The agony involved upon the scripted death of their son Stephen, and effect on their marriage on the show, was as gripping as anything I've ever seen on TV. Both won Emmy's for their work on what I believe, along with "Homicide", was the best show ever on TV.

St. Elsewhere was indeed a TV treasure, I must have known but now had forgotten that the Craig's were real life partners.
Another one from that time period that I thought was terrific was Hill Street Blues. I see that Mermaid has nominated Daniel J Travanti and Veronica Hamel for favorite couple, and deservedly so.
Like the sargeant would say every morning "let's be careful out there."
