NBC had reason to celebrate with the hit performance of the Miss Universepageant, and with its unscripted series Love or and Other specials, including broadcast of 57th Annual Tony and the American Film tribute to movie heroes and villains, were not viewer favorites.

The Tonys broadcast, in particular, dropped in total viewership from last year. ABC, in the meantime, is having its own problems with the dismal showings of the NBA Finals featuring the San Antonio Spurs and New Jersey Nets. The average ratings for the first three games tied the 1981 finals as the lowest three-game viewer average. broadcast of Stanley Cup Finals featuring the Mighty Ducks were also far less than mighty in terms of viewer- ship.

Therein lies a danger for the smitten explorer who ventures too close to, say, a 10-story- tall glacier wall that might collapse without warning.

For a documentary art, it can be perilous as well: How do you capture the majesty, ruination and rebuilding of an ecosystem and a culture in just under two hours? So it is that Harriman Alaska Expedition premiering on KCET tonight at 8, valiantly attempts to look at how the region has changed over a century. The results are mixed. At its heart, the film tells the story of two expeditions along the Alaskan coast: an 1899 trip led by railroad magnate Edward Harriman, who assembled a Who of naturalists on board his ship, and the 2001 retracing of that voyage by a group of scholars. After being told by his doctor to relax more, Harriman set out for Alaska with 25 artists, writers and scientists in fields ranging from botany to geology to zoology. Among his crew were John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club; naturalist writer John Burroughs; George Bird Grinnell, a founder of the National Audu- bonSociety; and photographer Edward Curtis, who would become famous for his pictures of Native Americans.

On their journey over two months, the scientists collected more than 100 trunks of specimens, and the artists made more than 5,000 photos and paintings. Much to the consternation of Muir, Harriman was also determined to hunt, bagging a mother bear and her cub along the way. Roughly a century later, professor Thomas Litwinof Smith College in Massachusetts organized a new expedition, revisiting the route with a cadre of scholars, albeit using modern technology. Their goal was to observe the changes since day. What they found was a mixture of bad and good, as explained in the numerous by the various experts in history, ecology, economics, culture and so on.

The combination of all these storytelling strands demands that viewers pay close attention. Even then, easy to get lost in the details, by focusing on the beautiful photography or being swept along by the languid pace. both a testament to and a criticism of filmmakers Lawrence Hottand Diane Garey that you really need to see it more than once to understand the full import of on screen.
