ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT FOX, Mondays, 8 P.M. E.T. Critics have spent two years??trying to bolster this show, without success. So here's a change in strategy: do not check out TV's best sitcom when it returns this month. Yes, this screwball comedy about an idle-rich family has simplified its story lines so new viewers can catch up. But who cares? Crackling interplay between a top-notch ensemble, the fastest blizzard of jokes this side of The Simpsons and sly guest appearances by stars from Scott Baio to Charlize Theron-- they're all overrated. Besides, intense belly laughs...
...more men?including a Freewill Baptist preacher, a tavern bouncer, a 71-year-old Philadelphia cop, and a 17-year-old high school dropout. The 19 were charged, too, in connection with the killings.

After his tall tales were exposed...
...appealing collection of young American gymnasts, most stirringly Mary Lou Retton but also some wondrous men for a change, have given the Olympic Games what they wait for every four years???and sometimes eight?the gift of renewed youth. Last week in Los Angeles, a pretty and pleasant time, occasionally even captivating, the U.S. began swimmingly against most of the world, less the Soviets and East Germans of course, maybe too successfully for some tastes. After so many choruses of our national anthem and chants of "U.S.A.!," the impulse might be to wish for someone else to win, just...
