...REVOLUTIONS PER MONKEE (NBC, 8-9 p.m.). The Monkees host a salute to the evolution of music from a beginning in African rhythms to today's psychedelic musical freakout. Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger and the Trinity are joined by Golden Oldies Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino and Little Richard among others...
...NBC's First Tuesday has problems of a different order. At two hours, it is far too long, no matter how good the stories. Last week a sensitive-and not always flattering-portrait of a New York City policeman was buried deep in the program.

Last week the First Tuesday segments dealt with a weight-reducing "fat farm" and a Christian anti-Communist crusade. Both fell into the void between irony and farce. Harry Reason-er's 60 Minutes visit with the Duke...
