue attendant. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Having finished her first art-class oil paintings, Louise (Isabel Sanford) proudly shows them off to her friends and family.

Danny Wells makes his final series appearance as Charlie the bartender. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

To save his own neck, Boss does what he always does under these circumstances: He frames the Duke boys for his own misdeeds! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Ever in pursuit of extra money, Fred and Lamont Sanford (Redd Foxx, Demond Wilson) take over management of a rooming house, which they rename the Sanford Arms. At first, our heroes intend to be discriminating in their clientele; after all, they can't just let anybody rent a room. But when tenants fail to materialize and the debt begins mounting, the Sanfords are forced to rethink their screening process -- and as a result, they open their doors to a fugitive from justice. Nancy Kulp makes her first series appearance as May Hopkins, the mother of semi-regular Officer "Hoppy" Hopkins (Howard Platt). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
