Following The Cosby Show on Thursdays, A Different World will inherit a massive audience used to seeing the magic talents of Michael J. Fox at that hour. But with Fox and Family Ties shifted to Sunday night this fall, look for A Different World to send millions of viewers to a diff- erent channel. My Two Dads — This sit com will follow Family Ties on Sunday night, which NBC is targeting this year in its relentless dismantling of the once-powerful CBS schedule. But My Two Dads is a goofy sort of gamble, because it takes the family comedy genre into perhaps the last possible permutation: a girl who lives with two men, both of thom might be her father. The men were once best friends, until they quarrelled over a woman in college. The woman had a baby but didn’t tell the men. Twelve years later, the woman died and left the girl to the men. Call it The Odd Couple meets The Courtship of Ed. die's Father. J.J. Starbuck — Straight. forward action drama about an eccentric Texas billionaire who cruises around America in a ‘64 Lincoln investigating crimes. Dale Robertson plays Star- buck, and though he's a long way from Death Valley Days it's a familiar neighborhood. Call it Columbo with a big hat on his head and big steer horns on his hood. ABC mini series shot at Soviet pavillion site By DAVE LANG Canadian Press VANCOUVER — Inside the shell of the old Soviet pavilion on the Expo 86 grounds, hidden from the brilliant afternoon sun, James Goldstone is standing on the bridge of television's newest spacecraft. It's called the Earth-Star Voyager, the centre-piece of a four-hour ABC mini-series of the same name to be broadcast this fall. Surrounded by computer screens and instrument pan- els with blinking multi-col- ored lights, Goldstone is giving instructions for the next shot. The tall, bearded director bends over slightly, moving his hands in a gliding motion to demonstrate how the cam- era should track the scene. SET IN 2087 The TV series is set in the year 2087, when the Earth Star Voyager and its crew set out for a distant planet that might be colonized to relieve a polluted and over crowded Earth. With Goldstone’s instruc tions complete, the cast and crew break for lunch, and the director ushers a visiting re porter outside. Goldstone stops at a catering van to collect a lunch of corned beef and buttered potatoes before leading the way to his modest trailer. For Goldstone, science fic: tion on TV is familiar ter ritory. He directed three epi- sodes of the Outer Limits an thology series, and the Star Trek pilot episode. “I had a great deal of fun 22 years ago working with (Star Trek creator) Gene Rodden. y+ JAPANESE DRUMMING ENSEMBLE Brilliant Cultural Centre Saturday, August 22 7:00 P.M. 9-0 Max Productions Presents Katari Taiko ADMISSION: Adults, $6 edvence Adults $7 Door Children & Seniors s ADVANCE TICKETS.

But it’s also more real istic in the view of Goldstone, who won an Emmy for directing the TV docu-drama Kent State. The $8-million Earth-Star production was shot inside the old Soviet and Thai pav ilions at Expo. They don't make the best soundstages, but they came cheap and provided the space necessary for the interiors of the space: craft. Other remaining Expo buildings were used for the few exterior shots in the mini-series. The Expo Centre geodesic sphere and the Plaza of Nations complex provided settings for an ar tificial asteroid appropriately named Expo Tomorrow. Despite the leaky roofs of the Expo structures, the amiable Goldstone was happy about shooting in Vancouver. “Wonderful crew, lovely city, lovely attitude,” he said between mouthfulls of lunch, washed down with a can of Dr. Pepper. SOME CANADIAN Vancouver has also pro- vided some of the key actors in the TV show, including Margaret Langrick, 16. She starred in the current movie Harry and the Hendersons and was featured in Sandy Wilson's Genie-winning film My American Cousin. Another member of the Earth-Star crew is Jason Michas, who plays a 15-year old computer whiz. Michas has been a semi-regular on the CBC’s Danger Bay. The Earth-Star's captain is portrayed by Brian McNam ara, who recently appeared in the film Short Circuit Other cast members include Julie Montgomery, Peter Donat and Duncan Regehr. Goldstone said he enjoys science fiction, but won't hang around if Earth-Star becomes a continuing series.
