GRAYING
OF PRIME
TIME TV

By JON BURLINGAME

It’s being called the graying of prime time. Taking
their cue from last year’s highly successful “The Golden
Girls,” more than a third of this season's new network
series spot-light actors in their 50s or beyond.

Chief among the familiar faces: Lucille Ball and Andy
Griffith, two leading lights from TV's Golden Age who
return in tried-and-ture formula concepts. Wilford
Brimley and Ellen Burstyn also join television's ranks
this fall, Burstyn in one of the 11 sitcoms among 23
freshman entries.

NBC, coming off its first unqualified season win in
three decades, will try to maintain its leadership while
CBS struggles to regain its long-held prime-time promi-
nence. ABC, still in the ratings cellar, hopes to improve
its position with audiences and advertisers too, but look
for last season's network standings to remain unchanged
in °86-'87

SUNDAY

NBC would like viewers at your house to sample Our
House even though it’s directly opposite “60 Minutes.”
And you should: it's a strong family drama that brings
the gruff, seldom-smiling character actor Wilford Brimley
(“Cocoon”) to TV as an outspoken retiree whose life is
disrupted by the arrival of his widowed daughter-in-law
(Deidre Hall, doing double duty with “Days of Our
Lives”) and he. three children.

ALL TV PREVIEW

In Easy Street, which follows on NBC, Loni
Anderson plays a wealthy Beverly Hills widow who takes
in her crude, elderly uncle and his easygoing roommate
The inevitable culture clash occurs with her stuffy sister
in-law, who shares the mansion. Jack Elam plays the
uncle but Lee Weaver (as Elam’s buddy) gets all the best
lines. With “Disney” and “Murder, She Wrote” for
competition, the road ahead for Loni will be anything but
easy.

MONDAY

Imagine a Muppet as a standup comic who lands his
own sitcom. Imagine viewers watching such a show
ALF, a bizarre half-hour bound to generate conversation,
if not ratings, is NBC's early evening entry. It's about a
wiseguy alien whose ship crashes into tinkerer Max
Wright's garage. Co-creator Tom Patchett (“Buffalo Bill”)
describes ALF — an acronym for Alien Life Form — as a
cantankerous extraterrestrial, “akin to living with Archie
Bunker as a child.” If it takes off, look for ALF puppets to
flood the toy stores around late November.

CBS's winning Monday-night lineup won't be heiped
by the routine My Sister Sam, which casts Pam Dawber
as a San Francisco photographer whose teen-age sister
moves in. Energetic Rebecca Schaeffer; as the younger
sibling, shows promise, and David Naughton (“Makin’ It”)

is briefly amusing as an obnoxious neighbor.

An hour later on CBS comes the first real winner of
the new season. Designing Women is a sassy, honest and
very funny comedy from the creators of the short-lived,
much-liked “Filthy Rich.” Delta Burke, Dixie Carter,
Annie Potts and Jean Smart play a quartet of friends who
operate an Atlanta decorating business. Their sharply
drawn relationships, crisp dialogue and delightful acting
chemistry place this one in the instant-hit column.

TUESDAY

Atlanta's also the locale of NBC's Matleck, which
returns Andy Griffith to TV in his fifth series. He plays a
lawyer whose country charm belies his courtroom
brilliance; Linda Purl is his daughter and law partner
Bases on last season's high-rated “Diary of a Perfect
Murder,” it’s in the venerable Perry Mason mold of
winning cases via last-minute twists. Perfect counter
programming for ABC's high-rated early-evening com.
edies.

CBS's The Wizard has decidedly more kid appeal in
its star, David Rappaport, the 3-foot-11 actor best known
for his role in the movie “Time Bandits.” This action-ad
venture about an inventive genius with a fondness for
toys and things magical is filled with stunts and speqal
effects for the “Airwolf” crowd, but it'll have to work
some genuine magic to attract an audience.

Crime Story is from producer Michael Mann (“Miami
Vice”), a continuing drama chronicling the changing
fortunes of a cop, a erook and a prosecutor through the
"60s and ‘70s. The series, which moves from Chicago to
Las ‘Vegas, looks eXPtnsive, has a pop soundtrack a la
“vice” and even stars an ex-Chicago cop (Dennis Farina)
The tough, violent opener suggests a relentlessly grim

view of urban crime, and opposite the lighter, sophis
ticated “Moonlighting,” Mann would be advised to reduce
his 22 hours of storyline into the 13 for which he has a
firm NBC commitment.

ABC's Jack and Mike trashes a good idea: married
yuppies trying to juggle careers and relationships
Shelley Hack (once one of “Charlie's Angels”) and Tom
Mason (“Our Family Honor”) are a crusading newspaper
columnists and prospering restaurateur, respectively
Location shooting in Chicago doesn't compensate for
multiple credibility lapses and weak, cliched writing

WEDNESDAY

Elliott Gould, though stung by the failure of “E/R,”
tries again with CBS's Together We Stand as he and Dee
Wallace Stone play the adoptive parents of a Vietnamese
teen-ager and a 6-year-old black girl. Despite a few clever
scenes, it's essentially a labored mixture of ‘80s reality
comedy and ‘60s fantasy (the latter, the forte of co-execu
tive producer Sherwood Schwartz, who gave the world
“Gilligan's Island”)

Also on CBS is Better Days. a boring “White
Shadow” retread with Raphael Sbarge as a Hollywood
teen-ager transplanted to somewhat rough territory in
Brooklyn. Dick O'Neill, as his grandfather, has seen
better days too (notably as Chris Cagney’s dad)

Howard Hesseman also returns to the sitcom wars
this fall. He's an unorthodox teacher of advanced high
school students in ABC's Head of the Class. Nine
unknowns play the collection of nerds and misfits in an
undistinguished “Room 222” filled with “Real Genius’
rejects

TORONTO (CP) — A four

because she was “tough
enough to break free,” her
mother says.

“It's just- lucky she got
away I guess she's just
tough like her mom,” Anna
Hillock, of suburban Eto
bicoke, said Tuesday

Doctors expect the girl will
be able to see within a week.
But she must be examined
regularly to monitor healing
of corneas di ged by the
toxic fluids mixed with en-
gine oil, they said

Police have questioned her

attackers — one five-year-old
and two aged 7—but have
not laid charges in the
Monday night incident be
cause they are under the
minimum age of 12 specified
by the federal Young Offen
ders Act.

After the assault, Hillock
found her daughter, Lisa,
screaming in the hallway of
their apartment building.
Covered in the toxic solution,
the child was stumbling out
of the elevator toward the
fourth floor apartment

Her wrists and legs were
bound and a rope was tied
around her neck

The boy was attacked
about 6 p.m. Monday after
the 18-month-old cougar got
loose from its chain and
pounced on him in his own
backyard, said Police Chief
Donice Jones.

Jones and a_ neighbor
Orlen Davis, said they re

“When I saw. him, I was

“Then they tied me up and

Mike Stein, Hillock's com-
mon-law husband, said he is
“just plain mad” about the
incident. Lisa had previously
told her parents the boys had
teased her and thrown stones
at her and complaints had
been made to their parents.

Police have asked Chil

against children as young as
seven, but the 1984 Young

And, the organization said,
the 272 confirmed cases of
disappearances are only the
tip of the iceberg, and there
may be many more that have
not been documented.

Amnesty also documents
many cases of torture of de
tainees by security forces,
including beatings -of people

on sexual organs, electric
shock and the stuffing of hot
substances into sensitive
areas of the body.

The Amnesty investi-

Sometimes prisoners were
forced to watch torture ses-

wrongdoing on the part of
security forces, especially the
dreaded Special Task Force.
