More ‘Heat’: CBS has renewed Carroll O’Connor’s “In the Heat of the Night” for a second season, which will be the series’ seventh overall (it debuted on NBC in 1988). But co-star Howard Rollins, whose problems with drug addiction are well known, has reportedly been written out of the first few episodes--a result of a Georgia warrant that seeks Rollins’ arrest for alleged parole violations. O’Connor, however, reportedly wants Rollins back on the show as soon as possible--but after he resolves his legal problems.
