Seen in yesterdays paper:

	Now that Stacy Keach apparently is out of reach for the
	next nine months, CBS has announced that his "Mike Hammer"
	series will be replaced beginning Jan. 26 with "Other-
	world," a new sci-fi offering.

	"Otherworld" stars Sam Groom and Gretchen Corbett.  It
	will be put into the schedule at 8 p.m. Saturdays, with
	"Airwolf" moving to the 9 p.m. start and "Cover Up
	remaining at 10 p.m.

Does anyone know anything about this new sci-fi series?  Are we finally
going to get some good science fiction, or will this be the usual dreck?
And who are Sam Groom and Gretchen Corbett?  I can't place those names
at all.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.  Here's hoping for a 
quality series.

If memory serves me correctly, "Otherworld" was so bad that even the
networks didn't see fit to put it into the primary schedule.  Since
"Hammer" was a very popular show, they decided to fill the gap with
something the kiddies would be sure to like--mindless TV SF.

Talking about shows that dump in the night -
Note what show is coming back after being pulled
before its first episode, STREETHAWK.

Must be barf.  Can't wait to find out.

Gretchen Corbett, if I remember correctly, played Beth Davenport on the
Rockford Files. She was the lawyer that was always springing Jim from the
slammer and bringing him cases. She and Jim were *friends*.
