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. --Lauren--

Can't wait to find out. From the summaries, it sounds like mysterious ex-policeman runs around on heavily computerized (with *HOLLYWOOD* brand software) very fast jet-propelled.... motorcycle. Just let me at him. I want to see what button he presses when I throw Quaker State's finest Winter-Summer formula under his wheels. I imagine it is the "Call Hospital Quick" toggle...

I believe Gretchen Corbett was the one who played Jim Rockford's female lawyer Beth Davenport on "The Rockford Files". -- "And now here is a reminder about fallout warnings." Allyn Hardyck ..!ucbvax!allynh allynh@ucbvax.ARPA

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*.
