White queen to king’s bishop, black rook to I QUIT. These comically large chess sets are fun at the mall, but only because you’ve got a giant slushie. What’s the fun of chess without slushies? Or at least the possibility of a cheesesteak made by an unfriendly Hispanic woman. You give me that, I’ll play you some chess with pieces that are difficult to move. No cheesesteak? No chess.

Cove and Parkes – they’re chess cops!
From the liver-spotted hand of Aaron Spelling and produced by Quinn-Martin, makers of Barnaby Jones and Canon, comes “Cove and Parkes”, a new buddy-buddy cop drama-comedy!
Parkes is a veteran teen-age cop – tough, cynical and bitter for being passed over for promoted time after time! Now, only 32 years from retirement, Parkes is transferred to a new division in the Department: Chess Cops! And he’s forced to team up with the new kid, Cleever Clove.
Clove’s a boy genius who sped up the ranks of school and college until there was nowhere else to go! His father, the Chief of Police, is killed by an outlaw 2 minutes before retirement! Now his angry and wimpy son is out for revenge! The only way Clove knows how to reek vengence on his prey is with a badge – a Chess Cops badge!
Join Clove and Parkes each week as they get closer and closer to the killer – and each other! This fall on CBS!
promotion. Dangit!
