MONO, FRIDAY. 60... © p.m. 1 UMOAY & ROUDAYS Liz Walker, 36, who has been WBZ:TV's evening news anchor since 1981, dis closed her pregnancy in June but has refused further in- terviews. “She just doesn't care to talk about it anymore,” Liz Klein, her assistant at WBZ- TV, said recently. “It's a private matter and she wants some privacy,” The News of Walker's Pregnancy caused a small sensation around Boston. One newspaper ran a front- page story about Walker, one of the highest-paid black women in broadcasting witn a salary Sestimated at $500,000 US, and included an article on the trend towards unwed celebrity-mothers. Columnists have both praised Walker for her cour- age and chastised her for providing a poor role-model to teenagers, particularly young black women. However, Stan Hopkins, the station’s news director, said: “Viewers have written in about the situation and they are Anchorwoman pregnant level in’ her,” Hopkins told Broadcasting magazine, an industry journal Hopkins. said the station's news ratings have not been affected ,one way or the other. “They have remained flat, except for, thet summertime dip in viewer levels,” he said. “But “that happens to everyone.

Between “Highway to Heaven” and the popular ABC , this series is an early candidate for axing. © “Hooperman” (ABC). John Ritter plays a San Francisco detective who inherits an old apartment building in this comedy-drama from “L.A. Law“ creators Steven Bochco and Terry Louise Fisher. The pilot is well-written and Ritter plays it with just the right touch of ironic humor and pathos. This is one of the most promising new shows. © “The ‘Slap’ Maxwell* (ABC). Despite protestations from series star Dabney Coleman to the contrary, this is a slightly softened “Buffalo Bill.” That said, it's also quite hilarious. Slap Maxwell is a Midwestern sportswriter with a habit of annoying people and attracting lawsuits. Megan Gallagher plays the secretary he's chasing and Susan Anspach plays his ex-wife. Creator Jay Tarses is at the top of his form: Audiences seem ready now for a less-than-entirely-likable character. LL TV PREVIEW oe “A Year in the Life” (NBC). This series begins where last season's miniseries left off. The cast, headed by Richard Kiley as a Seattle plastics manufacturer, returns in this realistic drama from “St. Elsewhere” creators Joshua Brand and John Falsey. Opposite the new ABC comedies and the much ballyhooed final season of “Magnum, P.I.," however, it may be more accurate to label this show “13 Weeks in the Life.” THURSDAY The Thursday-night battle for viewers will be the most closely watched of the season. CBS is bringing out the big guns in its fight with NBC's “Cosby Show.” In fact, CBS has called in the entire Vietnam War experience to draw viewers away from “Cosby” and its spinoff, “A Different World.” ABC, in the bonehead move of the year, has canceled the much-admired but low-rated ‘Our World” and may get even lower ratings with its double bill of “Sledge Hammer!” and “The Charmings.” © “Tour of Duty” (CBS). This is television's first effort to deal with Vietnam in a weekly series. Terence Knox (“St. Elsewhere”) stars as the veteran sergeant who leads a platoon of infantrymen through the jungles of Southeast Asia. It’s graphically violent for an early-even- ing show, and the producers promise an unflinching view of life for the “grunts” in Vietnam, including deaths of regulars. “A Different World” (NBC). Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) is now at Hillman College with two funny roommates played by Dawnn Lewis and Marisa Tomei. Anne Beatts (“Square Pegs”) was brought in as producer, so the bland pilot episode may not accurately reflect the tone of the series. e “WISEGUY™ (CBS). A deepcover cop (Ken Wahl) is placed smack in the middle of an Atlantic City organized crime family. One of the grittiest shows every produced by Stephen J. Cannell, it has a difficult time slot opposite the revitalized “Cheers” (with Kirstie Alley) and ABC's Thursday movie. FRIDAY Younger audiences will split between “Max Headroom” and a now-stale “Miami Vice,” leaving “Dallas” a winner. “Falcon Crest” takes the later hour opposite the newly shifted “20/20" and “Private Eye,” NBC's expensive but unp private ive show Much more interesting from a competitive standpoint is the first hour, pitting two new ABC comedies opposite an unusual fantasy, CBS's “Beauty and the Beast” and NBC's “Rags to Riches.” © “Beauty and the Beast” (CBS). This elegant, sumptuously scored fantasy is about a corporate lawyer DOLLY'S BACK . . . ABC hopes to re a long- dormant TV Cay with * ‘Dolly’ a ove-hour variety show hosted by Dolly Parton. y Barbora Babcock and Jerry Orbach of “The low and Harry McGraw”. “Frank's Place” on CBS stars the Reids, Tim and Daphne. (Linda Hamilton) saved from death by a kind, hirsuite mutant (Ron Perlman) who lives in a subterranean world beneath