...Deadline (NBC, 9 p.m.) The journalism community has already unsheathed its red pencils over the portrayal of reporters in this crime hour from the maker of the reliably fine "Law & Order." Oliver Platt - one of several movie actors whom, this season, you will learn you were apparently dying to see star in a TV series - is an abrasive New York tabloid columnist who manages to solve crime capers with a class of journalism students on the side. The over-the-top first couple of episodes combine "L&O"?style forensicism with the supposedly colorful antics of a suite of journalistic...
...Daly from "Wings" - kind of like seeing Danny DeVito as Napoleon on all those billboards in the movie "Get Shorty"? Daly may not be a natural action hero as Dr. Richard Kimble, but Mykelti Williamson at least makes a commanding Lt. Gerard. This is a competent, movielike action hour - nothing more, nothing less - that owes far more to the explosive Tommy Lee Jones movie than to the often menacing, noir-y 1960s ABC series. It is interesting, in a fall when the executin'-est governor in the U.S. is running for president, to see a network reviving a series based...

Starring as a Great White Hope police commissioner sent to clean up Washington, D.C., Nelson displays a set of pipes barely hinted at in his years on "Coach," spending the long pilot hour barking, bloviating, singing(!) and generally chewing the scenery. ?No, YOU hold on!," he screams at an incompetent police underling, one of several shiftless African Americans depicted in a cornball, overwritten drama with truly creepy racial politics. "Can you tell me WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THIS CITY!?!? Um, how about an uninspiring lead using...
...poster child for just woke up,” she says. An hour later, she’s ready to work...
...even a road. Yet it's clear we are flying over a major international thoroughfare. Hundreds of shiny footpaths and tire tracks weave through the desert below, where the temperature on the ground routinely reaches 115? F in the summer. You need to drink a gallon of water an hour to survive in heat like that, and the illegal aliens and smugglers who pounded these paths into the desert had another 80 miles to go before they reached the nearest paved road. But parched terrain wasn't the only peril they faced: these tracks all head smack into a live...
