...streets in The Oldest Rookie, Jerry Orbach as a private eye in The Law and Harry McGraw, and Dale Robertson as a crime-solving Texas billionaire in J.J. Starbuck. Only Robertson seems to be truly enjoying the work. NBC's Private Eye, created by Anthony Yerkovich (Miami Vice), is hipper but not much better. Star Michael Woods, as a disgraced cop who becomes a private eye to avenge his brother's murder, growls like a road-company Don Johnson; the stylized 1950s look is unconvincing, and the dialogue sounds like parody: "I can look at myself mornings, Charlie.

...when the comedy gets a bit weird on the Tonight show. But the real crazies rarely make it to Carson's stage. Goldthwait did have one Tonight appearance a year ago, when Joan Rivers was guest host, and some of his offbeat contemporaries can occasionally be seen in such hipper network venues as Late Night with David Letterman and Saturday Night Live.

...pinwheeling series of betrayals--then customized with camera style. Strapped to a car fender, or sauntering at ankle level through a rowdy party, or tracking smoothly down a long bar counter (and over a passed-out customer), the Coens' camera is a participant in the action, and worlds hipper than anyone on-screen. "Hi, I'm here," it as much as says, "and I'm soooo smart." It is too; it creates elegant riddles of space and time, then solves them with an originality that hits the viewer like a rabbit- punch line. The lovers repose in bed, a turnstile...
