Checkmate (CBS) shows promise of becoming one of TV's better private-eye series, is slickly and expertly tooled (moving tree shadows, sudden screams), and uses its one-hour format to advantage by tossing in three detectives instead of the more usual single eye.

...wisdom, gold for prophecy. And the window itself is an intricate design of symbols whirring through the cosmos. To the left are the glowing symbols of the Eternal Light, the Flames of the Burning Bush, and the twelve tribes of Israel. In the center is the Tree of Life crowned by the seven branches of the Light of God. The Jewish symbol of the palm becomes a kind of ladder made up of the Hebrew character "shin," the first letter in one of the words for God.

A drunkard tipsily shows off his strength by weight-lifting a barrel; two men get happily looped on a sake binge; a maiden frowns over a sour note she has struck while tuning her samisen; a ragged little urchin sits perched in a tree while majestic Mount Fuji soars incongruously in the distance. Under Hokusai's brush, Japan emerges as more than a floating land of stylized ritual: he had learned the secret he did not expect to know until he was no, when "every dot and every line from my brush will...
