Preferring to push the boundaries, Steven Bochco constantly found himself in a war with the network censors. One of his ways to fight them was with episode titles. One episode, in particular, is worthy of mention. In season three Bochco chose the episode title, “Moon Over Uranus.”
The censors said no. Bochco fought and got his way. To stick it to them further, Bochco named the next two episodes, “Moon Over Uranus: The Sequel,” and “Moon Over Uranus: The Final Legacy.” After the show, Betty Thomas crafted an incrediblelegacy directing!
