Since Skid is a race car driver, he's allowed to manhandle more machinery than the "Dukes of Haz- zard." ABC unveils two 'high-concept' series Coohport can Civil Liberties Union. If Keith is Batman, then his Robin is Daniel Hugh-Kelly, the former soap-opera star who plays Mark "Skid" McCormick. He's an ex-con who faces jail on a minor parole violation, until Hardcastle offers him a Fair but that doesn't prevent the judge from dispensing, now ex-camera, his unique brand of jurisprudence. Hardcastle has declared war on every desperado who got off on a legal technicality, lack of evidence or poorly prepared prosecution cases.

The plan is to nail for their current crimes the guys who slipped through the legal cracks. This show will not be endorsed by the Ameri- SEPTEMBER and stereotypical. Katherme's male secretary is catty. George's ex-teammate, Peanut Butter Bu-kowski. is Polish, brutish and foolish.

Into this situation walks Webster, the son of George's best friend. Webster's parents died in a car accident, leaving George, as godfather, to raise the child. Katherine balks, but Is won over by Webster's terminal cuteness. In one shameless scene, Webster, upset because Katherine rejects him, runs away. George finds him sitting alone with his teddy bear in Chicago's Soldier Field.

Violins are playing sweetly in the background. The only trick they missed was that they weren't playing "Ebony Ivory." The cute one In "Hardcastle McCormick" is Brian Keith, the venerable actor who is much better than his material. Keith plays the eccentric Judge Milton C. Hardcastle, who wears shorts and Hawaiian print shirts under his robes. For enjoyment, he shoots wads of paper into baskets, winks a lot and rarely acts his age.

"THI BO SLOAN BAND" THE EC By RED ROTH EN BERG AP Tleviiion Writer NEW YORK (AP) The current pet phrase in Hollywood is "high concept." Television executives, when they're not "doing lunch," are constantly searching for high-concept programs. These are shows that, a re so undemanding that they don't. have to be explained to preschoolers or network programmers. -High-concept programs, for the most part, are anti-intellectual, devoid of subtlety and nuance and so blatantly broad in their characterizations that they become offensive.

may think this also defines today's family sitcoms and burning-rubber series, and they wouldn't be wrong.
