Ml Nielsen ratings.

ABC averaged 31.1 per cent of the audience, NBC 30.6 and CBS 27.1. A pair of NBC specials, "James At 15" and the new "Laugh-In," ranked 1-2 in total viewers, despite the fact that they didnt get a fraction of the advance publicity that "Closed Doors" did. Surprisingly, the weakest episode of "Closed Doors," Sunday's conclusion, had the largest audience, even though it was competing against the Emmy Awards. "Closed Doors" should have ended an' hour earlier than it did, with President Monckton's capitulation to CIA director Martin, but the producer instead chose to repeat the now-familiar story of how a newspaper reporter helped bring down the Administration. Fortunately, the earlier writing was better and the performances of Jason Robards and Robert Vaughn helped lure viewers to the final chapter.

The rankinls of the "Closed Doors" segments went like this: Sunday, No. Thursday, No. Tuesday, No. Saturday, No. 16; and Wednesday, No.

17. Over-all the show averaged a 34 share of the national audience. The "Miss America" show and the Elvis Presley special tied for Nos. 5-6. The "6,000,000 Man" (season premiere) was No.

7, "What's Happening" No. 9, and "Logan's Run" was No. 10. An especially good presentation of "60 Minutes" ranked No 11, followed by the Emmys. "The Fitzpa-tricks" ranked No.

It sounded like an idiotic argument for creative people to employ that they couldn't compose TV scripts without gunfire or burning cars. Now I'm beginning to believe them. I've just seen the premiere episode of "CHiPS," an NBC series that will be premiered on KSD-TV at 7 o'clock tomorrow night.

The producers made a big thing about the nonviolent aspect of the half-hour show and they do deserve credit for the effort. Unfortunately, they didn't locate writers who could function in such an unfamiliar atmosphere. It is important to know how to spell "CHiPS." Four letters are capitalized, but there is a lowercase in there to make the title noticeable. The letters stand for California Highway Patrol. The is added because it is a story about two of the highway cops, played by Larry Wilcox (officer Jonathan Baker) and Erik Estrada (officer Ponch Poncherello).

"Actually, the stars are two motorcycles, Kawasaki 900s," said a spokesman for the show last summer. He was correct. The bikes have the best lines. At least the solid "vrooom! vrooom!" of the Kawasakis have an authentic sound. Wait until you compare this with the make-believe grumpiness of a sergeant bawling out mischievous Ponch for his latest goof-up, or the hard-to-imagine scene in which Ponch chews out Baker in front of some suspects.

I CAN SEE the Hollywood writers struggling to put this script together without the devices they have learned to love and cherish: "OK, Sam, we got the cops stopping this moving van that the audience knows is involved in the car thefts. The guy up in the cab's got to pull out a shotgun so they can get away, right? We still got 20 minutes to go." "Naw, Arnie. The boss says nix. No shotguns." "How about if one member of the truck crew sneaks around behind and belts the cop with a stick?" "Nope, it's still violence." "Sam, what CAN we have them do? What's left?" "Well, let's have a truck loaded with glue overturn nearby. Ponch, 1 being not too bright, parks his bike in the middle of the stuff." "Do you think that will sound authentic, Sam? They told us this was going to be about how real cops work." "Sure.

And we'll have the glue dry so fast that Ponch's bike won't move when he guns it. That will get him in more trouble with his mean old sergeant." 3:00 8 MedicalCenter 4 Mike Douglas: Diahann Carroll, Lily Tomlin, Albert Finney, Lou Brock 2 EdgeofNight 11 Flintstones Popeye I SesameStreet Summer fun for each member of the family.

tomorrow. It is an interesting, though frequently alarming, look at the Missouri vacation-retirement area. The rustic nature of the section has been so appealing to city residents that it is encountering many of the same problems as urban sections. An interview with a state hydrol-ogist is particularly disturbing. "The subsurface is not an infinite filter," the scientist cautions.

"Contaminated water dumped into the subsurface stays there as contami- nated water. We must fix our prob-lems or we will destroy what is unique about the Ozarks."
