...this time is discovered not aroil but tranquil, living in a Buddhist monastery in Thailand. Sure, he occasionally indulges in the local sport of stick fighting to keep in trim, but mostly he enjoys the silence and the sunsets. When his mentor and only friend, Colonel Sam Trautman (Richard Crenna), is captured by a particularly disagreeable Soviet officer while trying to aid the Afghan rebels, Rambo is recalled to primitive business as usual. There are, of course, low cunning, high explosives and much running around without a shirt, punctuated with other familiar gambits: torture scenes; the self-cauterization...
...Blood, the unappreciated Rambo was goaded into waging a one-man war against National Guardsmen in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. In the sequel, after a stretch in prison, he moves from a surrogate Viet Nam to the real thing. At the request of his former commander (Richard Crenna), Rambo takes on a dangerous reconnaissance mission to search out MIAs in Viet Nam.

There he meets a car dealer (Richard Crenna), slightly shady and blatantly materialistic, who tries to tempt him away from the good values of his decent dad (Hector Elizondo), a plumber whose trade may be humble but whose spirit is not. There is originality and poignancy in Neal Marshall's story about competing father figures, and Garry...
Newhart, featuring Bob, that drip-dry palladin of the beleaguered middle class, running an inn in Vermont with his wife (Mary Frann), could be in its sixth year instead of its sixth episode. Richard Crenna and Patty Duke Astin show up on It Takes Two (ABC, Thursdays, 9:30-10 p.m. E.S.T.) fighting the kind of lightly amusing skirmishes in the battle of the sexes, married division, on which the dust should long since have settled. A rich kid (Ricky Schroder) gives his dippy dad (Joel Higgins) lessons in modern maturity on Silver Spoons (NBC, Saturdays...
