FOR C0NDOS APARTMENTS MOTELS HEAT about two days after I got the word. I felt bad.

But I didn't feel bad about the show. I don't think we'd hit our stride yet. "We were just starting to turn corners in making it a more enjoyable thing to view," said the actor, who played a widowed Japanese inventor who moves his family to Chicago. Morita is one of two ABC stars the other is Jack Soo of "Barney Miller" who were among hundreds of thousands of Japanese-Americans the government uprooted from their West Coast homes and put in internment camps during World War II. He relived part of that sad memory early this year when playing an old Japanese photographer in NBC's "Farewell to Manzanar," a drama about one such internment camp.

He acted the part in the actual camp, Tule Lake in Northern California, in which lie and his family were interned during the war. "It was kind of spooky after all those years," he said. But he said he felt no bitterness because "I've learned how to put it in its own perspective. My battles are bigger now. "I have a weird theory on that whole thing.

People didn't do that to us. The times did it to us. Everybody was involved in that war in some way. Let me give you an example. "I have a very dear friend who was a survivor of the Bataan Death March.

He taught me much of what I fundamentally know about stand-up comedy. I never knew he was in the Death March until years later. He kept it well hidden. "But that's an irony of life, man. Here we are two very close, dear friends.

But we were both caught in opposite sides of the war." By JAY SHARBUTT 11m AaMclatad fT LOS ANGELES On the final night of "Mr. T. and Tina" on ABC, Pat Morita, 'star of the canceled show, was at an awards dinner here for James Komack, whose company made the program. You wouldn't know the series was dead by looking at Morita, He laughed, cracked jokes, gave no hint of gloom. His only regret is that as a guest speaker, he didn't have enough time for just one more joke.

"I would have said many people offered me condolences for being off the air," he said. "And that people asked me why they took 'T. and Tina' off. I had no answer. So I went to Mr.

Komack. "I said, 'Jimmy, why'd they take us He says. 'Bad I say, 'why'd we get bad He says. 'Well, we were on in a very bad time slot. People were still Thus spake Pat Morita, stand-up comedian, actor, native of Berkeley, and a performer now getting his night club act back in shape while doing a guest TV shot now and then.

A series cancellation has been known to cause a star deep depression, not to mention repossession of the family Rolls-Royce. But Morita shrugs off his program's demise as part of the hazards of show biz. He said he hadn't expected the ax to fall so quickly, despite the comedy's low ratings, but added: "Hey, things happen. It's that kind of business." Naturally, he said, he was disappointed and "the depression hit me OlARl fOC WITH SUN Eliminate: Fading of FurnHura, Fading of Drapat, Fadkia of Carpet, Strangtfwna Wlndowt, (Ellm.
