ThurKJoy, September 23, 1976 ford-Carter debate highlights tonight's television schedule JAY MURiUTT AP TalavWoit Wrtet ji LOS A.NGELES TAP) The firsl of three natknally lelevis- ed face-offs between President Ford and Jimmy drier starts tonight in Philadelphia at 9:30 EOT. It'll be carried by i a networks. The 90-mmule session with the OOP and Democratic 1 presidential contenders is the first of its kind since Sept.

25, 1960. Then. John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon met at station WBBM-TV.

In Chicago for the tirst of four 60-minule televised campaign debates. Tonight's Ford-Carter con- a i deals only with domestic and economic issues. Round Two. on Oct. 6 in San Frar.risco, will cover foreign policy and national defense.

The closing debate on Oct. 22 -no locale is yet yet will be open to a variety of topics. NBC's Edwin Newman will Reagan talk Itofs bottom moderate tonight's opening debate. Me was picked for the job by the Loague ot Women Voters, sponsors ot the debates. The league also picked the queslio.Ters appearing tonight ABC's Frank Reynolds, Elizabeth Drew of the New Yorker and James P.

Gannon of the Wall Street journal. i i a television's "premiere week" continues tonight with seven network entertainments on bill. two are new series -NBC's "Gemini Man" and ABC's "The Tony Randall Siow." We'd say skip the first, don't miss the second. "Gemini," starring Ben 1 is i remake of last fall's flop "Invisible Man" on NBC. In that show, the man could stay invisible as long as he liked.

Not so In the new model. Murphy') man has suffered genetic changes because of a radiation mishap. He.Is good only for 15 minutes 'of no-see- per day. Any longer than that, he goes into syndication. Twight's saga involves a $10 million scam planned by a scientist claims to have Invented a remarkable gasotlne substitute.

Intersect, think tank that employs Murphy, is lo ship it to the gvemment. The shipping is fraught- with hazard, machine gun bullets and a-rousing trucking scene. B'jt the show has only one de- i i Intersecl's chief to the thieving scientist. 11 goes: "Whatever made you think you could gel a a i i i a scheme?" On the brighter side--Randall's new ABC show. He plays a widowed Philadelphia judge with (wo kids-a girl, 17, a boy, 11.

This slww, from the Mary Tyler Moore works, has ihe fine, funny precision in acting and writing you'd expect from that emporium, even though tonight's opener basically is-3 meet-the-characters piece. 1 It also Involves the judge's wooing of a lovely widow he met court. The wooer Is nervous, as he nasn't dated anyone since his wife's "You're not totally'unattrac- tive. Dad," his daughter says before his Big Date. "There's no reason la'the world you can't score." No reason this show can't score with viewers, either.
