'Love, Sidney'best of new comedies

By FRED ROTHENBERG AF Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) - By default and by merit, Tony Randall’s “Love, Sidney” is the best new comedy of the season. The competition didn’t prove too difficult since this has not been a great TV season for merriment. Such new shows as “Maggie” on ABC (now canceled), “Mr. Merlin” on CBS and “Gimme a Break” on NBC are typical of what television tries to pass off as comedy. Without the laugh track, no one would know when to laugh. But “Love, Sidney,” on NBC tonight, is humor with a heart, a well-written blend of intelligent, topical comedy and affectionate “family” relationships. Again, Randall has been thrust into a living situation that isn’t Ozzie and Harriet. In “The Odd Couple,” for which Randall won an Emmy award in 1975, Felix Unger was the fastidious fuddy-duddy who couldn’t live with women. He was too neat and overbearing, according to the wife who divorced him, so he wound up with the slovenly Oscar Madison (Jack Klugman) to share a New York apartment. In “Love, Sidney,” if women would have him, he’ll just pass. In the pilot for the TV series, Sidney Shorr was a homosexual. In the series, his lust for family is satisfied by opening his New York apartment to Laurie Morgan (Swoosie Kurtz) and her young daughter. Patti (Kaleena Kiss). Sidney’s sexual bent is never stated TV hasn’t fully come out of the

closet on this issue but subtle reminders are dropped from time to time. Last week, Laurie’s father mocked Sidney’s masculinity and offered him a pink lady cocktail. Tonight, when Sidney triumphed over a back-stabbing Madison Avenue type, he said: “I felt almost macho.” But this is not a series about homosexuality; it’s about real relationships. Sidney’s sexual preference merely explains his living arrangement. The show is about three people who care deeply about each other and offer companionship and friendship as buffers against the outside world. Miss Kurtz, 1981 Tony-award winner in “Fifth of July,” is a perfect match for Randall. Lorna Patterson (now starring in CBS’ lackluster “Private Benjamin”) was Laurie in the movie that inspired “Love, Sidney,” and she wasn’t easy to follow. Miss Patterson was zanier but Miss Kurtz gives Laurie more strength and dignity. She has excellent comic sense and can stand up to Randall, even when he overdramatizes and makes Sidney more of a whiner than he has to be. Miss Kurtz’ Broadway background reflects the fact that “Love, Sidney,” which is filmed in New York, has more of a stage feel than straight Hollywood television. Give the credit to Randall. He has artistic control, and he’s helped make “Love, Sidney” the top-rated new series through the first two months of the new season.
