RETURN TO LONESOME DOVE - Fresh from its three-night stand on TV comes this sprawling, commendable sequel to the acclaimed "Lonesome Dove," with further adventures of Capt. Woodrow Call and his transplanted Texans. Mostly new faces fill the cast and some new characters have been added. Jon Voight replaces Tommy Lee Jones as Call and Barbara Hershey replaces Anjelica Huston as homesteader Clara Allen, and they bring a lot to their roles. Rick Shroeder, as Newt, is the only major holdover. "Return" stands well on its own but should not be compared to the original, which stands alone. (Cabin Fever, $99.95.)
