Radio By Lewis Segal Times Staff Writer The first thing wrong with the PBS in telecast tonight is its title: to Be Wild: The Leading Men of American Ballet (8 p.m., KCET).

Wild? Mild is more like it. Riding a motorcycle and fearlessly proclaiming his heterosexuality exactly make Ethan Stiefel arebel hellion, and about as edgy as anyone gets in this lightweight, hourlong look at four virtuosos: Stiefel, Vladimir Malakhov, Jose Manuel and Angel Corella.Indeed, a rather strained attempt to make these high-profile dance artists seem like ordinary guys and it work. Now about that subtitle: If these star dancers really are the leading men of ABT, where does that leave their stellar colleague Julio for that matter, all the men at the top of the company roster in performances at the Kodak Theatre in December? In the best moments, the camera follows its subjects to their far-flung birthplaces while we hear them talk about their reasons for becoming dancers. Corella and Malakhov are particularly revealing about growing up alienated from their peers and families, and the parents often provide valuable insights plus vintage home movies. Director Judy Kinbergproves obsessed, however, with cramming virtuosity onto the screen, much of it culled from the PBS telecast of a result, the talk and images often refuse to connect.

We hear Corella call himself a passionate dancer but see only technical fireworks. We hear Stiefel speak of needing a variety of challenges but see only flashy jumps and turns. Unifying the hour: scenes showing choreographer Mark Morris creating a new work for these four men. Unfortunately, his plotless, seven-minute showpiece Schumann) turns out to be an unimaginative exercise unworthy of its cast. But the rehearsal footage is a delight and lasts longer than the work itself.

pure ABC has scheduled the project in one of its most perilous time slots 8 p.m. Thursdays, versus and during a relatively fallow period between the February and May rating sweeps, key periods that networks use to determine advertising rates. That timing, and time slot, might otherwise suggest that ABC has little faith in the series. The decision takes on a different light, however, set against the prospect of war in Iraq. Jeff Bader, executive vice president in charge of scheduling, admitted that the network had grappled with some uncertainty about when it made sense to broadcast the program, which he called tribute to the people who are over there, doing what He added that ABC will gauging the mood of the country right up until this which could result in a scheduling change if events warrant it.
