...penned the classic “Parking Space” episode of “Seinfeld,” co-created “King of the Hill,” and served as co-executive producer of “The Simpsons” in its mid-90s heyday. He wrote two Halloween Specials along with the priceless “Homer Badman,” in which Simpson père is accused of sexual harassment after peeling a gummi Venus de Milo off the backside of his babysitter.

Dick Clark's Rock'n Roll Summer Action, the lone summer entry from ABC, seems aimed at younger viewers (under eight, perhaps) but nods to an older crowd with guest appearances by such relics of the Top 40 as Jan and Dean and Paul Revere and the Raiders. The show makes another contribution to the nostalgia vogue: its mindless fun-on-the-beach antics...
