2 THE COURIER-JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1975 i. Today's television programs iames doussard Courier-Journal TV Radio Critic Great Caesar's ghost! It's Superman! listic and suggested that the potential viewer consider if it should be viewed by young people or others who might dis. turbed by it. Indeed, programs have come to television in the past that warranted such flagging. This film was not as violent as many, not as frank as many, contained no nudity and no objectionable language.

The question of two female hostages submitting to their captors in order to survive was central to the eventual ending. If that is what raised the flag, we are going to see a lot of flags provided consistency is to be the policy. Unfortunately, this flag looks in retrospect to have been a cheap trick to lure an audience. So bad it is good Do films and series that are so bad they are funny and thus good grab you? If so and you haven't already latched on to WDRB-41's "Sons of Hercules" at 6 Saturday nights, you are missing a dandy. The Italian-made series piles cinematic cliche upon cliche.

The dubbing is ter-rible; the color isn't good; the stories are worse. And, if you get in on a two-parter, you see most of the first show twice, The shows run 60 minutes. One week, 25 minutes had passed on the second part before I saw any footage I hadn't seen the Saturday before. Terrible! Terrific! WAVE-3 WHAS-11 WLKY-32 WDRB-41 30 WAV!

"It's a Bird It's a Plane It's Superman" came to Broadway in 1966 with somebody named Bob Holiday as mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent, alias Superman. The show earned its production costs, thus qualifying as a commercial hit, at least.

Now, Superman comes to television again, in a production based on the Broadway musical. An actor named David Wilson will be our hero. While the spoof of the comic-strip character isn't exactly kiddie fare, it hardly seems right that ABC has chosen to give it an 11:30 p.m. EST starting time on Feb. 21.

The production win run two hours. WLKY-32 in Louisville carries "Wide World" specials, of which this is an outing, on an hour's delay. Thus, if you want to see the story's end you'll be up until 2:30 in the morning. The production has some name players. Lesley Warren, who did one season on "Mission: Impossible," plays Lois Lane, girl reporter.

Kenneth Mars is a Daily Planet columnist who is jealous of Clark Kent; David Wayne is a bad guy who ferrets out Superman's "only weakness," and Loretta Swit of "MASH" is the jealous columnist's Girl Friday. Twelve songs are spread along the two-hour route, but none is very memorable. Several, however, are loud, which might be useful after you've watched Superman leap so many buildings with single bounds that the scene begins to look like an insomniac counting sheep. A flag or a lure? The flag that NBC threw up before and during the telecast Tuesday night of the film "Death Stalk" seemed gratuitous at best. It allowed that the adventure story was about people whose lives were in danger and who had to choose their ways to survival.

It said the film was frank and rea Today's highlights on TV on various aspects of the assignment and use of police vehicles. According to a report submitted by Nevin, the 37 vehicles assigned for 24 hours include 22 for those with the rank of canlain and above. The remaining 15 include cars for the "director of training, community relations coordinator, intelligence, inspections director, public information officer, and traffic administrative lieutenant." Several members of the board criticized the condition of cars assigned to officers who ride beats in the six city districts. They also questioned the way the police get the cars they are purchased by the Works Department and then leased by the Police Department for about $108 per week, Nevin said. Thornberry said that this and other issues should be considered by board members, but he stressed that the appropriation was needed to replace worn-out vehicles.

i Continued From Page CI pected the mayor to implement a new, more specific policy "within the next few weeks." Bryan said that the oresent; "unwritten" policy on "overnight" cars restricts their use to driving to and from work, and to driving while on official business. "Nobody's fupposed to use these cars to go to the grocery store," he said. But he acknowledged when asked that there is no active policing of this policy. He added, however, that "the public is pretty good at letting us know" about possible abuses. Bryan said that, in some cases, including his own, people being hired by the city were told that they would get the use of a car as part of their job.
