It was quite an episode. Yes it was bay area and the themesong sounds familiar.
I may have been able to watch it on my local affiliate during that era. It's
interesting that the district attorney in that interview was already discussing
criminal uses of BBS's even in those early days. It blows me away. Anyway, I
grew up in Sacramento and so it wasn't uncommon for local shows to play on our
networks back in the day. It does appear to be a PBS show from the way it was
sponsored.
