Returning Shows
Heavy on cast changes: Carl Weathers is the new police chief in town on CBS' In the Heat of the Night, and Anne-Marie Johnson exits Heat to strut her comic stuff on Fox's In Living Color. Two NBC sitcoms promote recurring characters to regular status — John Pankow joins Mad About You full-time as Paul Reiser's bachelor cousin, and Farrah Forke steps up her torment of Steven Weber as Wings' sexy helicopter pilot. The letterhead of L.A. Law keeps changing: Sheila Kelley and Lisa Zane are gone, Alan Rosenberg and Debi Mazar transfer their Civil Wars characters, and Alexandra Powers (a hooker in Rising Sun) plays the firm's newest attorney, a fundamentalist Christian. Finally, expect more of the same from Fox's The Simpsons and NBC's Seinfeld; for the former, guest voices (George Harrison, Michelle Pfeiffer); for the latter, taboo topics (the logical step after masturbation — orgasms, i.e., Jason Alexander's George doesn't know if his girlfriend is having them).
