...season's one new cop show. (The cops are known as Chippies to California motorists, but NBC quickly saw the problem with that title.) Daniel Boone is back, or rather Young Dan'l Boone. This time he is 25 years old and accompanied by a runaway slave and preteen sidekick on his wilderness walks for CBS. For long-neglected horse opera fans, Rod Taylor will bit The Oregon Trail as a pioneer plodding west for NBC, Big Hawaii will go even farther west on NBC-to Paradise Ranch, where a cantankerous family of cattle ranchers haggle over their...
