It provides an experience as uneven as that of living in Los Angeles, which many Easterners see as a cultural lunarscape of panoramic barrenness and sterility. Like, you know, as opposed to the Bronx. Also arriving tonight on ABC is "The Norm Show," starring Norm Macdonald, much funnier in this sleeper of a sitcom than he was as the smirky newsreader on NBC's "Saturday Night Live," whose firing of him ultimately may have elevated his career by making him TV's biggest comedy martyr of the '90s. Macdonald plays a former pro hockey player sentenced to community service as a social worker after his conviction for tax evasion. It's evident that social work is no easy fit for him tonight when one of his clients trades her job at a pizza parlor for one at a massage parlor.

His boss: "I can never tell if you're just joking or you're just stupid." Norm: "Well, I try to mix it up, sir." Macdonald's ability to do this without being stupid his character is actually quite smart is key to this series, some of which is just a hoot, its humor perfectly tailored to its star's offbeat sardonic style. He delivers here with a relaxed ease that contrasts vividly with Laurie Metcalf as his gratingly hyperventilating colleague, who finds Norm's ways mystifying. The Humor's Unique on 'Tenacious D' Rounding out the evening's trio of newcomers is "Tenacious a likably strange weekly comedy about a rock band that affirms 'HBO as having TV's most distinctive programs. Jack Black and Kyle Gass reprise the double-talking, double-chinned characters they played in a couple of HBO short films. Titling themselves "the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world," they're a pair of singing, guitar-strumming sausages who perform in the backwaters of show biz before club patrons who hardly take notice.

"Tenacious is for viewers with a yen for the bent. It's stream-of-consciousness bizarre; in one episode, a large human-like creature with long, hairy arms Sas-quatch comes down from the mountains to be the troubadours' drummer. He's crushed when things don't work out. As for more familiar drumbeats Although Los Angeles is too vast and diverse to be captured in a single set of stereotypes, "It's like, you know makes the effort, with highly mixed results. Muzak for the premiere is one of those freeway chases, provoking this amusing exchange from the 8:30 a.m.

"It's like, you know is also a reminder of the "Seinfeld" cast's greatness. The new show's only cast member appearing capable of that level is Eigeman, who first came to note as a charmingly arrogant and debauched member of a set of young Manhattan aristocrats whose own shallowness Whit Still-man captured so effortlessly in his 1990 drawing room comedy, "Metropolitan." In contrast, "It's like, you know tries too hard, especially when seeking to chip itself off the old block as it does when two of its characters have a purposely fatuous debate over whose relationship with a female is more superficial. Tuesday night's "Seinfeld" rerun on KTLA, meanwhile, was "The Bi-zarro Jerry," a brilliant episode in which Elaine took up with three new chums who were the thoughtful, sensitive opposites of Jerry, George and Kramer, the highlight coming when the two sets of friends encountered one another on the sidewalk one night and George sheepishly asked Elaine if he could join the new group. "I'm sorry," she replied.

"We've already got a George." And a "Seinfeld." "It's like, you know premieres tonight at 8:30 on ABC, "The Norm Show" at 9:30 p.m. also on ABC. The network has rated "It's like" TV-PG-D (may be unsuitable for young children, with a special advisory for dialogue); "The Norm Show" TV-14-D (may be unsuitable for children younger than 14, with a special advisory for dialogue). "Tenacious premieres tonight on HBO at 11. The network has rated it TV-MA (suitable for mature characters sitting transfixed in front of a TV set: "He shoulda grabbed a hostage.

Then he coulda used the carpool lane." "The good news is he's gonna hit traffic if he doesn't exit the 101 Freeway before the 405 split." "No, he should stay on the 101, then take the 405 south to the 5 at theElToroY." "Yeah, but if he takes the 101 to the 134. Aghast while observing this vacuity we're gonna sit around like idiots and watch this car is a New Yorker named Arthur (Chris Eigeman), who is starting a two-month stay in L.A. to write a book about the city. He's bunking with his former college roommate, Robbie (Steven Eck-holdt), who has made a fortune selling pay-for-view celebrations of the Jewish High Holy Days "cm-ceed" by a rabbi. Completing the show's fivesome are Robbie's moneyed friend Shrug (Evan Handler); Lauren, a masseuseprocess server (A.J.

Langer); and Robbie's celebrity neighbor, the famously re-nosed Jennifer Grey, playing herself while being constantly asked by strangers: "Aren't you Jennifer Grey?" When you think about funny put-downs of contemporary Los Angeles, coming to mind is a scene in the 1991 movie "L.A. Story," with Steve Martin's TV weatherman having to provide a financial statement to earn a reservation at a trendy restaurant. Just as that movie could not sustain its easy ambience, "It's like, you know engages in a pursuit of stereotypes ultimately as interminable as the car chase mesmerizing its Angelenos. Initial episodes present an L.A. of beepers, horn-happy motorists, gorgeous models, Ted Baxter newscasters and general shallowness, all of which arc available in a ABC's highlights didn't extend much beyond Sunday.

The network canceled the drama "Strange World" after just three airings, as last week's episode delivered ABC's lowest rating ever in its Tuesday slot, prompting "NYPD Blue's" return to that beat sooner than expected. "Payne," a new CBS comedy starring John Lar-roquette, looked promising in a March 15 preview after "Everybody Loves Raymond," which delivered its third-biggest audience yet, but fared poorly last Wednesday, as did an original episode of "Cosby" opposite a rerun of "Dharma Greg." BRIAN LOWRY The Oscars awarded ABC the network's fourth ratings victory in 26 weeks, based on data issued Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. Although Sunday's Academy Awards, hosted by Whoopi Goldberg, didn't approach the "Titanic" rating posted a year ago (or even match tune-in for Monica Lewinsky's "2020" interview), the ceremony easily surpassed viewing from 1997, when "The English Patient" was crowned best picture. Barbara Walters, meanwhile, might want to stick with Lewinsky, as her latest star-studded Oscar special dropped almost 20 compared to its average the last two years.
