they stopped using his last name (Hinkley) after the attempted Regan assasiantion

(the more you know)
@approachingmyexpirationdate Not a permanent change, though; from the Wikipedia article:

[quote]The lead character's surname was changed from "Hinkley" to "Hanley" for the latter part of the first season, immediately after President Ronald Reagan and three others were shot and wounded by John Hinckley Jr. on March 30, 1981. The character's name was reverted to "Hinkley" after a few months had passed.[/quote]

The original name is definitely used in later seasons.
