The Danger of Love (CBS Sunday at 9 p.m.) is the second TV movie version of the story of Carolyn Warmus; it is a trashy 1992 production about a schoolteacher bumping off the wife of her lover.

Writer-director Heywood Gould’s 1991 One Good Cop (KTLA Monday at 8 p.m.) plays like a mix of “Hill Street Blues,” “Kindergarten Cop” and “Kramer vs. Kramer.” In its own way it hammerlocks you into an emotional response. Michael Keaton stars as a New York police detective whose widowed partner is killed in a shootout, leaving Keaton the legal guardian of his three daughters. However, adoption agents don’t feel he and his wife (Rene Russo) make enough money to be fit providers.

The 1991 Deceived (KABC Monday at 9 p.m.) stars Goldie Hawn as a wife of six years to John Heard, who turns out to be not quite what he seemed. The trouble is that we catch on lots earlier than she does.

The Tower (KTTV Tuesday at 8 p.m.) is a stylish 1993 TV action flick with a futuristic sheen. It stars Paul Reiser and Susan Norman, a romantic and humorous duo, as office workers pitted against a diabolical mainframe computer.

Twins (KTLA Thursday at 8 p.m.), an overblown, self-destructing 1988 comedy-thriller, wastes Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito as fraternal twins separated at birth.

The immensely popular 1986 Crocodile Dundee (KCOP Friday at 8 p.m.) stars Paul Hogan in the title role as a resourceful tour guide in the Australian outback who winds up in adventure and romance in New York.

The outstanding 1988 Stand and Deliver (KCOP Saturday at 9 p.m.) stars Edward James Olmos as Garfield High’s mesmerizing calculus teacher Jaime Escalante. Olmos galvanizes a group of almost-dropouts, giving them pride in themselves and showing the road to earning it.

KCET’s Saturday-night double feature teams two of Hollywood’s best 1953 adventure films: John Ford’s Mogambo (9 p.m.) and Anthony Mann’s Thunder Bay (11 p.m.)
