Television finally rediscovers families

NE W YORK t AP) Network :elevision is offering three wholesome movies about jhildren and family this week. They aren’t typical families, jut they still have the important ingredients. These tender TV morsels would have been perfect for the Thanksgiving weekend. But that’s when families tend to be entertaining or traveling, and TV viewing is down. They’re a far cry from families depicted in nighttime soap operas, like “Dallas” and tonight’s “Dynasty,” which treat kin more like rival mob families than blood relations. CBS’ “Dallas” is this season’s top-rated program and ABC’s “Dynasty” was No. 8 last week, testament to the popularity of this negative concept of family. Some other family series are doing well, but they’re comedies, like “The Jeffersons” and “One Day at a Time.” Dramatic series with a more positive view of the family, like NBC’s “Little House on the Prairie,” are just not faring as well. That leaves TV to capture the strong family binds in one-shot movies, which the networks do well by building poignant stories from real-life situations. It’s a successful, emotionally manipulative formula, and it works Already, CBS had “The Marva Collins Story” on Tuesday, in which a dedicated Chicago teacher successfully turned slow and learning-disabled pupils into eager students. On the blackboard in the tenament schoolhouse was written, “Welcome to Success.” Those same words are writ-

ten on a Florida school blackboard in ABC’s Sunday movie, “A Long Way Home,” starring Timothy Hutton as Donald, the eldest of three abandoned and separated siblings. Donald’s passion for real family turns him against his adopted parents and creates an obsession to find his brother and sister. The anchor of a real family is often taken for granted, except by those who don’t have it. On Saturday night, CBS also deals with orphans in “The Children Nobody Wanted.” Fred Lehne is Tom Butterfield, a college student who, at the age of 21, became the first bachelor and the youngest single adult to become a legal foster parent in Missouri. By the end, Butterfield has brought nine children into his home and created a heartwarming family situation which will touch viewers. The same tug of family helps make tonight’s “Love, Sidney” on NBC one of the best new programs of the season. Middleaged Sidney Shorr (Tony Randall) is resigned to the fact that he will never have a family. In the movie pilot, it was because he was homosexual. In the series, no stated reason has been offered thus far. Then into his life comes a young woman and her illegitimate daughter. They form a threesome that isn’t the conventional kind of family living unit but has all the elements, nonetheless: love, caring, protectiveness. “Love, Sidney” and this week’s three sentimental movies prove that the networks don’t have to tear down the family to build good programs.
