(ABC) JANE GOODALL AND THE WORLD OF ANIMAL BEHAVIOR: THE HYENA Not the most beautiful member of the animal kingdom is the hyena, but the beast is certainly one of the most fascinating-and most misunderstood. And that's what this special with naturalist Jane Goodall (you might recall her programs with wild African dogs and baboons) is all about Superb documentary tele-vision-don't miss it; and let the kids stay up if they're remotely interested in the strange ways of nature and her brood. SATURDAY, MAR. 22 8:00 p.m. (ABC) BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1969) -With the fall of France in May 1940, Germany looked invincible, and the dark clouds gathered, as Churchill might put it over the British Isles.

Beginning in August of 1940, the dark clouds over Britain began to rain bombs, spewing from German aircraft that flew their missions almost unimpeded. Unimpeded, that is, for just over a month when, on September 15, the Germans lost so many planes thanks to a well executed British counterattack, that they never again posed a real destructive threat to LcimGsi or any ether British centers. This remarkable film is superb in its action sequences and painstaking in its detail and background -giving a full, rounded picture of the challenge facing British civil and military units and how they went about meeting the challenge. Laurence Olivier, Michel Redgrave, and Trevor Howard are the top luminaries in a huge and impressive task. Well done, by George! (A-D 8:00 p.m.

(NBC) CACTUS FLOWER (1969) Recycled from its phenomenal stage incarnation, this film became a showcase for the familiar mugging of Walter Matthau and the budding talents of kooky Goldie Hawn. Matthau is the sweet-sourpuss bachelor (he's a dentist) who lives for the moment in the flighty arms of his girlfriend Ms. Hawn, while overlooking the warm and wonderful woman right under his nose, or, in this case, dentist's drill-nurse Ingrid Bergman. Well, okay, if you can believe Miss Bergman as a dentist's nurse, you can believe the sly and subtle and fun-filled course of action she follows to nab her man. All with the help of the delightful Hawn.

The cast and director Gene Saks here seem to match the pace and comedic aplomb of the Broadway hit version, and the result is a grab-bag of laughs for us homebodies. (A-HD SATURDAY, MAR. 15 8:00 p.m. (NBC) THE OMEGA MAN (1971) We'd just about managed to forget this bit of high-priced trash when along comes the network to shove it rudely back into our living room. The sci-fi story about the last healthy man on earth following a nuclear holocaust-plus -ecological -disaster reeks of strained social and political significance.

What it is, shallow down inside, is a garden-variety melodrama about gulp, true love. Charlton Heston adds wasted class in the title role, as a man who must choose between his own survival or the rebuilding of the human race, even if it does mean that he has to flirt with the only untainted woman around, a girl played by Rosalind Cash. Hollywood does it again. (A-IH) SUNDAY, MAR. 16 7:30 p.m.

(ABC) WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT (1965) -Any movie that teams Woody Allen and Ursula Andress can't be all bad, although the taste level on this screwball comedy is abysmally low. The plot, such as it is, has to do with the efforts of a demented psychiatrist (Peter Sellers) to sort out his hectic life, which brings him in contact with an inordinate number of loony types (Peter O'Toole, Paula Prentiss, Capuchine, Allen Andress, for starters) running free and easy in and around Paris.

What could have been a fast-moving action film in fresh movie locales is ruined by a confused screenplay, formula characters, and the unsavory cynicism in treatment of a love affair that eventually causes failure for the entire operation.
