TV writers and producers criticize the medium in "You Should See What You're Missing!" What's missing on the air, according to those interviewed, are thought-provoking, hard-hitting programs. "What you wind up with" says "Barney Miller" producer Danny Arnold, "is a kind of innocuous pablum." Similar criticisms are offered by former "MASH" producer Larry Gelbart, "Police Story" creator Joseph Wambaugh, Abby Mann ("Kojak") and Susan Harris, whose series "Fay" (cancelled last season) is among those excerpted in a look at network censorship. Also: how new shows are tested. NOTE: Joined in progress. Missing opening three minutes. Otherwise complete.
