I'd have gone with “Freaks and Greeks" but NBC settled for “Jason and the Argonauts” (8 pm Sunday and Monday) Whether you want to settle in for two nights with Jason & Co is entirely up to you Personally I'd like a refund oo my four hours The unchallenged maestro of the miniseries Robert Halmi Sr has produced much of the brightest and a quite a bit of the dimmest the networks have offered in the past five years from the gleaming “Gulliver’s Travels" “The Odyssey" “Alice in Wonderland" and last : week's ‘‘Arabian Nights” to the ghastly “Noah’s Ark” “Cleopatra" and “The 10th v Kingdom’’ His latest doesn't quite make it into the latter category where you’re likely to find yourself laughing in all the wrong places In fact there' were moments as I sat numbly before “Jason” and hoped for a spark of feeling intelligence drama — anything — that 1 didn't think I’d ever laugh again You’re not expecting me to repeat the story are you? Oh all right It’s about a prince (Jason London) whose father is murdered by a vile grasping uncle (Dennis Hopper) and who instead of making a lot of speeches about it like BEETLE BAILEY : creepy piece of work with black curls plastered all over his head like dried kelp I suppose Halmi will just keep making these epics until he runs out of time or money He’s certainly not going to run out of stories world literature’s got a million of 'em Four hours of "Medea" anyone? SHORTTAKES ” I’m not sure what to make of “Geppetto” (6 pm Sunday ABC) an unnecessary but not unpleasant odd but not awful musical in which an unbelievably sincere Drew Carey trills his way through the role of the kindly puppeteer who gives birth sort of to a little wooden son ' named Pinocchio Carey’s voice will do if actual tenors are in short supply and Julia does a hilarious turn as the Blue Fairy Cate De Angelo (Mary-LouiParker) is sad to belong to someone else when the right one comes along but she gets over it in about a minute Before you can say “So long sucker” she’s ditched Mr Wrong and is happily hitched to Mr Right (Peter Gallagher):V But then : A romantic comedy turned “Cupid & Cate” (8 pm Sunday CBS) isn’t great at either one Only the charm of the two Louis-Dreyf- us se ' - near-trage- dy leads and the pleasing presence of Bebe Hamlet sails off in search of the Golden Fleece which he eventually finds but not with- out getting many of his friends killed and stirring up quite a few things better left unstirred !
