High Anxiety (KTLA Sunday at 6 p.m.), Mel Brooks’ 1977 comedy in the form of a very respectful bow to Alfred Hitchcock, is funniest when it’s nearest the master. Brooks also stars.

In the frothy but likable Three Men and a Baby (NBC Sunday at 9 p.m.), the popular 1987 Americanization of Colline Serreau’s French hit “Three Men and a Cradle,” three swinging New York bachelors----Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson--cope with an adorable baby left at the door of their splendiferous Manhattan pad.

For all its good liberalism, the Robert Redford-directed 1988 The Milagro Beanfield War (KTLA Monday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 6 p.m.) hasn’t progressed much further than Frank Caprasville. It centers on an impoverished young husband and father (Chick Vennera) defying a big-time New Mexico developer intent on exploiting his land and that of his neighbor’s.

The 1987 hit Lethal Weapon (NBC Monday at 9 p.m.) is a big, shallow, flashy buddy-buddy cop thriller redeemed by Mel Gibson in the title role as a suicidal L.A. cop (Danny Glover is his apoplectic partner). Careening through the movie, Gibson generates an authentic sense of unpredictability and danger.

The 1988 cop thriller that launched martial arts star Steven Seagal, Above the Law (CBS Tuesday at 9 p.m.) is something of a standoff: good in its excitingly grimy Chicago atmosphere and terse, hard-bitten energy.

Middle Age Crazy (KTLA Wednesday at 8 p.m.), a funny yet compassionate and incisive 1980 comedy that spans three generations, stars Bruce Dern as a Houston contractor for whom turning 40 is a painful milestone.

Robert Altman’s 1976 Buffalo Bill and the Indians (KTLA Friday at 8 p.m.), an alternately pretentious and tedious parable on the disgraceful treatment of Native Americans by whites, demythologizes Buffalo Bill (Paul Newman).
