Comedies outnum

By Jerry Buck

LOS ANGELES (AP) — In
the fall television season, law
and\order shows are back so
strong on U.S. networks that
they threaten to topple the
crown from King Comedy's
head.

Among new shows, six
new comedies account for
only three hours — unusual
after the long dominance by
comedy. Eight new police
shows take up eight hours.

The police shows apparent-
ly reflect the mood in the
U.S. and its shift toward the
right. They run toward the

CASTLEGAR NEWS, September 13, 1981

from NBC to CBS,

Here is a brief look at the
new series, (There are no
new shows on Monday.)

Tl DAY

Father Murphy, (NBC).
Merlin Olsen is a gold miner
who masquerades as a priest
to save an orphanage in the
Old West. Creator Micheal
Landon has tossed in all the
elements that made Little
House on the Prairie a
winner, Moses Gunn and
Katherine Cannon also star
in this family show.

Simon and Simon, (CBS).

an
update of The FBI), and,
despite a few private eyes
and even a bounty hunter,
none apears to reflect the
“break-the-law-to-enforce-it”
mentality of such recent
series as Eischied or Walking
Tall.

In normal times once the
Emmyswere past, ABC, CBS
and NBC would quickly un-
fold the new season. But, like
last year, these are not
normal times. The recently
ended writers’ strike is hold-
ing up the season, as: the:
actors’ strike delayed jit a
year ago. In fact, some shows
still haven't gone into pro-

duction. Nevertheless, the °

first of the premieres will
come during the next few
weeks, then the floodtide will
be in October and

play two

who run a San Diego detec-

tive agency. Parker is clean-

cut and into three-piece suits.

McRaney is laid-back and

likes the good life on his

houseboat. Expect a sibling
cultural clash here.

Bret Maverick, (NBC).
James Garner is back, as
Maverick after 20 years, a
little slower, a little heavier,
but still wise-cracking and
coming up one ace short. The
peripatetic gambler settles in
Sweetwater, where a news-
yperwoman and a phony

_sgcout, become his Nemesis.

It'll be, like having an old
1 friend back in town.

Mr. Merlin, (CBS). Bar-
nard Hughes is Max Merlin,
garage mechanic and Arthur-
ian sorcerer. Clark Brandon

The three networks are
adding 23 new shows, 24 if

Simon Webb
on tour with
one man show

Simon Webb, a Vancouver
based actor, director and
writer, will tour his one man
show “A Geriatric Cabaret”
in this area in September.
The National Exhibition Cen-
tre will present this madcap
comedy performance on the
evening of Sept. 26. Tickets
are $2 for NEC members and
$3 for b

is his ger app

The Fall Guy, (ABC). Lee
Majors is a movie stunt man
who moonlights as a bounty
hunter. Douglas Barr is his
cousin, long on education and
short on horse sense. Majors
displays good humor as he
comes up a loser, until he
wins in the end. A funny
show, jampacked with
stunts.

Love, Sidney, (NBC).
Bachelor Tony Randall is
surrogate father to a young
actress and her daughter.
The series may find it tough
living up to its pilot, Sidney
Schorr, which airs as a movie
on Monday, Oct. 5. Don't
miss.it — you'll laugh and.cry
all the way through. Unfor-
tunately for the series, Lorna

Webb portrays an old per-
former, Jeremy Hattrick,
who puts on a cabaret show
which he feels sums up his
life, his attitudes and his
achievements.

Max Wyman of “The Prov-
ince” says “.. . quite simply
sets new bench marks of ex-
cellence for satire in this
town.” And in “The Sun”
“,., has the ability to make
you think he is talking
directly to you — has the
ability to make his cast do the
same.”

The show is directed by
Richard Newman, also of
Vancouver.

actress, has gone on to

Shannon, (CBS). New York
detective Jack Shannon
(Kevin Dobson) is in unfamil-
iar waters after transferred
to the San Francisco police.
He moves so his 10-year-old
son can be near his maternal
grandparents after the death
of his mother. Series hinges
on his police work and
personal life and his reaction

OLI instruction
- will continue

The Open Learning Insti-
tute will continue. to’ serve
students during a strike by
its unionized ‘employees, it
was announced Tuesday.” ‘

The approximately’90 ‘OLI
employées who are members
of the B.C. Government Em-
ployees’ Union walked off the
job earlier in the day, leaving
19 administrative employees,
eight regional advisors and
100 tutors to serve 3,000
students enrolled for the fall
semester.

“All OLI advertised
courses will be offered, and
we will maintain the best
possible level of service we
ean for our students during
the strike,” said Sid Segal,
dean of administration at
Out.

“While there will be inevi-
table problems in trying to
serve students with a re-
duced staff, we have made
plans that will enable us to
keep up with student ser-
vices activities. The majority
of tutors, who are OLI's in-
structional staff, will be
working. Research and

_ courge,. deyelopment —func-

tions will be curtailed qo that
we can put all remaining staff
power to work on processing
student assignments and rec-
ords, helping students with
their course work, and main-
taining their progress.”

On Feb. 27, OLI employees
received certification under
the BCGEU. Since April 15,
representatives from OLI
administration and the
BCGEU bargaining unit have
been negotiating toward a
first contract.

On Aug. 18, the union
served strike notice and a
mediator was appointed.
Talks began immediately,
but broke down after four
sessions, Pickets appeared at
OLI's central office in Rich-
mond on Tuesday.

All regular course offer- js

ings will continue as planned,
although examination ar-
rangements may change.
Students or prospective stu-
dents wishing more infor-
mation should call 9352-2310,
in Nelson, or call toll-free to

Dear Ann Landers: You say it Is impossible to print
every letter. Well, then how do you choose? It Is
becoming evident that you are going the way of much of
the media and opting for the sensational.

1s it too late to ask you to rethink your position? For
Instance, wouldn’t It be a service to the youth of the
world If you chose to Ignore those teenage sex-and-drug
tests? s

Credit In the most recent version Is given to two
teenagers from a Chicago suburb, along with your own
very modest disclaimer. However, the fact that you did
Indeed publish that test gave It a-great deal of weight
and, in my opinion, added to the deterioration of moral
behavior among our sadly misguided youth.

If it Is true, as you said, that you don’t care much for
these tests, we beg of you to show more care for our
young people —and your own.

( — Wainut Creek Parenis

Dear Parenis: The worst thing about those tests Is that
the low scorers were classified as ‘‘nerds’’ and

more decent, better-behaved kids who deserve praise,
not ridicule. F
