"She's a Scorpio very introverted. She doesn't like having a famous mother. I tell her she should enjoy it. Take advantage of it. Be proud of it.

But she doesn't. It's especially bad because we look like sisters. I told her that by the time I was her age, I'd already had her. But she has no adventure in her soul. -A Roy Thinnes and Angie Dickinson star on Wednesday Mystery Movie tonight held on drug charges in a Turkish prison.

But every now and then one pops up completely unplanned.

That was the case with "The Waltons." Earl Hammer Jr. wrote "The Homecoming" as a Christmas show. CBS program executive Fred Silverman saw a series in it and, of course, it became the Emmy-winning hit of the past season. "Kung Fu" was planned sim-' ply as an ABC Movie of the Week. It was so popular and attracted so many young people that ABC tried it once a month last fall.

At midseason it became a regular and a hit. "The Marcus-Nelson Murders" was to be a major dramatic movie on CBS. It certainly was that, but it too is to become a series. The show will be called "Kojak," after the detective who proved the innocence of an accused man and found the real killer. "In a real sense 'The Marcus-Nelson Murders' was not a pilot," said Matthew Rapf, who produced the movie and is producing the series.

"It became a pilot when Telly Savalas was cast as a senior police officer in New York City. "You don't take a dramatization of the Wylie-Hoffert murders and say you're going to make it a pilot." Executive producer Abby Mann wrote the screenplay from the book by Selwyn Raab, based on the 1964 murders of Janice Wylie and Emily Hoffert in New York. The movie contained few of the characteristics of a pilot. By DICK KLEINER HOLLYWOOD (NEA) -The seventh child of a poor Cardiff, Wales, merchant seaman put on her custom-made blue denim overalls, her white blouse especially for me by a and went out to buy a little jewelry. "Whenever I'm pleased with myself," said Shirley Bassey, "I buy a little jewelry.

I really have to cut that out. I've been too pleased with myself lately." She has a right to be pleased. Shirley Bassey is probably the leading international singing star of the moment and she had just knocked 'em dead at a big concert here. Until somebody better comes along, Shirley Bassey is the champ. THIS WAS the windup of an 18-city, six-week tour, her annual American tour.

She's pretty organized these days. She does the American tour, an English tour, a German tour, six weeks in Las Vegas "and the odd date in Spain or Monaco," and that's about her work for the year. She never works during the summer. She says that nothing could possibly persuade her to because that's when her children are home from school. And that's when she and her husband, an Italian with the un-Italian name of Sergio Novak, go to their villa on Sardinia.

The rest of the year their home is in Lugano, Switzerland. Not bad for the poor little girl, half -Welsh, half -Nigerian, from the streets of Cardiff. She says hers was a happy childhood, despite the poverty and the fact that her father was almost always away on some ship. "I WAS THE only one in the family who sang," Shirley says. "My mother says nobody on her side sang so it must have come from my father's side some uncle or grandfather, one of Ask TV SCOUT PRINCESS GRACE I'm a Grace Kelly fan.

Are her films ever shown on TV? The only one I've seen is "High Society." -E. Abilene, Tex.

Others to watch for are "Mogambo," "The Country Girl," "The Bridges at Toko-Ri," "To Catch a Thief" and "The Swan." Check local listings for date and time of telecast in your area. Skins," a bizarre-rough-and-tumble story about six businessmen who play basketball together. Then one side hides a basketball and the other side has to find it.

That doesn't sound like much, but the ABC Movie of the Week is causing so much talk about town that ABC is thinking about a sequel and even a series. In the meantime, Bixby is taking the biggest step of all toward altering his image. He will star in his first dramatic series, "The Magician" for NBC. ROCK CONCERT SAT.

Theo Kojak. But the contract as is standard procedure contained an option that it could become a series. "CBS wanted Telly very much to play the lead," Rapf said. "They wanted him very much for a series. I think they'd gone to him four or five times over the years with ideas.

That's when it became a series when Telly signed that option." Savalas, bald as a bullet, with heavy eyelids and strong facial features, had been the guest star in a number of other pilots that did become series. He also appeared in such movies as "Birdman of Alcatraz," "Beau Geste," "The Dirty Dozen" and "Kelly's Heroes." CBS' interest in him was sparked in 1967 when he played a villain called "Bear" in the pilot of "Cimarron City." William Paley, the chairman of CBS, saw it and suggested Savalas for a series. One of the shows he was offered, and turned down, was "Arnie." "Kojak" will not be around when CBS premieres the fall season on Sept. 10. Because of the 16-week writers' strike, "Kojak" as yet doesn't have a single script.

Rapf said, "We were all honest. No one wrote during the strike." Several scripts are now in outline and the show will not go into production until Aug. 22, probably the latest start for any series. That means "Kojak" will not reach the air until the third or fourth week of October. Father," but to remind people I'm an actor," said Bixby.

What happens is that at a casting session the name of an actor comes up and someone says, "Naw, he can't do drama. He's a comedy actor." Bill Bixby figured that was happening to him. When his name would come up, all anyone could remember were his comedy roles in "My Favorite Martian" and "The Courtship of Eddie's Father." But how about Bill Bixby, the star of "Steambath?"
