The story could be aprocryphal, perhaps it's as you suggested: the storyteller 
saw the scene on television and thought it happened himself.  Or, its even 
possible that the person who wrote that episode of Hill Street Blues may have 
even seen the same event himself at the old diner and wrote it into the show.  
Its possible - Phil's is about three minutes away from where lots of showbiz 
folks live.

In any case, even if it didn't happen that way, most of the old time patrons 
would believe it was true.
