...other Cosby imitators are easily disposable. In CBS's Charlie & Company, Flip Wilson and Gladys Knight cope with standard TV family dilemmas in substandard comic fashion. And in ABC's Growing Pains, Alan Thicke, the former talk show host, plays a psychiatrist who sets up an office at home while his wife (Joanna Kerns) goes off to work and his children attack him with lines like "You can't hit me, you're a liberal humanist." The only comedy to venture out of the house this season is CBS's hourlong Stir Crazy, based on the phenomenally successful 1980 movie...
...Gorbachev will do everything for the benefit of the regime," said Fridrikh Neznansky, a Russian emigre who spoke through an interpreter. "He is not a white knight to save the people...
...nearly three decades, Detroit has been the scene of one of the costliest and hardest-fought newspaper rivalries in the U.S. In a battle for dominance of the sixth largest market in the nation, the powerful Knight-Ridder Newspapers Inc. has spent an estimated $23 million since 1979 to cover losses at the morning Detroit Free Press (circ. 646,476).

"Let's get the double play," barks Third Baseman Ray Knight. Joey Amalfitano, the Dodger coach at third base, wigwags some semaphore to Scioscia, who flicks his helmet to signal message received. Gooden looks at Knight and mouths, "Squeeze bunt?" Knight looks at Amalfitano and says, "Too obvious." At first base, Keith Hernandez gives thought to visiting Gooden, but reconsiders. "What am I going to tell him? Bear down?" Bearing down, Gooden makes Scioscia foul...
...montage style, juxtaposes reveries by the ingratiating central couple--for example, about the pleasures of "nondirective, noncommitted, nonauthoritarian" sex--with satiric snippets depicting how that rhetoric translates into the raunch and squalor of an anonymous sexual underworld. The supporting cast all play multiple roles; Ken Kliban and Lily Knight are especially effective as an AIDS victim's estranged straight brother and tolerant chum. Hoffman has written rich, lyric dialogue for the leads: a budding writer (Jonathan Hogan) who is diagnosed as having the disease, and a former lover (Jonathan Hadary) who takes him back "as is" to nurse him.
