The Buffalo Bills’ one-point loss to the New York Giants on Sunday was the most watched show on U.S, television last week, ABC's pre-game and post-game coverage ranked second and third, respectively. But of all the Super Bowls, the 1991 pro football game ranked 17th in TV rating popularity. The 20-19 game earned a 41.8 average, according to figures released Tuesday by the A.C. Nielsen Co. Each ratings point represent 931,000 homes. The highest rated NFL champion- ship game was 1982's Super Bowl, when the San Francisco 49ers beat the Cincinnati Bengals 26-21 and captured a 49.1 average for CBS. Overall network ratings showed ABC far and away the No. | net- work for the week with a 15.6 average. CBS was a distant second with 12.1 and the usually first-place NBC was third with 11.6.

During recent interviews with TV critics in Los Angeles, the heads of programming for the major U.S. networks all dropped hints about the Prospects for some of their series. Not all shows were mentioned, but here's the outlook for some of TV's most noteworthy series: Twin Peaks — Robert Iger, president of ABC Entertainment, in- dicated the network is leaning towards renewal of the cult drama because it fits in with ABC’s effort to lure baby boomers away from their VCRs on Saturday night. “We have improved our perfor- mance among the key demographics,"’ Iger said, noting We Pay the G.S.T. on Photofinishing, Reprints and Enlargements Until Feb. 28 VOGUE STUDIO 1HOUR LAB City Centre Square, Castlegar 7515 s 1 ooo BEST PAYOUTS IN THE KOOTENAYS! 0% PAYOUT: ‘SPECIALTY GAMES PAID OUT LAST BINGO!

LAND USE STRATEGY; the economic and environ- mental impacts of the MOUNTAIN PINE BEETLE; the future of INDIAN LAND CLAIMS. These are all controversial and vital topics which make headlines and create conflict province-wide. Many other equally topical questions are given close scrutiny and analysis in the 1991 programs of Westland. The only TV ih il that deals exclusively with lone use and sus- tainable development. Westland is seen on the B.C. Knowledge Network every Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. The program on Old Growth Forest is broadcast on Thursday, January 31,1991. that Twin Peaks draws about 23 per cent of those between age 18 and 49 watching TV at the time. The show that Twin Peaks replaced, Mystery Movie, drew only 13 per cent of the 18-49 age group. “That simply means that Twin Peaks is a far more viable product for our sales department to sell,’’ Iger said, ‘‘and that’s extremely im- portant to us — it's the business we're in.” Twin Peaks will certainly be the most talked-about renewal decision of the spring, and it creates a classic dilemma for the network. On the one hand, the show attrac- ts the young and hip viewers that ad- vertisers pay a premium to reach. The series also wins prestigious awards like the recent Golden Globe for best dramatic TV series. On the other hand, the show is well down in the overall ratings — finishing 81st out of 90 shows one week in January — and the quality of the series has also deteriorated since the Palmer mystery was solved. Iger has to be wondering if there’s enough steam left in Twin Peaks to fill another 22 hours next season. Dallas — Prime-time’s longest running soap opera, and one of the most-watched shows on CBC, ap- Pears to have reached the end of the line. Jeff Sagansky, head of CBS Enter- tainment, said Dallas ‘‘is probably in its last year, although we haven't definitely made that decision yet."” American Dreamer — A tasteful adult comedy starring Robert Ulrich and Carol Kane, American Dreamer will get another chance to show what it can do later this season. The series, about a writer who drops out of the rat race to return to Wisconsin, began last fall but ran in- to rough scheduling. It was placed late in prime time on Saturday night, suffered low ratings, and was soon put on the shelf. Now, however, NBC Entertain- ment president Warren Littlefield says ‘‘we have five original episodes that will go back on the air in an earlier time period this spring. “*It’s a show I certainly still believe in and we hope to find a better time period for it.”” Lifestories — One of the most Promising of the new fall’ shows, Lifestories appears to be on life sup- port but still has a chance of sur- viving. The series, which explored health issues thorugh compelling fictional dramas, didn’t survive the highly competitive Sunday night ratings derby. = “We still have several episodes to air,’ Littlefield said, ‘‘and we're going to hand-pick time periods where we think that the show could Potentially be successful. ““We haven't given up on it.’’ The Simpsons — When the animated hit was moved last fall up against The Cosby Show, it set up one of the most publicized ratings battles in TV history. The Simpsons quickly lost their Perch near the top of the overall ratings heap, but the fledgling Fox network says it wants to establish a beachhead on various nights of the week and calls the move a success. “It’s been a great start for us (on ”* said Fox president Peter “‘and the show is currently No. I among all key demographics in that time period — adults 18-49, teens and kids. “*We couldn’t be happier.” America’s Funniest Home Videos — Still a top-rated show, but ABC fears the fad will end as suddenly as it began. “You worry about a how like that,” Iger says.

About 200 Kootenay residents participate in a march and rally in Nelson in opposition to the war in the Persian Gulf. —Photo by Chery! Calderbank Voykin said Saddam's invasion of Kuwait was wrong but the United Nations coalition is also wrong by using force against the Iraqi leader. Voykin said two wrongs don’t make a right. “Somehow, if we put our heads together, we will be able to stop the madness that's happenin; he said. Voykin was one of about 200 West Kootenay residents — and some from Creston — who participated in a walk and rally Saturday in Nelson 4s part of the International Day of Action Against the War. The Canadian Peace Alliance, the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ and the New Democratic Par- ty sponsored the Nelson events. When the protesters arrived at the Nelson Civic Centre they were met by Nelson resident Ron Joseph who held a placard which read Support UN, War is Ugly, Saddam is Worse. Where is the concern for Latvia, Lithuania, Kuwait and Afghanistan? Joseph's presence drew an angry reaction from some of the peace Supporters who carried their own signs, some of which read Give San- ctions a Chance, War is not Healthy for Children or other Living Things, and No Blood for Oil. “You're stupid,"’ one woman told Forum continued from front page people, crossed a barrier around the site, was arrested and released without bail. He told the peace supporters they can contribute to the peace cause by simply saying no — from writing let- ters of protest with their income tax returns to partial withholding of taxes. However, he noted that the gover- mment has begun legal action against those who have withheld taxes. Ockenden said the Red Cross, now active in 149 is an of $125- million for assistance to--victims in the Gulf War. Peace supporters at the forum contributed about $350 to the fund. In the Kootenays, the Red Cross is raising funds to help meet the goal.

But he pointed out that the Red Cross can’t enforce the rules, Ockenden also briefed the audience on the Red Cross's presence in the Middle East. There are currently 140 international workers in the Middle East, including seven Swiss delegates in Iraq. There are 90 more inter- national workers on standby to go the gulf. One of the Red Cross’s roles will be to trace people for relatives. That activity is already taking place. Ockenden said the Red Cross anticipates tens of thousands of prisoners of war and has the right to talk with them without witnesses.

He noted that the war was supposed to be over within a matter of days or a couple of weeks and that is was supposed to be a clean, surgical procedure. “We know that’s not true,”” he said. ‘‘Leaders of the free world tell us one thing and what happens is totally opposite.’’ Verigin added that it was ‘‘our government that matter, made (Iraqi president Saddam) Hussein what he is today.”” He told the audience that no matter how mad they become at Saddam, the U.S. government and violence and injustice, not to lose their love because, he said, it’s love that will create the better world they are striving “We're trying to keep our supply up through for.

There was a bigger peace movement then than there is now and look where it got them, nine years out of their lives.’” After assembling in the theatre, the protesters observed a moment of silence for those who had died in the war.
