Remote patrol

In this repeat of a "Candid Camera" that aired earlier this year, the TV show played a trick on one group of people you can't afford to annoy: TV critics. At a recent press enclave individual critics checked into the hotel only to be assigned a room with no TV set in it. Then the cameras waited for the critic to pick up the phone and call the front desk. Fortunately for Peter Funt (left, with co-host Suzanne Somers) and company, the results were a hit with critics; you'll see them at 7:30 tonight on Channel 5. At 10:35 p.m. on Channel 5, the last of a fortnight of "Late Show With David Letterman" repeats. Dave returns from vacation Monday and, gee, I wonder what he'll talk about?
