By JON BURLINGAME The most interesting new shows of the 1987-88 season are those best characterized as offbeat: “Dolly,” ive the variety show with Dolly CBS's Vietnam War drama; ABC's “Thirtysomething,” a “Big Chill”-like series about a group of people in their 30s; and “Beauty and the Beast,” CBS's modern fable. Three promising entries feature collaborations between well-known actors and top TV creator-pro- ducers: Dabney Coleman plays an acerbic sportswriter in ABC's “The ‘Slap’ Maxwell Story,” created by Jay Tarses (“The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd”); John Ritter returns to series TV as a cop in ABC's “Hooperman,” a comedy-drama co-created by Steven Bochco and Terry Louise Fisher (“L.A. Law”); and Tim Reid (“Simon & Simon”) stars as a New Orleans restaurateur in CBS's “Frank's Place,” a series created by Hugh Wilson (“WKRP in Cincinnati”). NBC is playing it safe this year.-It has returned most of its 1986 schedyle, hoping to maintain its No. 1 status. Only its “designated hitter” plan, featuring “Beverly Hills Buntz” (starring Dennis Franz and Peter Jurasik), “Mama's Boy” (Bruce Weitz and Nancy Walker) and “Bronx Zoo” (Ed Asner), can be considered innovative These shows will air on a once-a-month basis. Second-place CBS returns to the tried-and-true crime drama formula this season; two-thirds of its new shows feature a copy, a lawyer or a private detective as a lead character. In an attempt to get out of the ratings basement, ABC is presenting a schedule that balances several questionable renewals with some potentially risky new shows. Here’s a night-by-night high-lights of all 22 new shows: Sunday Can the weekly variety show make a comeback? ABC has thrown the dice with “Dolly,” which features a format we thought Donny and Marie had killed off. “Dolly” ‘must fight for viewers with heavily-promoted movies on the two other networks. Meanwhile, NBC tackles the formidable “Murder, She Wrote” by-moving the popular “Family Ties” over from Thursday: e “My Two Dads” (NBC). An “Odd Couple” with a child. Twelve-year-old Nicole, her mom recently deceased, is left in the custody of two men (Greg Evigan and Paul Reiser). Reiser plays a well-dressed financial adviser; Evigan a free-spirited artist. A terrible idea, its only hope is inheriting the “Family Ties” audience. e“Dolly” (ABC). This neo-variety show is an un known quantity as Dolly Parton has signed a two-year deal without benefit of pilot. A combination of music, comedy, talk and traditional variety-show elements, the show's strength lies in Parton's mainstream America appeal, considerably broader than her country-music analysis, followed by PRIVATE EVE . hard boiled detectives roots. Opposite movies with far stronger lead-ins than “Spenser,” “Dolly” may be a real longshot. e “Buck James” (ABC). Dennis Weaver returns to series TV as an uncompromising trauma surgeon at & Southwest hospital. His family life is a shambles, and the action element in this series has him pulling stunts like hanging out of a helicopter to rescue an injured factory worker. TV history is littered with recent medieal-drama failures and “Buck James” may (be the latest casualty. MONDAY The Monday night schedule remains basically un- changed: The growing popularity of NBC's alien wise guy “ALF” will probably dent CBS's aging “Kate & Allie” and, depending on the draw of NBC's Monday movie, could well damage CBS's winning lineup of comedies (including one newcomer “Everything's Relative”) and “Cagney & Lacey.” ABC continues with “MacGyver” and “Monday Night Football.” © “Everything's Relative” (CBS). Another “Odd Couple,” this time it's brothers sharing a New York apartment. Jason Alexander plays the older one, a shy, divorced professional; John Bolger is his good-looking younger sibling, a blue®ollar worker. Anne Jackson plays their mother, although Gina Hecht could steal the show as Alexander's business partner. TUESDAY CBS was murdered last year on Tuesdays, so it # trying an all-action night. Two new crime dramas will counter ABC's top-rated family comedies “Who's the Boss?” and “Growing Pains” and its mega-hit “Moon lighting.” NBC, which has a lock on older audiences with Andy Griffith's “Matlock,” attempts to carry that appeal os ie (o% tur ay over another hour with Dale Robertson in an upbeat new action show. ABC's solution for holding on to the post= Moonlighting” audience is “Thirtysomething,” an ambi tious drama about "80s life. “Jake and the Fatman” (CBS). William Conrad and Joe Penny star as, well you can guess who's who. Conrad plays a grizaled old Southern California district attorney; Penny plays his well-dressed, well-mannered undercover investigator. Each show will begin with the crime, a la “Murder, She Wrote,” and follow the leads as they. piece together the puzzle. From the producers of “Matlock,” it may have some appeal for mystery fans. e “J.J.Starbuck” (NBC). Created by Stephen J. Cannell (“The A-Team”), this drama casts Dale Robertson (“Tales of Wells Fargo”) as a Texas billionaire. that other wealthy ZY Texan “Matt Houston,” Sarbuck delights in solving difficult criminal cases, but with an added touch: He's endlessly cheerful and seems to have a homily to fit every circumstance. © “Thirtysomething” (ABC). This series tries very hard, yet it is troubling. “Hometown” tried, and. failed, two seasons ago to recapture “The Big Chill” on TV. “Thirtysomething” similarly takes seven friends, some married with kids, some single, and attempts a realistic portrait of people in their 30s. After an hour of the hip, bouncy “Moonlighting,” we'll see whether audiences will stay tuned for a serious hour of the real-life problems they're trying to forget. © “The Law and Harry McGraw” (CBS). This “Mur. der, She Wrote” spinoff stars Jerry Orbach as a seedy Boston private eye. He's paired with Barbara Babcock (Hill Street Blues”) as a socialite lawyer whose office is across the hall. Orbach plays McGraw as a '40s,throw- back, and the tone is similar to the successful “Murder, She Wrote.” But will audiences sit still for three straight hours of crime dramas on CBS?
