PALL MALL Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined That Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health. 0.6 mg. nicotine av. per cigarette by FTC method. ABC is touting "Three's Company" as an "adult" comedy series.

Having screened the episode that airs tonight at 9:30, I'm seriously considering asking other adults to join me in filing a class action against ABC. Is it possible to sue for defamation of maturity? Though "Three's Company" tries desperately to be hip, with-it or, as ABC puts it, "rife with contemporary complications," it succeeds only in being stupid, sniggering and generally tasteless, depending heavily on sex (and sexist) jokes. THIS ALLEGED comedy's situation, as established tonight, is its main characters' living arrangement. At the outset, we find Janet (Joyce DeWitt) and Chrissy (Suzanne Somers) in their apartment the morning after a big party they threw to celebrate their roommate's wedding. The roommate had to leave the party to have a baby.

This becomes a running gag. When Janet turns on the water in' the bathtub, she awakens a strange man (John Ritter) who explains his name is Jack and that he had crashed their party and passed out. Invited to breakfast, Jack spends the rest of the episode in a woman's robe (more "adult" humor) while his clothes are drying. Meanwhile downstairs, the landlords, the Ropers (Norman Fell and Audra Lindley), gripe about the noise the party made and exchange insults. He calls her a cow.

She needles him about her lack of sexual fulfillment. Eventually, tfiey end up upstairs where Janet and Chrissy, who can't even boil water, have discovered that Jack is studying to be a chef and decided he'd make a perfect third roommate. Jack, who already has designs on Chrissy, is willing. THE CONSERVATIVE, crabby Mr. Roper "ron't hear of it.

That is, not until Janet takes him and tells him there'll be no hanky-panky because ck is gay. Then the landlord okays the arrangement. That he'd do so is ridiculous, of course, but it's consistent with the rest of the episode. "Three's Company" is one of three spring tryout series ABC is sneak previewing tonight. "Westside Medical," at 10, has its share of medical, melodrama cliches, but it gets off to a promising start in spite of them, thanks to a sensitive, low-key script, good performances by regulars James Sloyan, Linda Carlson and Ernest Thompson and, most of all, a remarkable piece pf acting by guest star Season Hubley.

SHE PLAYS a young deaf teacher at a school for the deaf. An operation makes it possible for her to hear, but her joy, affectingly conveyed in a beautiful scene wherein she hears her name for the first time, soon gives way to frustration. She feels strange in the silent world of the school. But, because she's only begun to master speech, she can't get other work. Her falling for her doctor (Thompson) further complicates the situation, but the quality of the acting keeps the story from degenerating to the level of "Medical Center." At 8:30, ABC is previewing "Eight Is Enough." It's about newspaperman Tom Bradford (Dick Van Patten), his wife Joan (Diana Hyland) and their brood.

Tonight's episode is titled "Never Try Eating Nectarines Since Juice May Dispense." That's an anagram Tom uses to remember the names of his five daughters and three sons. It's also an indication that this family drama isn't quite as serious as ABC's "Family." There's a lot to like here. The characters look reasonably real. They worry about bills. They get along well, but not perfectly.

But I was rather indifferent to this episode, which revolves around daughter Elizabeth's arrest for possession of narcotics. It's a mite slow. Still, it's the kind of show I think will grow on folks.