New York City. The notion of a well-executed contemporized fable may be offbeat enough to attract attention, as long as the producers avoid the chase-and. rescue motif. “Full House” (ABC). Yet another show about men raising children. This time, it’s widower Bob Saget who asks buddies John Stamos and David Coulier to move in and help with his three daughters. Coulier’s sound effects and impressions provide the only amusing moments. e “I Married Dora” (ABC). As one wag has already pointed out, this is the only show on the fall schedule whose premise revolves around a felony. Daniel Hugh Kelly (“Hardcastle and McCormick") plays an architect who marries his Central American housekeeper (Eliz- abeth Pena) to keep her from being deported. Opposite the last half of two one-hour shows, its success is dubious. © “Private Eye” (NBC). Produced by “Miami Vice” creator Anthony Yerkovich, this series takes the hard-boiled, Chandleresque detective genre down the “Crime Story” route of flashy cars, gritty atmosphere, period music and gangland shootouts. Michael Woods plays a cop-turned-private eye in 1956 Los Angeles; Josh Brolin is a ducktailed street huster. With luck and a little of what Yerkovich calls “heightened reality,” “Private Eye” will inherit the “Vice” audience and survive. SATURDAY After eight years, NBC's “Facts of Life” may finally meet its demise when it meets “Frank's Place,” a highly promising CBS show. ABC offers a strange super-hero series as weak competition. All of NBC's successful lineup remains inlact and ABC moves a fading “Hotel” to Saturday @ “Once a Hero” (ABC). Jeff Lester stars as a comic-book hero who, learning that kids aren't reading him anymore, travels to Earth from his fantasy world, meets his creator (Milo O'Shea) and is chased by a Bogart-type fellow fantasy dweller named Gumshoe. It's a bizarre series premise that adults will quickly reject but children may find entertaining e “Frank's Place” (CBS). This is the first colla. boration since “WKRP” for star Tim Reid and creator Hugh Wilson. Reid plays a New England professor who inherits his father’s New Orleans restaurant and stays on to run the operation. Reid’s wife Daphne Maxwell Reid plays a mortician in the ensemble cast. “Frank's Place” is a textbook example of good writing, understated playing and direction that lets strong material breathe. A winner. e “Leg Work” (CBS). Margaret Colin (“Foley Square") plays a novice New York City private investi gator. She likes the work and she likes her Porsche, but a steady income seems to elude her. An average detective series, but Colin's winning personality keeps the hour buoyant.

This new improved VHS has increased lines of resolution to 430, compared with about 230 on current VHS. The new machines are trickling into the U.S. market at steep prices of $1,100 US and up. Blank Super tapes, at $20 US for two hours, are also considerably more expensive. Consumers should be aware of other concerns. First, the new system is only semi-compatible with current VHS. VHS plays in either system, but Super tapes play only in Super decks. There are few if any pre-recorded movies available on Super, which also requires a TV monitor of commensurate quality to be fully appreciated. For now, the new system is of interest mainly to hard-core video obsessives. VCRs POPULAR About half the homes in Canada now have a video- cassette recorder, and indications are that VCRs are con- tinuing to grow in popylarity. Figures gathered by the "AC. Nielsen Co. of Canada Ltd. suggest that 47 per cent of Canadian homes had a VCR lat March, a 10-per-cent increase from the same time a year earlier and a 23-per-cent increase from March 1985. The figures, reported by the Canadian Cable Television Association, also suggest that the Sydney-Glace Bay region of Nova Scotia has taken over from Medicine Hat, Alta., the VCR capital of Canada. About 56 per cent of homes in the Nova Scotian market had VCRs, a total that may be linked to an aggressive sales effort launched by a local entrepreneur and a local movie rental price war. Figures also suggest that pay TV channels are lagging in the video game. The cable TV group says “the penetration rate of discretionary cable television services is nearly 2'/ times lower than that of videocassette recorders and repre- sents 20. per cent of cable households.” Off-the-wall videos continue to hit the shelves, including this list of goofies seen by USA Today at a recent convention of software dealers in Las Vegas: e The Rowing Machine Companion: when your rowing machine bores you to tears, flip this tape on and watch a real rower skimming across a real lake. ‘e Assault of.the Killer Bimbos: an action extravaganza about blonde women who refuse to let men walk all over them. ¢ Video Dog: designed for urban apartment dwellers, it lets you switch Fido on when you want him and off when you get tired of him.
