The New Shows

Crime Photographer (alternate Thurs. 10:30 p.m., CBS-TV), after an eight-year stretch as a radio cops & robbers show, moves to television without leaving a single clue or cliche behind. News Photographer Casey, as played by Richard Carlyle, wears his hat on the back of his head, is a devil with the ladies, and is only halted in his headlong pursuit of justice by a hush-voiced announcer breathing: "Don't be half-safe, use Arrid!"

The Henry Morgan Show (Fri. 9:30 p.m., NBCTV) began three months ago as a take-off on TV amateur hours. Last week, abandoning such zany performers as talking dogs, stilt-walkers and bicep-dancers, Morgan introduced a new series of uneven but fresh TV sketches. The best of them showed Morgan suffering through a friend's home movies and Morgan as a TV newscaster being confused by four wall clocks (for Paris, London, Algiers and McKeesport). The commercials, animated cartoons for Campbell's Soup, are self-consciously cute.
