And Lew Erlicht, ABC's ‘entertainment president, thinks the only way to catch up is to take the high road. It was the network’s worst season in a decade. The ABC audience slipped by almost 10 per cent — an enormous shift, even by mercurial U.S. television standards. Worst, the trouble came just as NBC. was suddenly ‘rejuvenated, sending ABC to the cellar among the three U.S. networks. Erlicht, the man most responsible for ABC's sagging state of affairs, offers blunt criticism of ABC’s many miseries and seeks few excuses. “It's simple,” he says. “Our programming was not as good as the competition's.” . ss Exactly how so? “Our tendency before was to go for glitz,” he says. “What we've learned in the past year is that glitz is bad.” What he's also learned is that creative people should be allowed to create and producers produce. ABC has ticked off many of TV's finest behind-the-scenes talents. It has a reputation for unparalleled interference that Erlicht now desperately wants to shed. ADMITS ERROR Of the criticism levelled by producers at the network, he says: “It was well-founded. We were wrong. We were too heavy-handed. We were far too involved. We are taking pains to ensure this is. changing.” The difficulty is. in walking that fine line between influence and interference. Another problem, as Erlicht sees it, is that networks often try massive changes when minor tinkering is needed. > ‘The programming chief proudly proclaims his new attitude on his involvement in the creative process. “It doesn’t mean that you're not entitled to an opinion, but it means you're not entitled to force your opinion on A FINE ART...

Some of ABC's mini-series now run longer than its series. It's fortunate he’s being more patient, because at first glance, what ABC has in store this fall will need some fine-tuning. The two most probable successes are glossy adventure series — one about a detective, the other about an insurance investigator. See WAGNER RETURNS High hopes are pinned on Spenser: For Hire, starring Robert Urich as an ex-boxer ‘sleuth who quotes Tennyson, based on the deftly written series of Spenser detective novels by Robert Parker. AndRobert Wagner is coming back to TV as an insurance investigator in Lime Street. Wagner is enor- mously popular with TV audiences. Erlicht has more modest aspirations for Dynasty II: The Colbys. Even thought it’s a spin-off from TV's hottest series, he doesn’t expect Dynasy II will unseat CBS's Simon and Simon as the No. 1 program in its Thursday night slot when it makes its debut in November. , Two shows fall into the maybe category. One is a drama about mob and police families called Our Family Honor, and the other is a situation comedy about working parents called Growing Pains, which stars Canadian Alan Thicke. STARS CANADIAN Less certain to succeed are two Miami Vice derivations. Hollywood Beat, which promises to be more intention: ally funny than its pilot episode, isn't up against much competition in its Saturday slot, so it may survive. The Insiders, about two action-crazed journalists; stars Canadian Nick Campbell, and is in tough competition against NBC's Highway to Heaven on Wednesdays. But it is the lead-in to Dynasty and may have an audience because of that. A big question mark is Lady Blue, a proudly violent cop show featuring Jamie Rose, who is already being called Dirty Harriette for her Clint Eastwood-style portrayal. It occupies the time slot Dynasty II will move into in November.

Two men died ina fire that police suspect was caused by arson and Tuesday a 35-year-old man was found murdered in the basement. of a home. But, criminologist Ezzat Fattah said the city is just behaving “in a normal fashion.” Fattah, who teaches at Simon Fraser University, said Vancouver is the centre of the province with “the highest crime rate of any province, the highest divorce rate, the highest alcohol and drug abuse rate and highest suicide rate.” { He said the West Coast with its “fun lifestyle” attracts more than its fair share of transients. This year's homicide rate now stands unofficially at 25 — compared with 24 for the whole of last year outstripping both Toronto and Montreal.

NEW WESTMINSTER (CP) — Aaron Harold Fursse- . don, 15, of nearby Surrey, was killed Tuesday night when he was struck by an advanced light rapid transit train as he and a companion trespassed on the tracks. Police said the other 15-year-old was not injured. The youths climbed up on the ALRT’s elevated guide- way, undetected by the system's security system, police said. Furssedon was struck by a train on a test run and was thrown about 12 metres into an electrical substation. The ALRT, which connects New Westminster with Vancouver, will not open to the public until early 1986. - YOUTH REMANDED PRINCE RUPERT (CP) — Darren Thomas Smith, 23, was remanded in custody to Dec. 9 when he appeared in provincial court Tuesday charged with second-degree murder.

Bennett's body was taken to Vancouver by RCMP for an autopsy.

Driver Eugene Wilson Sharp, 82, of Ontario, Ore., and passenger Morris McDonald Sharp, 72, of Beaverton, were killed when their vehicle went out of control Monday and _. struck a concrete abutment on the opposite side of the road. Neither man was wearing a seat belt. A coroner's inquiry will be held, police said.
