Grand Hotel, which opened last week, and Meet Me in St. Louis are influenced by films that were in turn based on books.

CBS's Kay O'Brien, about a female surgeon, is Dr. Kildare crossed with Cagney & Lacey. In ABC's Jack and Mike, a newspaper columnist rushes to help folks in trouble while trying to keep her marriage afloat, a yuppie update of Hart to Hart. In CBS's Downtown, a tough cop gets crime-fighting help from four oddball parolees, a sort of B-Team. In addition to the routine fare, however, Bochco and Mann are introducing second- generation...
