Department S Fan Tributes

1 Joe Posner from San Jacinto, CA: I discovered "Department S" in the mid '80s, during a difficult time in my life.

I was working out of a day labor hall in downtown Los Angeles, struggling to survive, while pursuing writing on the side.

One night, after a hard day at a bottled water company, I turned on the television, cold beer in hand, and stumbled onto "Department S." I liked it immediately!

Peter Wyngarde' s flamboyant Jason King, bestselling novelist/detective, became a perfect alter ego for a struggling writer going
through tough times.

My life eventually got better, and I
escaped to a full-time writing job and a flat in the suburbs.

I will always be thankful to "Department S" and the entertainment, and escapism, it gave me in hard times.
