Your daily guide Fran ken, Koppel look-alike pair up for 'Nightline' parody NBC has ordered three midseason sitcoms: Lateline, House Rules and You Send Me. Lateline, a parody of ABC's features Saturday Night Live vet Al Franken as a hapless correspondent, with Robert Foxworth as the Ted Koppel-like anchor. Real-life newsmakers will appear regularly. House stars Maria Pitillo, David Newsom and Bradley White as professional, platonic roommates. Send features three young couples in various stages of love, with James Lesure and Holly Robinson Peete as newiyweds.

Braugher plans to leave 'Homicide return to theater for Shakespeare Andre Braugher, repeatedly called "the best actor on television" by TV critics, says this will be his last year as steel-willed Detective Frank Pembleton on NBC's Homicide: Life on the Street. His five-year contract expires at the end of the '97-98 season. "After years with the show the characterization could begin to take over Andre rather than Andre playing Frank," Braugher recently said, adding that he'd like to get back to the stage. Shakespeare-seasoned Braugher cited Othello and Macbeth as two plays on his wish list Those roles seem no more demanding than his story arc last season on Homicide, in which Pembleton struggled to recover from a near-fatal stroke.

I CLOSE day and the parents began to notice a certain relaxed air during family conversations. Turning routines into rituals or creating rituals from scratch takes time, discussion and patience, Doherty says.

When a family member decides to create a ritual, he suggests that parents discuss together what it is they would like to achieve. Children, especially older children, can voice their thoughts on an idea. Instead of imposing a ritual on others, he says, propose an experiment. And expect some Fox After Breakfast (9 a.m. Ch.

When families belong to a church or synagogue, when they volunteer together or even organize a block party, families instill in children a set of values as well as benefit from the support of others. In Doherty's own life, routines subtly have turned into rituals. When his two children were younger, the family decided one Saturday to go out for pizza. Soon the family was heading to the pizza parlor every Saturday. The children looked forward to the things that connect them.

"People in love have all these rituals they create together," he says. "Then you get married, have a kid and stop doing this." Doherty suggests that couples find a way to connect with each other each day. For years, he says, he and his wife have had coffee alone together for 15 minutes after dinner. When it comes to children, he says, rituals can help parents carve out time for each individual child as well as help build pleasant childhood memories. A bedtime ritual of bath and story time allows a child to expect some time alone with a parent.

The rituals range from everyday events such as family meals and bedtime routines to celebrating Christmas and other family-oriented holidays. They also include connecting families to the communities where they live.

The rituals, Doherty says, will help families build a center where members work toward the family's common needs. They also help members share a family identity, build values and have a sense of predictability, things that Doherty says often become tossed aside in the modern world.
