And "The New $25,000 Pyramid." Actually, the "$25,000 Pyramid" looks like a 25-cent pyramid on the new Sony Watchman, but who cares? The Sony Watchman is the Christmas present of the year, the greatest home toy since the SX-70 camera, a thing of beauty and a joy, if not forever, at least until an even smaller TV set comes out. Sony's Watchman is the tiniest yet. Other companies make sets with screens as small as its little two-incher, but the triumph of the Watchman is its thinness. A new kind of picture tube makes possible a "flat" TV set, only 1.5 inches thick, that is about the size of a walkie-talkie. Or, come to think of it, a SX-70 camera.

One can hold it easily in one hand and feast squinting eyes on its adorable little black-and-white flicker. The Watchman is as cute as E.T. and you don't have to wait in the woodshed for one to come and visit you. What you do have to do is shell out 350 bucks, and even those who are quite prepared to do that may be disappointed for awhile, because a Sony executive says the company won't be able to import nearly as many Watchmen for the holiday buying season as it would like. It seems the Watchman is such a smash in its native Japan that Sony can only make it available in limited quantities at first; reportedly, the sets sell in Tokyo at the rate of more than 500 a month.

"Several thousand, at the most" will be available in U.S. stores in the next few weeks, the executive says. He predicts the Watchman's novelty may make it as hotly sought an item as was Sony's original Walkman, the portable stereo tape player, which sold for as much as $700 when there were only a handful to be had. Sony had hoped to price the Watchman 50 or even $100 lower than the $350 price, but the scarcity is keeping the cost up for now. What you get for your money is a TV that can be taken to football games for close-up instant replays, or run off the car battery for the evening news while one is stuck in rush-hour traffic.

Walking down the street and staring into it is not recommended and not practical. In a big city all it will get you is a bop on the head and the disappearance of one Watchman, pronto. On a TV this small, any series is a miniseries. People who want to read Environmental Protection Agency estimate disclaimers in automobile commercials will not find the Watchman very helpful. But for the true, terminal, irredeemable TV addict, the Watchman is a revelation, even if its picture can be completely hidden by just one commemorative postage stamp.

The set runs for 2.5 hours on four little 1.5 volt batteries, or can be operated from a wall plug, or larger batteries for longer playing time. You wouldn't watch "Roots" on it, but that's not what it's for. Stations have to be tuned in with a tuning wheel the way UHF channels have to be dialed in on other sets, which is easily done. The Walkman's pulling power is formidable when it comes to distant TV signals. There is not a single adjustment control for the picture no brightness, contrast, vertical hold or any of that.

What you get is what you see. It's remarkably sufficient. Watchman's built-in speaker is surprisingly tinny "not the greatest speaker in the world," the Sony exec admits but the set is really designed to be used with an earphone that comes with it. The earphone jack will also accommodate the stereo headphones used with a Sony Walkman, and the sound quality then is superb. Have I died and gone to heaven, or what? The real question is, how much smaller will TV sets get, and how quickly? We couldn't get anybody at Sony to answer that.

Television screens are going to grow radically in both directions over the coming years: wall screens for the living room and itsy-bitsy, teensey-we'ensey mini-micro sets for the wrist. Dick Tracy's dream will come true, and then some. As an interim wonder, the Watchman is another reason it's become harder and harder to hate technology. People are buying home computers right and left (they don't get enough grief from the darned things at the office, or the supermarket?) and you can't watch five minutes of TV, it seems, without getting blitzed by ads for video games. It's pointless to resist any more.

How many Watchmen, one might reasonably wonder, will be squished into pancakes by people who fall asleep with them in their beds, after cuddling up with Johnny? Technology marches on, right into our hearts.

Now, this isn't the dashing Farentino "Dynasty" fans were used to seeing last season.

For this role, he has turned himself into a balding, slouching, klutzy, slightly overweight nebbish without personal vanities. Of course, Schroder doesn't want to accept a guy like this, or anyone else, as a father substitute. Nor is Duke any too certain about how steadying or influential Farentino can be for the boy. Farentino must wage a predictably uphill battle to win over the minds On prime-time television of the 1980s, as with the movies of the '50s, the play is not the thing. The players are.

Once the premise of a dramatic production is set up, any reasonably astute viewer can instantly tell how the story will end. So, it is the telling the actors' interpretations of their roles that make the story interesting. "Something So Right," CBS, tonight at 9 on KTVN Channel 2, is made not only interesting but down right heartwarming by the performances of James Farentino, Ricky Schroder and Patty Duke Astin. Schroder is cast as a rebellious 11-year-old who likes to take things that aren't his. At her wit's end, Duke, playing his divorced mother, allows herself to become convinced Schroder needs a steadying male influence in his life.

For help, she turns to the Big Brother organization, which sends along Farentino to provide the influence. Groucho estate trial delayed If your paper's late or missing, please let us know.

(AP) The trial of a $400,000 lawsuit by the estate of Groucho Marx against the comedian's companion-manager Erin Fleming was postponed again Monday because the court had to hear a criminal case.

Candace Gillett, clerk to Superior Court Judge Jacqueline Weiss, explained that the criminal case was assigned to the court "at the last minute," and "criminal matters take precedence" over civil suits such as the Marx case. She also said she did not know how long the criminal case would take. The Marx trial was rescheduled for Monday last week because not enough prospective jurors were available. The Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, as executors of Marx's estate, sued Miss Fleming shortly after Marx's death in August 1977 in an effort to recover all money and property which Miss Fleming, 42, obtained during her seven-year relationship with the elderly comedian. The lawsuit, which also seeks punitive damages, claims the money and property including a house Marx allegedly bought for Miss Fleming were obtained through deceit, intimidation and extortion.

However Miss Fleming's attorney, David Sabih, said that without his client's help, Marx "wouldn't have lived as long as he did Sabih alleged that the lawsuit was an attempt by Marx's family to get around the late comic's will, which provides for virtual disinheritance of any heir challenging the will. The will left most of Marx's estate, valued at between $2.6 million and $60 million, to his three children. However Marx gave Miss Fleming $150,000 and control over his film and other entertainment properties. Wounded actress 'feeling fine' NEW YORK (AP) Actress Jennifer O'Neill has made her first public appearances since accidentally shooting herself in the stomach last month and says she's "feeling fine" and hopes to return to work soon. Miss O'Neill took her 2-year-old son Reis to the Bronx Zoo and went out to dinner in Manhattan on Sunday.

Investigators ruled the Oct. 22 shooting at her suburban Bedford Hills home accidental. Westchester District Attorney Carl Vergari said the gun was unlicensed and a grand jury is hearing evidence to determine whether charges should be brought. Her husband, John Lederer, is recuperating from a self-inflicted stabbing wound to the arm which also was ruled accidental. Miss O'Neill said Sunday her husband "is doing fine." CHECK US OUT!
