WEEKEND TV : Poll Talk and a New ‘Wiseguy’
There will be plenty of talk about California’s new governor to-be and other election results on the small screen this weekend. But there’s also a new “Wiseguy,” a new Japanese emperor and finally the identity of the killer of Laura Palmer.
The new “Wiseguy” is Steven Bauer as the CBS (2)(8) series that once starred Ken Wahl returns for another season tonight at 9 p.m. The two-hour premiere also stars Maximilian Schell and pop singer Martika.
ABC (7)(3)(10)(42) will compete with its own wiseguy, David Lynch, the eccentric director who both directs and stars in tonight’s 10 p.m. episode of “Twin Peaks,” in which the network promises to reveal the murderer of Palmer.
And Sunday at 7:45 p.m., KSCI Channel 18 will televise live the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Akihito as the 125th emperor of Japan. Heads of state and dignitaries from 150 countries including Vice President Quayle and England’s Prince Charles are expected in Tokyo for the event.
