Oh 'Flipper', By STACY JENEL SMITH TRIBUNE. MEDIA SERVICES Would you please answer a question that my family has argued about many times? Was Flipper a dolphin or a porpoise? Elizabeth West Caldwell, N.J. No "porpoise" to all the quarreling "Flipper" was played by a dolphin named Suzy. A The new fall shows have been announced, and for once there's no Robert Urich series among them! What is Urich up to? Lisa Orlando, Fla. He's making a series for TNT called "The Lazarus Man," set, in the 1880s in a small Texas town.
The skein will kick off with a "Lazarus Man" telepic early next year. In it, Urich plays a man who literally rises from a grave in which he's been buried alive with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Urich, a veteran of 11 series, told me a few months ago that he was tired of the series scene. He said he could rarely pick up a TV script without getting an immediate sense of "been there, done that" and that he intended to hold out for something better. We'll see whether "Lazarus" really does come alive.

I seem to remember that in "Mag. num, p.i.'s" final episode it was revealed that Higgins was actually Robin Masters. Am I wrong? Diane' Yorktown Heights, N.Y. The possibility was definitely put forth that Higgins (John Hillerman), the stuffy manservant with whom Magnum (Tom Selleck) had to contend, was in fact Masters, the mysterious writer who owned the Oahu, Hawaii, estate where they lived. However, there was much ambiguity deliberately built into the "revelation," leaving viewers with the question, "Is he, or isn't he?"
