—TV DIALOGUE—

OBSCURE DETECTIVES The USA Cable Network has been airing such shows as "Chase,” “Toma,” “Griff” and “Get Christie Love” on its weekly “Crimebusters’’ series. When did these shows first air? I never heard of any of them. S.W., Danbury, Conn. The aforementioned series were all one-season losers. “Chase” aired on NBC during the 1974-75 season, while “Griff” and “Toma" were on ABC. “Get Christie Love,” also on ABC, was a 1975-76 entry. Actually, “Toma” didn’t fare badly in the ratings. It was canceled when Tony Musante decided he didn’t like series work. Robert Blake was supposed to have replaced Musante, but instead the character was revamped and “Baretta” was born. “Crimebusters” has now been temporarily bumped from its Wednesday night spot for college basketball. ONE AND THE SAME I need to prove to my grandmother that the actor who now plays Brian McColl on “As the World Turns” is the same actor who played Mark, Amanda Spaulding’s lover and Jennifer Spaulding’s husband, on “The Guiding Light” two years ago. There’s S2O on this. D.L., Alona, Ore. I hate to think that you’re going to take an old lady’s money, but Mark Pinter jumped from “Guiding Light” upon Mark’s demise and has replaced Frank Telfer as the late Whit McColl’s son. LOVING LUCY Please tell me where I can write to Lucille Ball. K.C., Greenville, Miss. You can address your letter to Lucille Ball Productions, P.O. Box 900, Beverly Hills, CA 90213.

'Cosby Show' tops

NEW YORK (AP) The failure of “Hollywood Wives” to ring up blockbuster ratings shows that future miniseries may have to offer more than mere sex, sin and scandal to attract the discriminating viewer faced with a potpourri of choices, network officials say. “These things go in cycles,” said Mike Eisenberg, CBS’ director of audience measurement. “But the one thing that goes through my mind is that sexy type films, like ‘Hollywood Wives,’ are the kind that are on all the time on pay-cable.” Eisenberg added that “the excellent miniseries will continue to do well, but not that many people will make a commitment to mediocre shows. People are more selective and have more alternatives to be selective with.” “Hollywood Wives,” ABC’s lavishly trashy miniseries about some of Hollywood’s beautiful people, performed solidly, finishing as the week’s No. 7 show, but it did not live up to many expectations and could not prevent the third-rated network from another last-place finish. CBS, which won Sunday (with

Kristy McNichol during her ‘Family’ days

FIRST FAMILY I have a bet that Kristy McNichol did another family show before “Family.” I can’t remember . the name of it but I think Ronny Cox was the father. D.A., Hardy, Ky. Miss McNichol played Patricia, the younger daughter on “Apple’s Way,” which aired on CBS during the 197475 season. She actually replaced Franny Michel, who created the role. “Family” premiered in March 1976. OH, BROTHER-IN-LAW Please settle a dispute. Who played the brother-in-law in Dom DeLuise’s “Lotsa Luck” series? Was it Steven Keats? R.C., Asbury Park, N.J. Wynn Irwin played the sponging in-law.
