Others feel that he is the first eccentric ripple in a new wave of insane, absurd television comedy. If they are right, by next season the screen will be Smarting with maimed heavies and mentally defective detectives. And so it will go, until one day someone looking for Big Money in television comes up with a new idea: "People are tired of crazy, improbable situation...
