1 McLean Stevenson runs a radio talk show on "Hello Larry." By PAM NOEL Newsdey He's divorced, raising two teen-aged girls and the host of a crazy radio talk show in Portland, Ore. He's Larry Alder, the well-meaning but bungling title character of "Hello Larry," an NBC mldseason entry last season that chugged its way through and won a place in this season's programming. "Our show was very slow at starting out," said McLean Stevenson, who plays Larry. Stevenson is perhaps best known for his role as Col. Henry Blake in "MASH." He was cast in "Hello Larry" almost immediately after the cancellation of his last television show, "In the Beginning." "This season, I'm more excited about this than anything I've ever done since he said.

Stevenson, who has shunned interviews lately because of the initial cool critical reception for "Hello Larry," seemed at ease speaking about the show's new season. "It was really a weird year for me," he said, pointing out that he had done six specials for CBS before taking on "In the Beginning." That show had its premiere in September 1978, but was soon canceled. Ten days later he agreed to do the pilot for "Hello Larry." "Reviews of pilots are really not the way to judge a show," Stevenson said, complaining that his career and Fred Silverman's efforts to rescue NBC seemed to matter more to critics than the content of the show. But all feelings aside, "Hello Larry" apparently did need some work to make it more palatable to viewers. During the past season the series focus has slowly shifted from emphasis on Larry Alder, the wise-cracking radio show host, to Larry Alder, the single father raising two daughters.

"Our real-life situation is similar to that of the show," said Stevenson, who, creative consultant, produced the last eight shows of the past season. George Tibbies, the former producer, became executive producer, replacing 'Perry Grant and Dick Bensfield, "Hello Larry's" creators. Grant and Bensfield were also responsible for "One Day at a Time," a CBS situation comedy about a single woman and her two daughters. New to the cast this season is Mead-owlark Lemon, the former Harlem Globetrotter, who is beginning a Career as an actor. Lemon plays himself, a well-to-do owner of a sporting-goods store, who buys air time on Larry's show.

There are also John Femia as the Alders' 12-year-old neighbor and Ruth Brown, as Leona Williams, a black schoolteacher who is Larry's neighbor and Ruthie's teacher. ti-' like Larry Alder, is divorced and the father of two children, a boy and a girl. Kim Richards, who plays Larry's younger daughter, Ruthie, and Donna Wilkes, who had played the oldest daughter, 16-year-old Diane, are from single-parent families. Miss Wilkes recently left the show for personal reasons, according to NBC spokesmen. She has been replaced by 16-year-old Krista Errickson.

The shift in the show's emphasis from Larry's job at the radio station to his home life seems to have been a healthy move, since the ratings have improved somewhat "The show is just getting off the ground, and it has some shaky moments," said Woody Kllng, the show's producer. Kling, who previously was the show's sMHcatea rerun. -KET channel: 21 Murray MayfleM, 22 PlkerWe, 23 EUubethtown, 25 Ashland, 29 Somerset, 35 MadiaonvHIo, 36 Haiard, 38 Morehead, 46 Leumgtoa, 62 Owenton, 63 Bowling Groan, 64 Covington, 68 Louis vW.
