'FT-1 if Thursday, February 27, 1986 EQ San Francisco Examiner I Michael Dougan Television 1 11 1 (. i ii Jack Klugman Not all that happy when his teen-age son moves in after a seven-year separation vorced father whose comfortably solitary lifestyle is demolished hen his teen age son, Matthew (John Stamost, moves in after a seven year estrangement. They become rcacquainied in an atmo-f i of civil hostility. A dramatic tension is implicit ithin their relationship, and from this the humor -springs. At least, that's what the Titers have In mind.

The show, to be kind, needs work. Tonight's opener, airing at 8:30 p.m. on Channel 4, is a "sneak preview" to entice a potential audience before the series debuts in its regular 8 p.m. Monday time slot next week. But this episode is set some time after the kid returns to papa's arms, and the audience may not understand the story setup.

That, presumably, will be seen Monday, though a spokesman atTaft Entertainment, where the show is produced, could not say for sure. "NBC is still messing around with it," he explained. "You Again?" contains potential- "You Again?" aims at a more honest portrayal of problems far where on network TV. Tonight's show concerns the apparent pregnancy of Matthew's punk girl- friend. The writers chicken out In the final scene, Injecting a twist that softens the concept, but at least' they took a stab at it.

That, too, makes "You Again?" attractive. But Klugman must restrain his performance if his character is to -be believed. And improvements in the riting arc called for. Too many ostensibly funny lines spring from the animosity between these two characters, locking the show into a single, and potentially damn- ing, dimension. "You Again?" could evolve into a genuinely entertaining comedy.

The question is whether viewers will give it the time it needs, and if its creators will rise to the call. But as it stands now, "You Again?" is not apt to reappear on NBC's fall schedule. spring from love, and Willows obviously adores his kid, though he's loath to admit It. Matthew reveals that he knows he was conceived before his parents were married: "I'm a love child." Willows replies: "There as nothing lovable about you." Later, Matthew asks for a hug. "You're supposed to hug your children," he tells his dad.

"Who says?" snaps Willows. "Psychiatrists," Matthew explains. "They think it's a good idea." "Fine," Willows retorts. 'Then let them hug you." Are you laughing yet? fcrs from an overdose of earnestness. Everyone on this show is trying so hard it hurts.

At times, their enthusiasm resonates with desperation. They must make this show work. It has got lo be funny. This is especially true of Klugman, a talented veteran ith two hit series Odd Couple" and under his belt Klugman Injects excess energy into his lines, crushing the subtlety that could make them work. (It's a style he perfected In those other shows, where hysterical behavior made a modicum of sense; here it's simply distracting.) Stamos plays his part in a lower key, ith some success.

1 lis Matthew is an easy going, unpretentious fellow who gently tolerates the old man's histrionics. Matthew possesses the one quality that greater sitcom characters falo Bill" comes to mind) died for lacking likability. More interesting and amusing than either of these chaps is Enid Thompson, Willows' English maid. Thompson is portrayed by Elizabeth Bennett, who filled the same role in the British original. Bennett's familiarity with the character is evident; she's far more comfortable as Enid than are her co-stars in their new, and still a wk-w ard, personac.

ly rich elements, including the basic premise. In an era of renewed enthusiasm for family sitcoms all, like "The Cosby Show," simply hip versions of "Father Knows Best" it's refreshing to see someone turn the concept on its ear by injecting real resentment into the living room. Willows is clearly ambiguous toward his offspring. He is still stinging from the day, which he describes in an opening narration: "My ife ran off with another guy and my son, Matthew, decided to go ith her." This kind of bitterness can only Come again? JACK KLUGMAN'S new comedy, "You stumbles out of the starting gate tonight with an episode likely to conf use some viewers and enchant none. Based on the hit British series "Home to Hoost," "You Again?" concerns Henry Willows, a di I Marilyn Beck Hollywood BAV AREA MOVIE GUDEDB Titles nd Showtimes Subject To Change.

He says he'll never make the mistake he allowed himself to make last year when he played a man younger than his age in the "Space" miniseries.

"I'm not that young and it was obvious," he says. He reports it was also a pain trying to disguise that fact.

He first played a heart to the ace and ruffed a heart.

Then, after cashing the ace and king of diamonds, he ruffed another heart. The A-K of clubs were played next, two spades being discarded from dummy. Now a club was ruffed. The eight of hearts was then led from dummy, and when East showed out, South discarded one of his tow spade losers. West won, of course, but had to return a heart or a club.

This permitted declarer to ruff in dummy as the other spade loser was discarded. So the slam was made. The end result was due to careful planning. The discard of the loser on the loser had to be timed so that the North and South hands had no hearts or clubs left after the eight of hearts was led. Declarer followed the only feasible line of play to avoid what ap-.

peared at first to be sure defeat. The heart trick he lost unnecessarily proved to be a very good investment. The two spade losers disappeared. B. Jay and Steve Becker TEENAGE DESSERT REGENCY CINEMAS 550 Contra Costa Blvd.

One of the neatest forms of an end play is the one known as the "loser on loser." The play becomes possible when declarer, who has two tricks to lose, is able to find a way of telescoping the two losers into one. The final contract turned out to be a poor one, though it can be said in extenuation that the A-K of clubs facing a void was an unfortunate duplication of values.

A spade was opened, and when East played the 10, the indications were strong that West had led a singleton. Declarer won with the ace and noted there were two spade losers, which meant the contract would be defeated unless one of them could be salvaged. The only information available at this point was that West had bid a heart and probably had opened a singleton spade.
