(1967) Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin. 12:30 30 700 Club 1:00 4 The People Speak 1:15 11 News There's an obvious danger in a 31-year-old saying that a television special about teen-agers is realistic. But "Sooner or Later," an NBC special about a 13-year-old girl coming to grips with her awakening sexuality, has the ring of authentici-ty about it, down to the little layer baby fat that coats the star, De-nise Miller. "Sooner or Later" airs Sunday at 7 p.m.

on Channel 5. Miller and her best friend, played by Mary Beth Manning, start the show pestering a cosmet-'ics saleswoman in a department store. The woman befriends them 'and makes Miller up to look about 16. The girls bump into a rock concert out on the shopping center's parking lot, where Miller makes eyes at the lead singer-guitarist, a 17-year-old played by Rex Smith. After the concert, Miller falls in love with guitars and decides to take lessons.

She turns up at the Eddie Nova Guitar Institute, where her teacher turns out to be you guessed it Rex Smith. She tells Smith she is 16; Smith is impressed with the girl's dedication to the guitar and attracted by her good looks and innocence. Most girls his own age, apparently, have already lost their innocence. The plot unfolds from there, with liberal sprinklings of humor, as Miller tells lie after lie to keep Smith from discovering her true age. When he asks why he hasn't seen her at school, she says she's Catholic and attends a Catholic high school.

The next scene shows her at home lighting candles to celebrate the Jewish sabbath. Miller's friend Manning, who is excellent, has some good lines, too. "Older boys aren't like younger boys," she warns Miller. "They're like men, only younger." Manning is in love with her dentist, who "kisses" her with his hip when he leans over the chair. She's crushed when her checkup finds no cavities and begins a conscientious program of hard-candy consumption to help get her back in the chair of the hip kisser, as Miller describes him.

I There are several tender and touching moments in the two-hour show, but the best one is between Miller and her grandmother (Lilia Skala), who tells the confused, borderline teen about a crush she had on an older boy when she was a girl back in Russia. 1 "Sooner or Later" succeeds because it isn't preachy or obvious. It treats the kids with respect and shows sensitivity to their problems. The weak link in the production is Smith, who's just not as good an actor as Miller. Besides his irritating Farrah Fawcett-Jflajors hairdo, there are the songs his character supposedly has written, which sound like Barry Manilow retreads.

Manilow originals are bad enough. Sportsman's Friend I Victory Garden SATURDAY AFTERNOON 12:00 Young People's Special: "Trouble With Mother" 4 Ark II II MOVIE: You Can't Cheat An Honest Man.

Tune in at 7:30 p.m.

Monday, Channel 9. This year's Easter Seal Telethon begfhs at 10 p.m. Saturday on KDNL, Channel 30, and continues through 6 p.m. Sunday. KSD Radio's Ron Morgan will host the local segment, which runs for 20 minutes each hour.

Mayor James Conway, Roger Wehrli of the football Cardinals and many local radio and tv personalities will appear. In sports, be sure to catch the Kentucky Derby-Triple Crown front-runner, Spectacular Bid, in live coverage of the Flamingo Stakes from Hialeah Park in Florida. It airs Saturday at 4 p.m., Cluin-nell And, of course, the N.C.A.A. college basketball championship co ncludes with semi-finals Saturday at 1:30 p.m. and the final on Monday night at 8 on Channel 5.

It's a great week for movies, beginning tonight with the ageless "Wizard of Oz," starring Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr and Jack Haley (7 o'clock, Channel 4). Despite the film's dozens of showings, the songs, dances and unabashed sentiment still warm the heart. Later (12:10 a.m. Saturday), Channel 2 screens "Wait Until Dark," a 1967 murder mystery starring Alan Arkin, Richard Crenna and Audrey Hepburn as a blind woman who knows too much. Watch for one of the single most terrifying moments on film, assuming it isn't spoiled by an ill-placed commercial.

Still later 1:45 a.m., Channel 11 is "You're Telling Me," W.C. Fields' 1934 classic that includes the famous scene of W.C. on the golf tee. If you watch that, you should be getting out of bed at about noon tomorrow, just in time for more Fields. This time it's "You Can't Cheat an Honest Man." About the only thing Fields, playing Larson E.

Whipsnade, can't cheat is Charlie McCarthy, Edgar Bergen's wooden alter-ego. Better break out the video tape recorder for Saturday night. At 10:30 on Channel 2, it's "In Cold Blood," the screen interpretation of Truman Capote's intense book about the 1959 Clutter family murders. The movie with its stark, cold black-and-white photography is nearly as powerful as the book. Robert Blake stars as one of the killers in this 1967 film.

That's sure to overlap the 12:30 a.m. starting time of "Pressure Point," (Channel 4) with Sidney Poitier as a psychiatrist digging into the mind of a racist-Nazi American played surprisingly well by the late Bobby Darin. Sunday night, if "Sooner or Later" doesn't appeal to you, there's always "The Ten Commandments," at 7 o'clock, Channel 2, starring Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Edward G. Robinson and countless others. The burning bush, the 10 plagues, the parting of the Red Sea and the writing of the Ten Commandments themselves are special effects highlights.

Finally, a personal favorite and a perfect Sunday afternoon flick is "Damn the a 19th century war-at-sea epic starring Alec Guinness, Dirk Bogarde and Anthony Quayle. Catch it at noon on Channel 11.
