Walz Poorly written and badly acted, CBS' "Simon and Simon" detective offering doesn't stand a chance to suc­ ceed against the likes of NBC's promising "Father Mur­ phy" and ABC stalwarts "Happy Days" and "Laverne and Shirley." What's even a bigger crime here, is the fact that a gifted actor, Jameson Parker, is caught up in a program which could do more damage to his career than he realizes. Parker and newcomer Gerald McRaney headline as A.J. and Rick Simon, two brothers with diverse per­ sonalities--A.J. being the cool,, calm and collected type and Rick the raucous womanizer, who specialize in undercover investigations in San Diego. Problem is, they have very little money to work with and must constantly compete with Myron Fowler's (played by Eddie Barth) agency for work. Fowler's daughter, Janet, toils for the Simon boys because she thinks they're "cute" and can help her prepare for her law career. The curvaceous Janet, who is played by Jeannie Wilson, has more brains than the whole bunch of them. The Simon boys are always in some kind of trouble, bending the law as much as possible without breaking it. There are instances when you start to wonder which side these guys are on. The problem here is that there is no depth to the characters, only a thin veneer. The shenanigans they become embroiled in, are so tired and predictable it almost becomes annoying. It's a tired con­ cept which shows no pulse. Part of the reason can be traced to the fact that Universal TV is doing the show for CBS. During the past three years, Universal has given us "BJ and the Bear," "Sheriff Lobo," "Magnum, P.I." and "Shannon." How much can one digest? The viewers at home aren't that stupid not to notice the similar plotlines, disguised only by their new and sometimes exotic locales.
