PHILIP MARLOWE, PRIVATE EYE episodes will begin appearing on
US public tv stations in August...the old HBO series starring
Powers Boothe, which had had several false starts as a
broadcast syndicated repeat package, but is now finally going
forward. Only the first six episodes to start (syndicator
American Public Telelivision is offering a six- episode
season). Dunno if they're chopped up in any way...hope not,
but don't remember the originals well enough to realize if
they'd need chopping even in today's censorious environment
in the US.
Todd Mason (APT rivals of sorts NETA are offering nationally,
starting in September, a Philadelphia/WYBE-produced series of
sf/suspense drama, HEAVY SEDATION, but the one episode of
that I vaguely remember seeing was more well-intentioned than
good).
