...ratings for all of Saturday night, which the network now dominates. In keeping with the overall trend, CBS will introduce two new half-hour comedies and four crime shows. The thrillers will include Shaft, with Richard Roundtree repeating his movie role as a flamboyant black private eye, and Cojack, starring Telly Savalas as "a tough but compassionate" cop. Savalas won acclaim this year in a similar role in CBS's The Marcus-Nelson Murders. Another thriller will bring Perry Mason back in a new series. Another Perry has to be found, however, since the old one, Raymond Burr...

He never directly answered the charges or appeared as a witness under oath, and the chief defense contention seemed to be only that the defendants had all been innocent bystanders. The jury...
...probably libelous. The private detective Philip Marlowe was Chandler's surrogate knight, his field of battle what Chandler called "the shadow line," his adversaries the people who walk it. In his present incarnation (Elliott Gould), Marlowe becomes a chain-smoking shlemiel. Gould looks less like a private eye than like a junkie half on the nod slouching along Sunset Strip looking for a fix. The only dope here is Marlowe himself. He stumbles into a job of playing wet nurse to an alcoholic fount of bestsellers (Sterling Hayden) whose ice-maiden wife (Nina Van Pallandt, late of the Clifford...
