cop too but that his wife was killed as a result of his dogged persistence It takes the usual friendly barroom brawl between Lundy and La Mamma to clear the air Soon the twosome are appreciative of each other's strengths Interspersed with the shoot-outs and car chases there are some clever bits After La Mamma has lamented the lack of Italians in Houston he's introduced to a mechanic named

9n WBTV (channel 3) is the latest reworking of the old mismatchedpartners-overcome-obstacles to-form-working-relationship idea This time it's the pairing of a laid-back Texas detective with a high-strung Chicago cop Though It's not a fresh idea the series has potential primarily because of the two leads It could develop into the hit that CBS so desperately needs this season Michael Pare who plays the exiled Windy City cop Joseph La Flamma has cover boy good looks that mask a glowering intensity Filmgoers may recognize him as the title character from "Eddie and the Cruisers" or the heroic soldier of fortune in the cult film "Streets of Fire" Michael Beck who plays Houston police detective Le Von Lundy isn't as pretty as Pare and has a more rough-hewn appeal He also starred in a film with a large cult following "The Warriors" and was outstanding as a villainous evangelist in the NBC mini-series "Celebrity" three years ago Between them Pare and Beck have the charisma bases covered and overcome the weakness of the script If the writing improves over the special two-hour pilot "Houston Knights" ought to prosper While Lundy is investigating a murder in Houston La Mamma gets into trouble with organized crime honchos in Chicago It's decided that he'd better get out of town until things cool off so he's soon sent to Houston to participate in a special police exchange program Lundy and La Mamma don't like each other on sight The Texan prefers to take his time gently questioning and probing suspects The Chicagoan prefers a confrontational approach and is always in a hurry Assigned to investigate the death of a Houston private detective they soon stumble over some major league villains Gun-runners are selling high-powered weapons and missiles to both sides in a certain Central American war The profits are enough to ensure that the body count will be high There's additional danger for La Mamma The Chicago mobsters have learned he's hiding in Houston and have
